The Cleveland Cavaliers

With the assistance of sponsors, the franchise in the NBA was able to make its debut in the league in 1970. Following that, the Cleveland Cavaliers continued to grow in the decades that followed it. It attracted support from companies such as Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, among others. In 2019, however, they began to attract the attention of international investors as well. Earlier this year, the Cavaliers formed a partnership with a Chinese billionaire named Jianhua, who had previously worked with the New York Yankees and other professional sports clubs. According to reports, he invested in the NBA franchise by purchasing a 15 percent interest. There is no reason to be surprised, as receiving financing from overseas sources is not uncommon for sports clubs in general. This is also one of the reasons why LeBron James has such a large fan base in the People’s Republic of China!
