The Cleveland Cavaliers reached the All-Star Game with the best record in the NBA.
Moreover, they’re not just beating their opponents; they’re dominating them.
Of course, plenty of that has to do with what they’re doing on the court.
Nevertheless, Cleveland analyst Daryl Ruiter believes that the way they are carrying themselves off the court has been telling.
Talking on 92.3 The Fan, he claimed that this team has no drama or hidden agendas.
"There's no drama with these guys. They have fun with each other. I've never seen a group more connected to each other than this Cavs team."

More than that, they seem to legitimately enjoy each other’s company and care for one another.
That might sound simple, but that can take a team a very, very long way.
They’ve been campaigning for one another and praising each other throughout the course of the entire season, and it’s always easier to play hard for someone you care about.
The Cavs have taken that same approach to the court.
No one complains about a lack of touches or shots.
They know everybody’s going to get opportunities to get the job done, and anybody can step up on any given night.
At the end of the day, they’re just a group of players pushing towards a common goal regardless of who gets the numbers, and that’s not something that happens often in professional sports, much less in this era.
Now, it’s all about finishing the season even stronger.
