I think it's great news that Z is back in the Wine and Gold family, and I'll tell you why...He has so much to give, and more importantly wants to work at it to be the best...He IS Cleveland and by seeing and thinking the game the way he always has, he'll provide just another perspective for Chris Grant and his basketball operations team...
Chris readily admits he will learn as much from Zydrunas, as Z will from him....This is not a cushy, post career gig, where a former player signs autographs and shakes hands...this is a roll up your sleeves/get after it kind of position, where experience, and more imporantly the human factor comes into play...
And that is why Z will be a success, because of who he is...I often speak to young aspiring broadcasters, and when they ask what the number one component for success is, the answer is simple---Be a Good Person...and it applies in this next phase of Z's life...as he says, he looks forward to the challenge, and because of who is he is, and the kind of person he is, I'm telling you, he's a can't miss, and the Cavs will be the better for it...
How will you fans see a difference? In the continued committment to excellence, which comes from the top man, and trickles all the way down the everyone in the organization, and as you know, Zydrunas Ilgauskus is a Cavalier to the core, and for that, we saltue him, and say welcome home!
