Dan Gilbert, the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers, writes an open letter to fans on his website about LeBron James. First of all, he seems a little angrier than I would have expected. I wonder if LeBron’s camp lead him to believe that he was going to stay in Cleveland. Secondly, he used Comic Sans as his font. If I was a Cleveland fan, I may consider that as the final straw. Lastly, I would assume some very large fines are coming Dan Gilbert’s way. Some of what he said seems to cross the line.
Probably more interesting than the font, is the accusation that LeBron quit during the playoffs. If he was right, the same thing could be said about many other players but most times their owners don’t say it publically.
Finally, it has to suck to be a Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, or New Jersey Nets fan. Your team got rid of a lot pieces so it would have cap space to get LeBron, Bosh, or Wade and now you are all fighting over Carlos Boozer and not much else. Good luck with that since by almost all accounts, you don’t seem to have a Plan B. Yes, NY got Amare but they don’t have much else in terms of talent.
I can’t wait until this drops out of the news, and we get ready for some real basketball playing! I am also glad he did not go for the money, but where he felt he could win.
I see this and still don’t care that he left Ohio, he is awesome, and they almost won this last year!
