80: Kennywood Amusement Park
Whether it’s the World Series, Stanley Cup or NBA Finals, Game 7 makes for a great story. Recently, one of the greatest stories in NBA history was told. LeBron James brought the city of Cleveland its first major sports title in 52 years.
In honor of this momentous event, I present my Top 10 NBA Stories.
Our guests today come to us straight from Kennywood Park! Welcome to Chris Salerno, Director of Sales & Marketing and Nick Paradise, Director of Public Relations & Social Media.
