Who is Cavs Frog? Explaining mascot and viral dance during Cleveland's win streak | Sporting News

The Cavaliers have experienced unprecedented success since the start of the 2024-25 campaign, rattling off win after win with a sort of vigor that seems to drum up memories of the franchise when LeBron James was running the show.

There's plenty of reason to be excited.

Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen spearhead a talented Kenny Atkinson-led squad that looks as productive as can be in the opening month of the season.

They aren't the only ones to make a contribution.

There are several less-heralded standouts flashing their considerable gifts, from Max Strus and Dean Wade to Ty Jerome.

That's not to mention the thousands of parishioners who file into Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse ahead of games, including one Cavs Frog, a budding icon in the world of sports fandom.

With more than 3,000 followers to its name, Cavs Frog has quickly become one of Cleveland's more notable figures.

As long as the Cavaliers keep winning, that should only continue to grow.

It's a philosophy, one that has swirled across the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in recent weeks.

Gives us all life this Monday @CavsFrog pic.twitter.com/MXHBi2ya0I The Cavaliers look like the best team in the land at present.

That has instilled a sense of optimism within the fanbase.

Hence Cavs Frog, an unknown person completely independent of the team who celebrates Cleveland wins by dancing and holding up a handmade cardboard sign that's updated game after game.

The masked marauder isn't hard to miss.

After all, they wear billowy, toad-like attire replete with all the virtues one would hope for out of a mascot whimsy and goofiness.

Mitchell, Allen, and Garland recently launched the amphibian into posterity, joining Cavs Frog in an outburst of choreography following Cleveland's 14th win of the season, a 144-126 beatdown over the Bulls.

YOUR CLEVELAND CAVALIERS ARE 14-0.

#LetEmKnow pic.twitter.com/LS3q8ZAZXA Ive been wanting to dance with that frog since Ive seen him, Allen said after the game, via Cleveland.com .

Allen got his first chance last week.

With the way the Cavaliers have looked as of late, he should have plenty more in the near-future.

How to do Cavs Frog dance Cavs Frog is no slouch on the dance floor.

Anything but, in fact; if you squint and turn your head, you could easily mistake them for famed Latvian-American choreographer Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Like any great hoofer, Cavs Frog has a go-to move.

Here's how you get it done: H2: Does Cavs Frog work for the team? Contrary to popular belief, Cavs Frog is an entirely organic phenomenon.

They're not employed by the Cavaliers organization and share no real affiliation with the franchise outside of ostensibly being a fan.

Simply, Cavs Fan is a voice of the people, not the team.

Perhaps that's why Clevelanders hold the spotted newt in such high regard.

Anyone else? @realcavsfrog #cavs #nba #cleveland pic.twitter.com/VcdJhTjDIN Cavs win streak, explained Fueled by heroics from Mitchell, Garland, Mobley, and the rest of Atkinson's squad, Cleveland has vanquished all 15 teams it's faced to start the campaign.

That's a notable feat, as only 15 sides in league history have opened the season on a winning streak lasting 10 games or longer.

At present, the Cavaliers are tied with the 1993-94 Rockets and 1948-49 Capitols for the third-longest winning streak to start the regular season.

One more victory would move them into second place, eight games short of the 2015-16 Warriors' record mark of 24.
