Superfan arrives.

The Cavaliers did not technically make it to the grandest stage when they won the Eastern Conference crown, or when they played their first NBA Finals game.
No, this is how the Cavaliers know they have made it big: Jim Goldstein is here.
The California investor is known as the NBA's Superfan and is impossible to overlook. He sports frizzy, shoulder-length gray hair, wears a cowboy hat and boots, and usually dons outrageous animal-skin clothing-ranging from ostrich to python.
H e was at Friday's media session-clad in brown reptile-milling about the players he has grown to know on a first-name basis as a constant at NBA games. He said he attends about 110-120 games each year, went to 30 Western Conference playoff games this season, and was so bored after the Spurs closed out Phoenix early that he was in Cleveland for the Cavaliers' Game 6 victory over Detroit.

"It's very enjoyable to come into these cities during the playoffs and have so many people come up to me and want to meet me and know who I am, " Goldstein said.
Goldstein has season tickets to both the Los Angeles Clippers and Lakers,even though he doesn't like the Lakers one bit.
He claims to root for the underdog at all times. That would make him a Cavaliers fan in the NBA Finals, right?
"Well, that is somewhat tempered by my being a Western Conference fan," Goldstein hedged. "So I have a conflict there."
