Eight-time Pro Bowl left tackle Joe Thomas is a fixture on the Cleveland sports scene, but he took on a different role Tuesday night.
The Cleveland Browns star lineman played hype man for the Cleveland Cavaliers during their Game 5 clash with the Chicago Bulls.
Thomas implored the Quicken Loans Arena crowd to cheer on the hometown Cavaliers, with the series deadlocked at two games apiece.
