Cavs owner Dan Gilbert rips LeBron
Matt Mullin
Is LeBron James a coward for leaving Cleveland to join forces with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami?
If you ask Cavs' owner Dan Gilbert, the answer is yes. In an open letter posted on the home page of the Cavaliers' Web site, Gilbert ripped James. At one point, Gilbert said this was a "cowardly betrayal" that the fans didn't deserve.
In bold and a larger font than the rest of the letter, Gilbert made a rather unrealistic promise to Cleveland fans:
"I personally guarantee that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win an NBA championship before the self-titled former 'king' wins one."
Here is a link to the full letter.

- What bulsh! Sour grapes by the owners club used to being the ones who get to send players here and there for their OWN purposes. Now a player gets to make the decision himself and it's a "betrayal." What hypocrisy.— SemperAugust
- Got to give Gilbert credit. It took some stones to write that one.— Trident252
- Ridiculous. Fantasy and video games don't count, Gilbert. Cavs will win NOTHING in the foreseeable future.— xing
- Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Poor Gilbert isn't gone to make the money he was gone to make when he had James under contract. Boo-Hoo! I have a tear in my eye!— neozon
- Boy, if I am an NBA player I would love to play for an owner who is going to spread dirt on me like a 13 year old girl, after I leave his team for less money and better chance to win. Well done Gilbert, you are the one that makes Cleveland look bad, not Lebron. By the way, James is 25, your are what, 45? 50? What's your excuse for acting like a baby?— EaglesBleedMoney
- if he had gotten amare from pheonix during the season this wouldn't have happend.— sasquatches
- I guess Gilbert forgot that LeBron James was a free agent and could play for another team if he wanted to. Evidently Gilbert doesn't know that the 13th Amendment freed the slaves.— Dolly92748
- Gilbert is pretty much right. LeBron led the Cavs (and the entire city of Cleveland) on for weeks to boost LeBron's fragile ego. In the meantime, the Cavs made serious personnel changes. A real man (which does not include LeBron) would have simply told the Cavs he isn't going to stay there.— chrissmith
