The Cleveland Cavaliers are never gonna let their fans down.
The Cavs pulled out all the stops Friday for “’80s Night” at Quicken Loans Arena, donning sweet throwback uniforms and adopting terrific retro nicknames for their matchup against the Miami Heat.
The squad turned back the clock and turned up the offense in last night's #ALLinORANGE win at The Q.

But the best part of the night came during player introductions, when the team “Rick-Rolled” the 20,000-plus fans in attendance in an epic video.

For the uninformed, “Rick-Rolling” involves springing Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up” on unsuspecting souls. And Cleveland’s players nailed this “Cavs Roll” to a T, from the ridiculous outfits to the questionable yet highly entertaining dance moves.
As For the Win points out, though, LeBron James may have foreshadowed the Cavs’ troll job on opening night.

James and Co. didn’t give up on the court, either, cruising to a 114-84 win to improve to 16-5.
