Crank up “Closer” by The Chainsmokers and bust out your skinny jeans because it feels like 2016 all over again. Well, at least maybe for former players of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
LeBron James, Kevin Love, JR Smith, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye, and Tristan Thompson are in the middle of a reunion in Europe to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their iconic title.
Who could forget the Cavaliers’ improbable comeback from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals a decade ago? James, Love, and Kyrie Irving each had a heroic moment in Game 7. James with “The Block,” Irving with “The Shot,” and Love with “The Stop,” cementing their status as the best trio in team history.
It took 10 years for the Cavaliers to find a new Big Three, as shown by Love on his Instagram Story. And no, he was not talking about Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, and Evan Mobley. In fact, all he needed was Frye.

Of course, fans, um, ate it up.
“Kevin Hate,” said @DMouse9000.
“LOL, it looks like Jabba the Hut’s head is trying to break out of his stomach,” observed @ArthurOrville.
“Channing French Frye,” added @UDCincyFan.
“Kevin, WTF is wrong with you? LMAO,” asked @Love2Musgrave.
“Nah, they were out there doing too much,” commented @ettiennepercy.
Obviously, the jokes never end for Love and company, a testament to their close bond that helped them give Cleveland its first major sports title in 52 years.
They are having a grand time in their reunion, playing golf, drinking wine, eating fine cuisine, and probably reminding Smith non-stop of his infamous blunder.
Now, go find a better Big Three than Frye’s Big Three.
