Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert believes that his team will be the one to end Cleveland's title drought.

"We will win a championship for Cleveland, Ohio," Gilbert told reporters on Wednesday. "It's going to happen. We don't believe in any of this curse nonsense. We're going to work very hard, beginning a couple of days ago, to make sure that happens."

The city of Cleveland has waited 45 years to celebrate a major sports championship.
