Travis and Jason Kelce were greeted with a standing ovation at the Cavaliers’ Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse as they were honored by their hometown team.

Jason announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday, while his younger brother, Travis, just won his third Super Bowl with the Chiefs last month.

And the brothers were applauded by the crowd after a tribute video to Jason was shown, with the Eagles great holding a Cleveland Heights jersey and Travis holding a No. 62 Cavs jersey with ‘Kelce’ on it.

Both wore custom black Cavs jerseys with their football jersey numbers as the crowd went wild behind their courtside seats.

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

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

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

The montage also featured a voiceover from his brother Travis, who said, “All he knew was that he was going to work hard and do his best.”

“And sure enough, I was sitting there taking notes, watching him do it.”
