The 2013-14 Cleveland Cavaliers season was highlighted by the exciting development of young star Kyrie Irving, who earned his second consecutive All-Star selection and was named the NBA All-Star Game MVP. The team also benefited from the double-double consistency of Tristan Thompson and the mid-season acquisition of Luol Deng, which provided veteran leadership and defensive grit. While the team finished with a 33-49 record, they showed significant flashes of potential and improved their win total from the previous year, laying the groundwork for the franchise's successful return to championship contention. The first overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, LeBron James is a four-time NBA champion and MVP who led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their historic first title in 2016.
