A Cleveland Cavaliers fan has decided to remind residents of California that the Golden State Warriors watched a 3-1 lead in the 2016 NBA Finals disappear, helping the Cavaliers achieve its first-ever NBA title.
Complex.com noted how the quick progression of the idea evolved after it was noted that purchasing a license plate with the alphanumeric combination “3 1LEAD” was possible.
The fact that this is available makes me want to move to Oakland pic.twitter.com/5OmDkuMSYG

That led Cavs fan Conrad Kaczmarek to first debate whether he should purchase it before then going ahead and actually doing it. The purchase price of the plate was $48, with a $40 renewal charge for subsequent years.
I don't live in Oakland but i could still do it… https://t.co/iHuftKzVkG

Kaczmarek also decided to purchase a license plate frame that read, “Cavaliers 2016 NBA Champions.”

That motivated another individual named Prescott Rossi to do the same with a New York license plate.

No indication yet on whether any Ohio resident has decided to do the same within the Cavaliers’ home state.
