Lebron hatred

Before I get called a bandwagoner, I have hated Lebron for a LONG time. I've always known he was a self centered douche who cared more about his own self promotion than anything else. He's the only person in the history of sports who has considered himself the greatest before he even won a championship. Sure he was great during the regular season, but if you can't close it in the playoffs you're not worth shit. Sweet maybe you can use a picture of you posterizing some nobody in place of a picture of you raising the NBA Championship trophy as your legacy.

Anyway as of 9:30 last night, after Lebron had held a special on ESPN like the true piece of egotistical shit he is the proverbial shit has officially hit the fan. Dan Gilbert has been tweeting his cock off about his hatred for LBJ and says he is about to unload an f-word load of garbage that cleveland had been covering up. I hope that he never wins a championship and wallows in his misery til the day he dies.


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

UPDATE -
LeBron James “quit during the playoffs and should be accountable for his actions. He feels “personally betrayed” by James and that it’s “accountability time.” In a phone interview with the AP, Gilbert says “people have covered up for [James] for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is.”

I must say that basketball is not my favorite sport, and LeBron is certainly not a favorite of mine(but he is athletic as fuck) but there is one thing that bothers me.

The way the Cavs owner worded the letter was childish to say the least. Clearly he is just bitter and unable to admit that it's the Cavs front office fault for failing to put together a championship TEAM in SEVEN years.

It's a business, and the Cavs didn't have the stuff to make LeBron want to stay. GO LAKERS!
