Jason announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday while his younger brother Travis is fresh off of his third Super Bowl win with the Chiefs last month.

And the brothers were cheered on by the crowd after a tribute video was shown for Jason, with the Eagles great holding up a Cleveland Heights T-shirt and Travis holding up a No. 62 Cavs jersey with ‘Kelce’ on it.

They both wore customized black Cavs jerseys with their football jersey numbers on them as the crowd went wild behind their courtside seats.

The Cavs also gave away bobbleheads of them on Tuesday night, while also selling exclusive Kelce/Cavs merchandise to benefit local schools.

 

The brothers are Cleveland Heights, Ohio natives and lifelong fans of their hometown Cavaliers.

In a nearly two-minute long video dedicated to Jason, the Cavs included footage spanning from his childhood to his pro NFL career.

The montage also featured voiceover from his brother Travis, who said, ‘All he knew is that he was going to work hard and give it his best.

‘And sure enough I was sitting there taking notes, watching him do it.’
