Panem et circenses
“He didn’t re-sign with US, so I’ll call him names”- that’s how I see it. Not very mature.

I don’t give a damn about basketball, which I consider the most poorly designed and pointless human activity imaginable (hey, let’s call time out after we shoot a free throw, due to that there foul. ZZZZ). But, like I suppose just about everybody, I will be hoping King James falls on his face after this display of self absorption previously unknown in human existence..
LOL.... what a bizarre letter..... maybe such “venting” goes over with Cavs fans, but it strikes me as adolescent and more than a bit delusional, immature, unprofessional for an owner of a team....
Nice bravado with the ‘guarantee’ of a championship etc..... then again, since NEITHER the Heat nor the Cavs will win a championship in the current century it’s not exactly inaccurate to assert that the Cavs can win one ‘before’ James and the Heat can win one.....
Greatest. Letter. Ever.
Dan Gilbert you magnificent bastard! Please buy the Indians
Who wants to spend their whole life in Cleveland? It’s cold and dreary and depressing. Plus, they never win nothin.
AGREED.
I was never a fan of this classless holligan.
I will be routing for ANY TEAM but Miami this season. I want James to follow Barkley as one who NEVER got a ring. Though, Sir Charles SHOULD have.
Strong words, Mr. Gilbert. Strong, bizarre, and ultimately hollow words. Welcome back to irrelevance, Cavaliers!
I never have been a fan of the NBA but has a mildly positive image of Mr James. The narcissistic show of the last week has certainly turned that around. I am more likely to avoid anything he touts.
Ouch!
I recently moved out of Cleveland, so I’m not privy to all the local news I once was, but I don’t believe Gilbert wrote this. I can’t believe he’d have the nerve to guarantee a winning of a championship in Cleveland even during this century let alone before James wins one.
This is just another in a long line of heartbreaks us Clevelanders have had to endure rooting for sports franchises. I don’t wish ill-will towards him but will not be surprised if it happens. What goes around does indeed come around. He’ll still be rich when it comes around though.
One of the Cleveland talk-show hosts (Mike Trivisano) always called him “LeBoob” because he always wore a Yankee’s baseball cap even while attending Cleveland Indians Games. I thought then that the name “Leboob” was over the top, but now I tend to call him that myself. I never bought one of his jerseys and now I’m glad I didn’t.
