Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2021/22 revision of our top Cleveland Cavaliers.
As for all of our top 50 players in basketball we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Basketball Association.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, Cleveland showed improvement and have the makings of a squad that could make some noise this season. Last year resulted in two new entrants and one minor elevation
As always, we present our top five, which was not impacted by last season:
1. LeBron James
2. Mark Price
5. Larry Nance
You can find the entire list here.
Kevin Love moved up one spot to #8.
Debuting at #35 is Center and 2022 All-Stars, Jarrett Allen and Darius Garland at #49.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

Darius Garland was a three-time recipient of the Tennessee Mr. Basketball Award (2016-18) and after a year at Vanderbilt, the Guard was taken with the Fifth Overall Pick (2019) where he landed with the Cavaliers.
Garland became the answer to the trivia question, “Who is the first player to be born in the 2000s to play in the NBA”, but the former Commodore has shown progression in all three of his pro seasons, immediately becoming a starter, and working his way to the All-Star Game in year three. That was the season where he broke out with 21.7 Points and 8.6 Assists per Game, the latter stat placing him sixth overall. Garland was also a Finalist for the Most Improved Player of the Year Award, losing to Ja Morant. Two years ago, Garland had similar numbers (21.6 PPG), and helped the Cavaliers make the playoffs. Garland averaged 18 Points per Game last season and again aided the Cavs in making the playoffs.
Entering his sixth campaign, Garland is a player to watch, and could be the catalyst for a deep playoff run in Cleveland.

Last year, Brooklyn made the playoffs, but were bounced in the first round in a disappointing year. The impact of 2021-22 yielded one elevation and two new entrants.
As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:
1. Jason Kidd
4. Brook Lopez
5. Vince Carter
You can find the entire list here.
The controversial Point Guard, Kyrie Irving moved up to #25 from #35, a staggering amount considering how few Games he played last year, though this is more of an indictment on the tumultuous overturn of the franchise on a regular basis. This made it easy for Irving who was still great when playing to make a jump like this.
Another polarizing figure, Kevin Durant, makes his first appearance at #26. Again, like Irving, this was an easy vault, as he just needed to be…well…Kevin Durant.
Let’s make it three! James Harden, who was only there a year, and never a full season, debuts at #40. See the above to see how it can happen!
That’s basketball!
