Cavs Owner Dan Gilbert Rips LeBron a New One with Open Letter (Text)
One of the most interesting nights in NBA history with LeBron James decision to leave the Cleveland Cavs and join the Miami Heat got even more interesting on Thursday night with Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, in an open letter, ripped the self-appointed King a new one calling him a ‘coward’.
He went on to remove the Cleveland curse and placed it on LeBron to take with him to South Beach and guaranteed Cavs fans that his team would win a NBA Championship before the King does.
Dan Gilbert’s Open Letter to Cav Fans Bashing LeBron
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.
