lol @ the cavs winning the ring without lebron

There's already a LeBron James is a tool thread.

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

Why, because it was on national tv in a scheduled timeslot?

who cares? no matter how/when he announced his decision, it would be on national tv (only difference is that we wouldnt have know the time until a few hours before, but what's the big deal?).

I've never been a huge fan of lebron, but the hate he is getting for this is ridiculous. If anything, the "show" gave him a chance to explain the reasons for his decision, which he did a pretty good job of imo

Cannot believe that was written by an owner, or anyone with half a brain. Wow.

+1.

Is this guy real, he is such a sour puss and I wanted/need him in Chi town.

Don't understand how he thinks he owns LBJ anyway slave era is over......well sorta

Lucky to have had that rigged 1st pick anyway year he came out IMO

things like not telling cleveland until the last minute, making the show purely about himself make it disrepectful....he didn't owe shit, but to come from cleveland, he should have had the decency to do it more humblely the same way you dont try to rub it in too much when u beat ur friend at a video game and not be too much of a jerk

im going to say he was hacked. I dont see a sober owner saying that.

you idiots on the outside looking in can think whatever you want...

this statement obv wasnt intended to get outisiders happy... from a real cavs fans point of view this makes me real happy... this is a city that needs a fire lit under its ass...

DG is a great owner and I support the hell out of him...

just bought my Lebron Miami Heat Jersey!
