CHICAGO -- The Rev. Jesse Jackson says Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert sees LeBron James as a "runaway slave" and that his comments after the forward decided to join the Miami Heat put the player in danger.

LeBron did Colt McCoy a helluva favor.
The kid throws a couple of touchdown passes this fall, wins a game or two, and he’ll be the new King of Cleveland.
All the car dealer commercials, etc. will be his.

I was listening to the local sports staion Friday night. A guy who was in the Cavs lockerroom after a game said that Lebron had a man dress him after each game.
Unless it’s a woman, it’s kinda creepy.

Hey Jesse, I have a different take on it. If anyone put LeBron’s life in danger it was LeBron. People were pissed at him before the owner said something stupid.

There turns out to be some very creepy stuff about Lebron. But he's Miami's little treasure now. When in Cleveland he could get away with calling himself The King. Wait till he walks into a club in South Beach and nobody notices...
To: Gay State Conservative
Was the comment stupid? Of course it was Especially the part about Cleveland winning a title before Miami does. The Cavs will be lucky to win 30 games in the next 3 years.
Gilbert's out of his mind, Jesse is just being Jesse (a rabble-rousing race pimp), and LeBron is self-absorbed wannabe global icon who speaks of himself in the third person to help promote his "global brand."
They all deserve each other.

Maybe LeBron was just trying to get his mom away from Delonte West.

It only takes one nutcase. This is a rare instance in which agree with Jesse Jackson.
Not even George Steinbrenner ever spoke as thoughtlessly as Dan Gilbert. In a well run sports league he would get a stiff suspension.
