Reigning NBA Champions the Cleveland Cavaliers kicked-off their season with a convincing 117-88 victory over the New York Knicks last night, and they did it with a little help from The Deadman.

The Undertaker, his wife Michelle McCool, and The Ultimate Warrior's family were in attendance at the Quicken Loans Arena last night. Taker and his crew presented the Cavaliers' Kevin Love with a customer replica WWE World Title, and The Phenom even cut a quick promo for the team.

The following photos and videos have emerged:-

This isn't the first time that Cavaliers' world has collided with The Undertaker's. The team's LeBron James made headlines in June by sporting an Undertaker t-shirt to a practice session during last season's NBA finals, as pictured below:-

The Ultimate Warrior's family were likely there for similar reasons, as LeBron was also pictured in a Warrior t-shirt shortly after winning last year's NBA Championship.

True to form, Taker remained staunchly in-character as he greeted the Cavaliers, and looked considerably healthier than when he was photographed using crutches a few weeks ago. Perhaps his health isn't as bad as first reported, and he'll make it to WrestleMania 33 after all.
