LeBron James, Cavs teammates celebrate Indians’ World Series berth at bar
LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers teammates continued their support of the city’s other successful professional sports team.
James, JR Smith and Tristan Thompson were among the Cavs players to take in Game 5 of the ALCS Wednesday from a Cleveland bar called Townhall.
After the Indians recorded the final out of the game to beat the Toronto Blue Jays and clinch the franchise’s first World Series berth since 1997, the place went wild. James captured a video and posted it to Instagram:
James also congratulated the Indians via Twitter:
World Series here we come!! Congrats Boyz!! @Indians #RallyTogether

So did Kevin Love:

The way the athletes from the city are supporting each other is fun to see. The best part for Cleveland is that after decades of not having a championship team, the Indians will be playing in the World Series at the same time the Cavs receive their NBA championship rings.
