This week’s Adidas Brotherhood team of the week is the Cleveland Cavaliers. A team formerly known as “The LeBrons” are a lot more than just one guy this season. Sure King James is still the man and playing like an MVP but even Michael Jordan could not win without a team around him. The Cavs are playing amazing defense and working together as a team  and are right on the tails of the Celtics and Lakers for best record in the league. James is one of the most intense and hard working players in the NBA and it spreads throughout the entire Cavs team. The other players on Cleveland know their roles and play them to perfection. Now this team is a real brotherhood.
