CLEVELAND, OH – Thanks to a fun-fill and thrilling All-Star Game Weekend, Cleveland shed the moniker of being “The Mistake On The Lake” and has turned into a must-see tourist attraction for people to come to.
With over 100,000 in town for events such as NBA Crossover, discussion panels and events by the likes of Wilson, greats such as Clyde Drexler, Paul Pierce and Bill Walton signing autographs with fans, and performances by artists such as 50 Cent, Jack Harlow and Cautious Clay, the NBA is TRULY a global and multi-cultural sport.
If you needed any further evidence of how “The CLE” did as an All-Star host, look no further than all of the rave reviews this reborn Rust Belt city received. Players, entertainers, fans, media, all gave The Land a glowing review.
The Cuyahoga catching fire, the infamous balloon debacle, etc., that is all old news as Cleveland has witnessed an NBA title by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2016, a World Series appearance by the now Cleveland Guardians, A Calder Cup title by the Cleveland Monsters, the 2019 MLB All Star Game, The NCAA Tournament, the 2021 NFL Draft, the NBA All-Star Game since and will host the 2024 Women’s Final Four title.
With the hometown Cavaliers amid the playoff hunt in a stacked East and young talent such as Rookie of the year front-runner Evan Mobley, Darius Garland, Issac Okoro and Jarrett Allen all displaying their wares during All-Star Week, it’s fair to call NBA Crossover the proverbial cherry on top of what was an amazing fun-filled hoops weekend in The Land.
