Dan Gilbert: The Letter That Saved Lebron

2010 July 9
by admin

Are you firkin kidding me Dan Gibert?

“I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE” - Jilted ex-employer of Lebron James, Dan Gilbert

I can’t imagine you are reading this and don’t know about the letter Gilbert wrote to Cavalier fans after Lebron announced he would be going to Miami so I won’t go over that.  But I want to mention my thoughts about how it went down.

I went from not caring who Lebron played with, being annoyed at the coverage, losing respect for Lebron, and finally shock at Dan Gilbert and understanding from Lebron.  Dan Gilbert comes off like a jilted lover on The Bachelor. You thought everything was fine but when wronged the gloves come off, all in Comic Sans font and punctuation worse than mine. Heck, it was so sad that many questioned if it was a real letter or a hack.

At the beginning of the letter I understood Gilbert’s rage but as it went on I knew the guy had just lost it.  It just sounds like a messy divorce.

“He has gotten a free pass,” Gilbert said. “People have covered up for (James) for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is.”

“I want you, I want you! Oh, you’re leaving meee?  I never wanted you. You’re pathetic….please come back.” In the letter Dan Gilbert points out places where he think Lebron tanked playoff games.  Then why do you want him?  Especially if you think you can win a championship without him, why not dump his ass on July 1st and sign someone else?

Maybe this is why Lebron left. What I do know is that I wouldn’t want to work for someone so crazy.  Rarely does someone write something without some kind of editing. What’s the chances that this was a toned down version of what Gilbert really wanted to say?

We’ve all had that friend that got out of a “perfect” relationship and wondered why.  Then we saw what was going on and understood.  That’s what I get from Dan Gilbert’s letter. Maybe Dan Gilbert should check out a book written by another Dan Gilbert, “Stumbling Upon Happiness.”

A few months ago I heard of a scenario that put Lebron and Wade, and possibly another star, in New York. They would have to make less than the max which is rare and it’s why I didn’t believe it could happen.  I thought it would be great and a fine example to the youth that money isn’t everything, though they make boatloads still, and it is about team and winning.

Lebron is doing what most of want to and should do.  Work at what we enjoy doing and do it with people we like. I hope Lebron has fun and that Cleveland fans can get past it.

Notes:

Lebron Cav’s Fathead Wall Sticker is marked down from $99.99 to $17.41. For the now history buffs, like me, 1741 is the year Benedict Arnold was born. Snap! (Update: I just read that Dan Gilbert is the owner of Fathead)

The Cleveland Plain Dealer gets snippy on their front page.
