It’s official: Lebron is off to Miami. Can’t blame him: nice weather, nice beaches… and two fellas named Wade and Bosh. Usually you’d expect his former owner to say “thanks for the years”. Hmm… not this time.
Regardless of what you think of LeBron James or Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, I like candor. Gilbert gives us that:
“He has gotten a free pass,” Gilbert said in a phone interview with The AP. “People have covered up for [James] for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is.”
Oh, it gets better.
“LeBron James needs to go to another team with two superstars already so he can win a championship,” Gilbert said. “We will win a championship before [the Heat] do.”
Then, the big boom:
Gilbert told Cavs fans: “You simply don’t deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.
“I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE”
Gilbert promised that “curse” on Cleveland sports would follow James to Miami.
“The self-declared former ‘King’ will be taking the ‘curse’ with him down south,” Gilbert wrote. “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.”
Gilbert finished the letter by promising to put his focus on bringing a championship to Cleveland with the Cavaliers.
“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….”
Yowza!
