COMMITS/SIGNEES

2020 quarterback Drew Pyne‍: "Cavs In 7. Can’t go against The King." 

2018 receiver Kevin Austin Jr.‍: "Cavs. LeBron is a man playing with boys."

2019 offensive lineman John Olmstead‍: "Cavs. LeBron is the GOAT." 

2018 offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson‍: "LeBron is my favorite player in the NBA so I’m riding with the Cavs. As long as the Cavs keep the turnovers down and play intense defense, they can pull it off.

2018 defensive tackle Ja'mion Franklin‍: "Cavs. Lebron got it this go around."

2019 defensive tackle Jacob Lacey‍: "I’m a Cavs fan but because KD joined GS it’s a wrap! LBJ is the GOAT and it was a weak move by KD to join a team that beat you when they were up 3-1!! GS 4-1."

2019 defensive tackle Hunter Spears‍: "Warriors easily. When the Warriors are clicking they’re unstoppable. LeBron can’t play 5v1." 

2019 cornerback KJ Wallace‍: "I want the Cavs to win because I’m a LeBron fan but I think the warriors are gonna get it done."
