The Cleveland Cavaliers paid tribute to locally-born football stars Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce on Tuesday night, but there was one part of the special night that Travis may want to forget.
The Cavs mascot brought the crowd to life when he handed each Kelce brother a beer, and the arena focused in to see which brother could drink his the fastest. In classic big brother fashion, Jason embarrassed Travis, and did it on the Jumbotron with their whole hometown watching.
Jason’s beer was gone before Travis could blink. The recently-retired Philadelphia Eagles center mouthed “I won” with fraternal pride, while Travis decided to distract from his poor showing by hyping up the Cleveland crowd.
Whether it was the Kelce bobblehead giveaway or Cleveland honoring Jason’s retirement, the New Heights stars being in the building seemed to give the Cavs some juice.
Playing without Donovan Mitchell, the Cavaliers managed to do what no team had done in the last 11 games: beat the Boston Celtics. Little-known Dean Wade led Cleveland with 23 points as they erased a 22-point lead for Boston in the fourth quarter for the 105-104 victory.
Cavs guard Darius Garland was seen celebrating with the local legends after the game, another victory lap for the most popular brothers I the NFL after Travis’ Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl triumph and Jason’s celebrated retirement from the Eagles.
