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.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

If you thought we were motivated before tonight to bring the hardware to Cleveland, I can tell you that this shameful display of selfishness and betrayal by one of our very own has shifted our "motivation" to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels.

Some people think they should go to heaven but NOT have to die to get there.

Sorry, but that's simply not how it works.

This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown "chosen one" sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn. And "who" we would want them to grow-up to become.

But the good news is that this heartless and callous action can only serve as the antidote to the so-called "curse" on Cleveland, Ohio.

The self-declared former "King" will be taking the "curse" with him down south. 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.

Just watch.

Sleep well, Cleveland.

Tomorrow is a new and much brighter day....

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....



Dan Gilbert
Majority Owner
Cleveland Cavaliers

101
There's not enough space bars on Orbs PC to express how mad dude is
Jul 09th 2010
91
Man...Gilbert is accusing Bron of quitting in multiple playoff games..
Jul 09th 2010
92
he did quit in the Boston series.
Jul 09th 2010

Jul 09th 2010
114

Jul 09th 2010
113
That makes it so much more disrespectful
Jul 09th 2010
120
No. For real. I think that might have put me back on Bron's side
Jul 09th 2010
123
How can you take a man seriously when they use comic sans?
Jul 09th 2010
128
Gilbert is right in how he feels and wrong in how he wrote this letter
Jul 09th 2010
122
funny but wrong.
Jul 09th 2010
125
Shit looked like a Black Planet page.
Jul 09th 2010
130
hahaha
Jul 09th 2010
161
My only beef besides Comicfuckingsans: Lebron didn't "betray" anyone
Jul 09th 2010
131
the town that supported him since he was a kid & give him
Jul 09th 2010
132
      abandoned, but not betrayed
Jul 09th 2010
133
           ^^^^^^
Jul 09th 2010
137
oh if delonte was banging gloria, Danny G. is gon tell us!!!
Jul 09th 2010
134
The funny thing about this is he wanted Izzo to 'betray' MSU...
Jul 09th 2010
138
hahahaha, that is pretty funny i did not know he was a spartan
Jul 09th 2010
140
lol
Jul 09th 2010
142
Izzo was holding out on MSU as well...
Jul 09th 2010
145
      Yep, Gilberts Spartan card was burned up courting Izzo
Jul 09th 2010
158
lmao, I didn't know the MSU angle at all, that's great
Jul 09th 2010
143
Izzo won MSU a championship though, and had many final 4's.
Jul 09th 2010
149
      gave him the world? lmao, they lucked up and drafted Lebron James
Jul 09th 2010
162
"It's time for people to hold these athletes accountable
Jul 09th 2010
144
He probably wrote this with Birth Of A Nation on in the background
Jul 09th 2010
146
Van Pelt just tech countered:
Jul 09th 2010
147
Terrible move by DG, but how is Bron not even going to call him
Jul 09th 2010
150
look at that letter- you think dude wasn't gonna spoil the show?
Jul 09th 2010
153
what are you basing them having a good relationship on? this guy
Jul 09th 2010
163
      Or maybe Lebron was the asshole that DG tolerated for obv reasons
Jul 09th 2010
165
This guy is so hypocritical and full of shit.
Jul 09th 2010
154
Gibert extends his ether to Lebron's Fathead
Jul 09th 2010
155
wow, WAY too personal for this guy.
Jul 09th 2010
156
I don't see that as personal
Jul 09th 2010
159
Dude, not even the Elton Brand Clipper ones are going for that cheap...
Jul 10th 2010
171
      Yeah, ESPN pointed out the 1741 thing and I feel like an idiot
Jul 10th 2010
177
      what's the significance of 1741?
Jul 10th 2010
180
           It's Benedict Arnold's birth year.
Jul 10th 2010
182
      that kid's looking up at Elton thinking
Jul 10th 2010
185
           looks more like "I wish I could trade this fathead for a bag of dildos"
Jul 10th 2010
188
Fuuuuuck me. lol. Gilbert has totally lost it man, he's gone.
Jul 09th 2010
