CLEVELAND -- Second-grader Andrew Caronchi watched the Cavaliers win the title over the Warriors this past June. But he doesnt remember The Stop that Kevin Love had late against Steph Curry. He doesnt particularly remember LeBron James block or Kyrie Irvings 3, either.What he does remember is running out of his house to celebrate the Cavs winning the first professional championship in Cleveland in 52 years and right into a skunk stench for the ages.I watched the championship, and I stayed up until 10 oclock, and I went outside, and we heard skunks and stuff in the backyard, Andrew says. Our backyards got skunks and raccns. Once a raccn got caught in our garbage.A few weeks ago, 8-year-old Andrew tk the stage with Love. Love would later reflect that he nailed the fancy handshake they had rehearsed: a pound, blowing up the pound and then a WWE-style flex at the end, complete with gratuitous mean mugging. I thought he lked better than me, which is hard to do, Love says.The event was the Cavs annual Big Shots and Little Stars fundraiser for the Flashes of Hope charity. Andrew, who was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin lymphoma when he was just 4 years old, was a guest of honor.For the third straight year since joining the Cavs, Love was a part of the event and chose to dress up with his Little Star as twins. This year he teamed up with Banana Republic for the outfits.Thats what makes it fun, Love says. While its a great event, I also get to throw a little bit of the fashion element into it. ... Same pocket squares, same socks, same colored suit. I went with the turtleneck, he went with the tie.If it sounds vain, thats the point. Flashes of Hope, since it was founded in Cleveland in 2001, has photographed close to 60,000 kids fighting cancer to help them lk and feel attractive and invigorated again through a still image as a confidence bster, as they cope with the depths of the disease.Big Shots and Little Stars is the charitys most impactful annual fundraiser, raising more than $1 million each of the past three years to fund research to accelerate a cure for childrens cancer. The night culminates with a strut on a fashion runway spanning the flr of Quicken Loans Arena where the Cavs court usually is, with players chaperoning the child theyre partnered with for his or her moment in the spotlight.Andrew was less impressed by Loves 6-10 frame that more than doubles his size than he was by what was atop Loves head.He had curly hair, Andrew says, matter-of-factly. And I used to have curly hair.Jenny May-Caronchi, Andrews mother, explains: He had straight hair. And then when he had chemo, it all fell out. And it grew back super curly and blond. It was a completely different texture and color.Andrews hair was back matching Loves the night of the fundraiser -- perfectly coiffed and combed -- as did his outfit. Twins.This years event had a Star Wars theme, and event organizers went all out, with character costumes, flown in from Hollywd, not the cheap stuff, according to one Cavs staffer. There was Darth Vader making his signature breathing sounds, a motorized R2-D2 that would literally roll up to the surprised children and several near-7-feet-tall Chewbaccas that elicited more than a few Chris Birdman Andersen jokes from the Cavs.One of the best things to come of it is that Andrews peers at schl have been talking to him about cancer and asking him questions, May-Caronchi says. Cancer can be a very scary thing for kids to discuss. But this experience with Kevin Love and the show has made it a more approachable topic for them, which is wonderful.As great as the night was for Andrew, it was just a temporary respite. In fact, he didnt know whether he would make it there.I was sick yesterday, and Im on medicine now, so Im doing gd, Andrew says, matter-of-factly, as someone who has already been through chemotherapy and needed five surgeries throughout his treatment, including one to remove his medicine port when it became infected.What does he do when hes feeling sick? I think of happy stuff, Andrew says. That God will keep me safe. Does he pray? Whenever [other] people are sick, I like to do that. Im in Cub Scouts. Im a Wolf. And someones dad was sick and in the hospital, and when we were going home from Cub Scouts, I prayed for him and, actually, he got all better.At 4, Andrew wrestled with severe weight loss and depression stemming from cancer. Love is blown away at his md now: Hes already gone through so much, and at that time in my life, I felt like I didnt have a worry in the world, and at some point, he was fighting for his life, Love says. Seeing the photo and walking out there with the photo that we had of him when he was going through the treatment, you have to take a step back, and I mentioned perspective, thats really what you get from it.And Andrew, well, he just got a new big buddy who invited him back to The Q to see the Cavs play sometime this season.You can lk and say, Hey, thats my friend, Love says.Yeah, Andrew agrees.Ill be like this, Ill score one, and then Ill give you a little, What up, Love says, pantomiming a wave.And Andrew smiled a carefree smile.

Trying to end a slow start is chief among Sean Dyches concerns as new boys Burnley come out of the international break. Having so many players toiling for their country could compound those difficulties Saturday when the Clarets try to peg back fellow promoted side Hull City at Turf Mr.One of the side effects to spending Premier League TV money on quality players is that some of them are called to international duty for World Cup qualifying. Record-signing Jeff Hendrick was among those players representing their country for Burnley (1-0-2), helping Ireland kick off qualifying along with new teammate Stephen Ward.Steven Defour (Belgium), Tom Heaton (England), Sam Vokes (Wales) and Johann Berg Gudmundsson (Iceland) all reported to their respective countries, with only Heaton not seeing any time as he deputised for Joe Hart. Scott Arfield, though, may be the most likely candidate for replacement in Dyches starting XI after playing both of Canadas qualifiers in North America.This match should also serve as Hendricks debut for Burnley, having joined the Clarets on a £10 million transfer from Derby County prior to last weeks deadline, a figure that was also a record for money received by the Rams. The midfielder netted his first international goal in Irelands 2-2 draw Wednesday at Serbia and played well in this summers European Championship.After a protracted deal, we have got a main target of ours and we welcome Jeff to the club and hope he does well, Dyche told the teams official website last week at the time of the signing. He is someone who can add to our strength in midfield and hes a player who is still learning and still developing and is someone who we think we can work for us now and the future.Burnleys midfield was sorely lacking prior to the international break when they were overrun 3-0 by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Aug. 27. The Clarets had less than 40 percent possession and failed to put any of their six shots on frame, and also had a torrid time trying to contain a rejuvenated Eden Hazard.It was the second straight shutout defeat for Burnley, who were bunced from the League Cup by Accrington in extra time on Aug.dddddddddddd 24. Their only goals in four matches this season came in the 2-0 victory over Liverpl on Aug. 20.Though Hull City continue to be unsettled off the field and on the touchline -- the latest attempt for owner Assem Allam to sell the team, this time to a consortium of buyers from Hong Kong and China -- appears to have fallen through, the Tigers (2-0-1) were a pleasant surprise in the early going.They were denied a perfect 3-0-0 start with a 1-0 setback to Manchester United on Aug. 27, conceding a second-half stoppage-time goal to Marcus Rashford. After getting by with only 13 fit players for those matches, Hull City finally opened the pursestrings and acquired six players before the transfer deadline, highlighted by Tottenham and England international Ryan Mason for a reported club-record £12.5 million.Another of the new signings, Norway international Markus Henriksen, is eager to make his Premier League debut.Hull has had a great start to the season and I cant wait to play in the Premier League, said Henriksen, who had 16 goals in all competitions for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar last season and two in three matches this campaign, to the teams official website. The group and the staff are amazing. I had four years in Holland and I felt ready to take the next step.While manager Mike Phelan has more bodies at his disposal this weekend, whether he stays beyond it continues to be an area of concern. While there were reports he was close to signing a deal that would remove the interim status, his representatives released a statement to Sky Sports on Thursday that they remain in talks with the clubs current owners but are still wide apart on an agreement.The home team won each match in the Championship last season, but Burnley have won all four top-level meetings between the sides. The Clarets did the double over Hull in both the 2009-10 and 2014-15 seasons in the Premier League. ' ' '
