Cleveland hasn't had a major champion since the 1964 Cleveland Browns.

Welcome to the club.

The Cleveland curse is referred to the Curse of Rocky Colavito, named for a very popular baseball player that was traded from the Indians to the Detroit Tigers in 1960. Originally it is ONLY applied to the Indians, but is has slowly grown to encompass all sports. You can read about the curse in Wikipedia.

The Fumble (1988 AFC Championship against the Broncos). In the Wikipedia.
The Drive (1987 AFC Championship against the Broncos). In the Wikipedia.
The Shot. (1989 NBA playoffs against the Bulls). In the Wikipedia.
The Shot II. (1993- Jordan sinks it again in the playoffs to beat the Cavs).

All symptoms of the same curse.
