The Cleveland Cavaliers are riding an incredible wave of success, becoming just the fourth team in NBA history to start the season with a 15-0 record. This remarkable feat has taken many by surprise, as the team has displayed a level of dominance reminiscent of the franchise’s glory days with LeBron James.
There’s no shortage of excitement surrounding the Cavs. The likes of Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen lead a talented squad under head coach Kenny Atkinson. As the season progresses, the team continues to look as sharp and effective as ever in the opening month.
But it’s not just the stars making a mark. Several lesser-known players, including Max Strus, Dean Wade, and Ty Jerome, have also stepped up, contributing to the team’s success. This exciting momentum has also been matched by a unique presence in the stands at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse — Cavs Frog, a new fan favorite gaining popularity in Cleveland.
With more than 3,000 followers, Cavs Frog has become a beloved figure among Cavaliers fans. As long as the team keeps winning, this following is only expected to grow.
Cavs Frog, Explained
Cavs Frog is more than just an individual, it’s a symbol of the Cavaliers’ current success and the infectious optimism within their fanbase. The person behind the mask celebrates each Cleveland victory by dancing and holding up a handmade sign that gets updated after every game.
This masked figure is hard to miss, wearing whimsical, toad-inspired attire that embodies the fun and lightheartedness of a mascot. Recently, Mitchell, Allen, and Garland joined Cavs Frog in a celebratory dance after the Cavaliers’ 14th win of the season, a commanding 144-126 victory over the Bulls.
“I’ve been wanting to dance with that frog since I’ve seen him, I got my first chance last week. With the way the Cavaliers have looked as of late, I should have plenty more chances," Allen said after the game, via Cleveland.com.
How to Do the Cavs Frog Dance
Cavs Frog is no stranger to the dance floor and has become known for a signature move. To emulate it, follow these steps:
1. Tap your heels, alternating between your left and right foot.
2. Shake both arms back and forth, almost as though you’re cleaning a window.
3. Repeat as desired.
Does Cavs Frog Work for the Team?
Despite its popularity, Cavs Frog is not affiliated with the Cavaliers organization. This fan-made phenomenon is completely independent and simply represents the passion of Cleveland’s supporters. It’s this grassroots connection to the team that has endeared Cavs Frog to so many.
Cavs’ Historic Win Streak
The Cavaliers have achieved an extraordinary accomplishment, winning every game they’ve played to start the 2024-25 season. With contributions from Mitchell, Garland, Mobley, and others, Cleveland has defeated all 15 teams it’s faced so far. This achievement places the Cavs in a select group, as only 15 teams in NBA history have ever started the season with such an impressive win streak.
