According to news reports, Cleveland Cavalier’s owner Dan Gilbert has been fined $100,000.00!
Insert foot in mouth HERE Mr. Gilbert!!
DETAILS HERE
Y’all remember, shortly after James announced he was going to the HEAT, Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cavs fans, vilifying the 25-year-old and calling his decision to bolt Cleveland as “narcissistic” and “cowardly behavior.” He also guaranteed his team would win an NBA title “BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE.”
Then dude took it a step further when he later said in a phone interview that he felt the NBA’s two-time MVP quit on the Cavs during the playoffs the past two years, and that James “has gotten a free pass.” He also said James should be held accountable for his actions.
Come on man…you’re wearing your heart on your sleeves right now!
I’ve watched Bron in action, last season, and he has never showed signs of “quitting” during any game!
This entire situation is getting out of hand!
Rev Jesse Jackson responded to Gilbert’s remarks on Sunday by saying the Cavs owner sees James as a “runaway slave” and that Gilbert’s comments put the player in danger.
“He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers,” Jackson said in a release from his Chicago-based civil-rights group. “His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship — between business partners — and LeBron honored his contract.”
I agree with Jesse J in some ways….Lebron had every right to leave Cleveland and to announce it as he felt necessary!
We are in the world of reality…..why not capitalize on it! I don’t think it would cause so much uproar if it was a white player making a life changing decision on National TV!
Just my thoughts…….what are yours?
