Open letter to Cavs fans from the Cavaliers’ majority owner, Dan Gilbert.

Scathing.
I heard an awesome line about LeBron today on ESPN:
“Prince James realized he couldnt lead a team to a championship so he had to go to a team with a ‘Batman’ AND a ‘Robin’ to be another 'Robin”
-Skip Bayless
hahahhaha I thought that was awesome!

HAHA WHAT? Fucking Cleveland Crybabies. The owner is an embarrasment. Does anyone understand what the term “FREE AGENT” means?
Oh Lebron, we all need you because this place sucks so bad without you here to make it better. Yea, I’d stay if I were him. … NOT!
We hate althetes who do shit ONLY for the money, he did the opposite. We hate athletes who are so ego driven, they need to be “THE MAN” and there is no room in the clubhouse for someone who could share the spotlight, he did the opposite.
We hate althetes who put thier personal interests ahead of the game and trying to win the game. Lebron James Left his HOME because he wanted to go win at basketball, sharing the spotlight and taking less mony. THIS is what type of althete the world loves, or at least its what we all say we wanted althetes to act like. Seriously people make up your mind.

I’m sorry, but I’m tired of hearing the “he didn’t do it for the money!!!” line. That’s bullshit. He’s signing for one year less, but with teaming up with another Nike sponsored athlete, on a new team with a new number in a “fake” town like Miami he’ll make up that lost money in a season. Cleveland gave him everything he asked for for 7 fucking years. If your team has the talent to have the leagues best record 2 years running, then they should have the talent to compete for a championship. The facts are James doesn’t have the nuts the all-timers had/have and had to go chase greatness instead of bringing it his way. He will forever be remebered as a spoiled, arrogant prima donna who deserted his city 'cause he couldn’t handle the pressure. I don’t care how many titles he may or may not win over his career.

He isn’t making more money in Miami unless they win a championship or two. So either he wins a championship and is better off, because A) he has a championship and B) he has more money, or he doesn’t win a championship and he makes less money than he would in cleveland. I really do not have a problem with WHAT he did. Did he attention whore? sure, big deal, he raised 5 Mil for kids. I’m not losing sleep over it.
Sidenote, should A-Rod have stayed in Texas so he could be the star of the team and never win a title, or did he make the right move going into a star packed Yankees team and get his title (and possibly a few more).

Once again, signing with another Nike sponsored athlete on a stacked team in a fake city will bring that money home by the end of this year, title or no title.
So who are these “legends” that won titles all by themselves?
Kobe had Shaq
Wade had Shaq
Magic had Kareem
Jordan had Pippen
The Pistons had basically 5 all star caliber players
Erving had Malone
Bird had Parrish and Mchale
Lebron did not have a #2 guy in Cleveland, so of course he left.
Latest thing I’ve heard: Dan Gilbert has lowered the price of Lebron’s Fathead poster to $17.41(I think) because that was the year Bendict Arnold was born. This guy is such a big baby. Its pathetic.
