In their quest for their first NBA title, the Cleveland Cavaliers have finally found their song. Much like the “Super Bowl Shuffle” inspired the Chicago Bears to take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy after SBXX, the Cavs may have come across the anthem that will lead LeBron & Co. to b-ball glory.

Cavs come to town
