LeBron James v. Dan Gilbert
The world stopped last night as two-time MVP LeBron James announced that he was leaving his home, where he spent his entire life, to play ball in South Beach. LeBron James will be playing alongside Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh for the Miami Heat. All day long the speculation was correct, LeBron James has left the Clevland Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat.
But, the big question we have is why was Kanye West with Lebron James last night? Can anybody explain this picture? The city of Cleveland is burning this guy’s Jersey right now and he taking pictures with Kanye West?
The same can’t be said for Dan Gilbert, the Cleveland Cavaliers Owner, who is steaming mad. The Cavs owner slams his one time Cleveland hero, LeBron James in an open letter to Cavs fans.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:[pagebreak] ‘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 unfortun
