The Cleveland Cavaliers announces the names of the newest class of 2024 Wall of Honor inductees. The four individuals, Terrell Brandon, Chuck Broski, Jim Chones and Mike Mitchell, helped sculpt the history of the franchise and will be inducted as members of the Cavaliers Wall of Honor Class of 2024 during a special ceremony on Sunday, March 10, at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse, when the Cavs host the Brooklyn Nets at 7:00 p.m.
"The Wall of Honor stands as an enduring testament, immortalizing these four extraordinary individuals for their profound impact on Cleveland Cavaliers basketball,” said Koby Altman, Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations. “Jim, Terrell and Mike each personified excellence across different eras in our organization’s rich sports history, with undeniable contributions both on and off the court, while Chuck has been a cornerstone of this franchise since its inception, documenting all the great on-court accomplishments of our players. Their legacies will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of Cavaliers faithful, forever woven into the fabric of our proud tradition.”
The Cavaliers Wall of Honor program debuted during the Cavs’ 50th season in 2019-20 and was created as a permanent way to recognize and honor those who have played a distinguished and pivotal role in Cavs history. The Wall of Honor resides prominently in the North Atrium area of the FieldHouse and features a mosaic of custom designed tiles that represent each honoree. Each inductee has two silver tiles, one engraved with their name, photo, years with the organization, and their jersey number or team role. The other displays their name, key accomplishments, and jersey number/role. Gold tiles represent individuals who have retired jerseys.
At halftime, the inductees will be introduced with the presentation of the rings, an iconic symbol of their distinguished status. Fans can experience this momentous by purchasing tickets at cavs.com/promo.
Terrell Brandon "1" was selected as the 11th overall pick in the 1991 NBA Draft. His professional career has taken him to three cities (Cleveland, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis) and his best play came as a Cavs player, where he earned two NBA All-Star selections. However, some of Brandon's most impressive stats may be seen off the court. He won the 1997 NBA Sportsmanship Award for his devotion to children, and his Portland-based foundation provides numerous services to underprivileged youth in his hometown.
Chuck Broski "54" has been a longtime team statistician, since the founding of the Cavs. He is currently the crew chief in charge of the stats crew and has been with the organization since their inaugural season in 1970. He has worked as a team statistician for over 2,200 Cavs home games, including the Miracle of Richfield season, five NBA Finals, and the 2016 NBA Championship. Broski also served on the stat crew during three NBA All-Star Games in Cleveland (1981, 1997, 2022).
Jim Chones "22" played in 400 games over five seasons for the Cavs, averaging 14.3 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. He was also a vital part of the Miracle of Richfield team. Cleveland reached its first-ever Eastern Conference finals in Chones’ second season. Following his tenure in Cleveland, he played for the Los Angeles Lakers, where he won an NBA Championship in 1979. After retiring in 1982, Chones spent 10 seasons as a television color analyst for the Cavs. He later joined the Cavs’ radio broadcast team in 2010, where he continues to educate and entertain fans to this day.
Mike Mitchell "30" was drafted as the 15th pick in the first round of the 1978 NBA Draft by the Cleveland Cavs. He averaged nearly 20 points in three and a half years with the Wine and Gold, before playing his final six-plus seasons with the San Antonio Spurs. Mitchell, who competed in the 1981 NBA All-Star Game at Richfield Coliseum, was known for his mid-range jump shot and ability to play well under pressure in the postseason. Following his playing career, Mitchell worked as a counselor for at-risk youth in San Antonio. He passed away in 2011 at the age of 55.
"It is truly something special to be able to recognize each class of the honorees for their unique contributions to this organization,” said Campy Russell, Director of Alumni Engagement and Cavs Legend. “Each person represents a chapter in the Cleveland Cavaliers’ collective story. This year’s event is a commemoration for the remarkable individuals who have shaped our ongoing journey."
Each inductee will also receive a distinctive ring that celebrates their legacy with the franchise. Cavs Legend and five-time All-Star Brad Daugherty, and Russell were Instrumental in helping to bring the Wall of Honor ring to life. They played an integral role in the design and symbolism of the custom-made pieces, along with Baron Rings.
Designed to reflect the special significance of the tribute wall, the unique rings will be re-introduced for the first time since the 2022 induction and presented to this class. The 10K yellow gold ring has an inset of 23 diamonds and is personalized to reflect the distinctive careers of the inductee— the player's jersey number or number of years dedicated to the Cavs is showcased with their name engraved along the band. Previous inductees include Wayne Embry, Bill Fitch, John Johnson, Nick Mileti and John “Hot Rod” Williams inducted as members of the 2019 class. World B. Free, Gordon Gund, Campy Russell and Lenny Wilkins were inducted in 2022.
