CAVS OWNER GOES OFF ON LEBRON

I swear this is the last thing I will write about the egotistical, selfish piece of garbage known as "King" James. Cavs majority owner Dan Gilbert wrote an open letter to all the Cavalier fans last night and posted it on Cavs.com. In today's PC world where it is hard to get any true indication of one's feeling because of fear of legality issues and or fear of being mocked by the masses it is a pleasant sight to see Gilbert's words. He speaks from his heart and doesn't give a shit about the repercussions. This is the kind of owner I would want for my team.


Dear Cleveland, All Of Northeast Ohio and Cleveland Cavaliers Supporters Wherever You May Be Tonight;

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

Clearly, this is bitterly disappointing to all of us.

The good news is that the ownership team and the rest of the hard-working, loyal, and driven staff over here at your hometown Cavaliers have not betrayed you nor NEVER will betray you.

There is so much more to tell you about the events of the recent past and our more than exciting future. Over the next several days and weeks, we will be communicating much of that to you.

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. And until he does "right" by Cleveland and Ohio, James (and the town where he plays) will unfortunately own this dreaded spell and bad karma.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

I PROMISE you that our energy, focus, capital, knowledge and experience will be directed at one thing and one thing only:

DELIVERING YOU the championship you have long deserved and is long overdue....



Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers

No doubt Gilbert is a very pissed off individual and he should be. He lost his #1 moneymaking employee without so much as a phone call to warn him. He like everyone else found out by watching "The Decision" on ESPN. Lebron turned his back on the whole state of Ohio last night. He spit on them and said he would rather go down South and win then stick it out with his home team. I can't wait to hear all about the garbage Gilbert has dealt with from James. He has a ton of dirt that never got exposed in Cleveland because the media loved him. That all changes now. Now we will get to see the true Lebron. The "Queen" Lebron.
