LeBron to Miami: Owner Reaction
As all of you I’m sure have heard by now, “King James” is heading down to South Beach and I can’t say that I blame him. What he did takes a lot of guts, to leave his home town and life-long friends and family to go take a viable shot at winning an NBA title.
Many people will criticize him and say how he abandoned his hometown and bla bla bla. He set himself up for this very moment when he signed his previous short term deal to give him “options” if things were not going as planned in Cleveland. People love to criticize sports stars and say how they are all about the money and then you find arguably the best player in his sport during his prime sacrificing millions to play for a ring and still people criticize.
He owes nothing to Cleveland
He played there for 7 quality years, won 2 MVP’s, took them to the finals and the best record in the league twice and basically revived one of the worst franchises in basketball by himself. After all of that, do you think his owner is appreciative? Have a look at this letter drafted by the bitter Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert showing absolutely zero class as not only a business man but as a person.
In the letter
He goes into saying how LeBron is deserting Cleveland and it is “such a cowardly betrayal” and how he vows to work harder than ever now to bring a Championship to Cleveland. Too bad he didn’t possess that attitude in the prior years or there would be no question in LeBron’s mind where he would be resigning. By signing washed-up players like Ben Wallace and Shaq who Phoenix Suns fans know first hand does nothing for a team other than run hard down the court after his 1 good play of the game and promise things he can’t deliver on any longer, Dan Gilbert dropped the ball over the past few years and the only savior there, Danny Ferry, is no longer with the team either so championship hopes in Cleveland will soon turn to playoff hopes.
In closing, I can’t wait to see what happens in Miami and it should be a very entertaining season if nothing else and Mario Chalmers don’t make LeBron pay you to wear number 6, he will already be roughing it after his latest pay cut.
