The Cleveland Cavaliers have a new star.
De’Andre Hunter is there to help with their championship aspirations and wants to make a good first impression.
That’s why he made sure to go the extra mile in his first game with the team.
As shown by Mikey McNuggets on X, Hunter stayed after his first pregame workout to sign no less than 50 autographs for his new fans.

Hunter has been very enthusiastic about this new chapter in his career.
The former Atlanta Hawks lottery pick knows that he can be a part of something special in Cleveland, and he was a seamless fit in his first game with the team.
The Cavs dominated the undermanned Minnesota Timberwolves right out of the gate, and Hunter gave the fans a glimpse of what to expect from him from now on.
He knocked down three of four shots from beyond the arc, played strong defense, and put his body on the line on every possession.
More than that, he clearly wants to be a part of the community as well.
The Cavaliers are still missing two of their best defensive players.
Isaac Okoro (shoulder) and Dean Wade (knee) will most likely remain out through the All-Star break.
Once they’re back to full strength, the Cavs might have one of the best defensive squads in the entire league.
This team didn’t need to make many moves at the trade deadline, so GM Koby Altman deserves credit for addressing its biggest – and maybe even only – flaw.
