Big lineup in Akron, Ohio to meet Delly

IT'S been official for a week, but maybe the strongest sign the Cleveland Cavaliers are back in the NBA Finals hasn’t come from round-the-clock radio, TV commercials or plain old discussion in offices, bars and wherever else people in Northeast Ohio gather.

It’s what I saw Monday night.

Hundreds of people -- maybe even 1,000 -- came to Summit Mall in suburban Akron to get a glimpse of Cavs guard Matthew Dellavedova. More specifically, to pay $25 to say hello and get Dellavedova’s autograph.

You should keep in mind guys that this is pretty much close to the norm in America. Their big conventions you pay money to get autographs from famous people. Events like Comicon, or any of the Electronic Expos and so on. Sporting events are no different.

THankfully this hasnt infiltrated Australian Society yet.
