The fortunes of the Cavaliers are about to change: the great LeBron James, the biggest star in basketball, is coming to Cleveland. But when superfan Matt''s latest business venture turns sour, he has to sell his most prized possession: his pair of Cavs season tickets. The buyer, Shawn, just sold his first short story – so watching his team in the flesh for the first time will be a sweet reward. Now just to figure out what to do with that second ticket …
Thrown together by chance, the next twelve years prove as defining, dramatic, and sometimes heart-breaking for Matt and Shawn as they do for the Cavs – and for ''King'' Lebron James.

Multi-award-winner Rajiv Joseph offers a play-by-play look at how friendship and supporting a team intersect. His plays include the Obie Award-winning Describe the Night, Guards at the Taj, and his Pulitzer Prize-finalist Broadway play Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.
