Cavs fans back owner on LeBron letter
Associated Press
CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert has more fans and friends than he ever knew.
His emotional, controversial letter criticizing LeBron James for leaving to join Miami spawned an outpouring of fan support for Gilbert. A team spokesman said the team has received thousands of e-mails and phone calls, including some from fans offering to help Gilbert pay a $100,000 NBA-imposed fine.
“
Last week, Gilbert fired off his incendiary letter, ripping James' decision as "a shameful display of selfishness and betrayal." He called the MVP "narcissistic" and "self-promotional" and vowed that his Cavaliers would win a championship before "the self-titled former king."
Apparently, the message was just what the spurned fans of Cleveland wanted to hear.
Commissioner David Stern wasn't as pleased.
He fined Gilbert on Monday, calling the letter and comments Gilbert later made in an interview with The Associated Press that he felt James quit in the playoffs the past two seasons "a little extreme."
On Tuesday, some Cleveland fans offered to pitch in to help Gilbert pay the penalty. Gilbert issued a statement of thanks.
"The humbling offer by so many is another reflection of the strength of Cavs fans and the people who live and work in this region and are always the first to step up and have each other's back," Gilbert said. "I will pay this fine myself, but would be grateful and highly appreciative for any fan who redirects the dollars they kindly offered to contribute towards this fine to the Cavaliers Youth Fund, which will positively impact our region's kids through the numerous local charitable groups the Cavaliers Youth Fund supports."

Did you hear what Mike Trivisonno had to say about LeButthead?

I know that Triv is no LeBron fan...what did he say now?
isiahthomas 07-17-2010, 11:29 AM I don't think Dan Gilbert should've been fined for speaking his mind about that fa*got Lebron James. David Stern is a fa*got. I thought people were allowed to have freedom of speech?
MrCleveland 07-20-2010, 03:58 PM I know that Triv is no LeBron fan...what did he say now?
When The Cavs play against Miami in Cleveland, we shouldn't even go to the game or watch the game and see what happens.
But...we should see the other games.
isiahthomas 07-23-2010, 02:51 PM I wanna apologize again for dissing Lebron calling him a fa*got. I wish him the best in Miami. I'm grateful for the 7 years he stayed in Cleveland and he made them a contender for several years. He even got them to the finals 3 years ago. I wish they could've won the championship against the Spurs but it didn't happen. Lebron isn't selfish at all and he's a team player. I'm sorry for calling him selfish. He took a pay cut to get with Miami. So that tells me he really wants to win some championships bad.

Good thinking. :nod: :cool: :D
isiahthomas 09-18-2010, 11:33 AM I take back what i said about Lebron. He is a fa*got LOL. I'm still upset with him for leaving Cleveland because he had a very good chance at winning some championships with Cleveland because they had a good team the last few years. The east is still weak and there aren't that many good teams in the east. So if he would've stayed with Cleveland, the Cavs would've definitely won some championships. He's too impatient. It's sad to see how the team has gone down since he left. Byron Scott is a better coach than Mike Brown and i believe if Lebron would've stayed, Delonte West might've stayed and the Cavs could've gotten a couple more good players to be able to have them get some championships. Lebron made a terrible decision and he's gonna regret it especially if Miami doesn't win some championships.

Many Basketball Legends such as MJ and Charles Barkley agree with you. This is why LeButthead's the 6th most hated Sports Celebrity out there now...and I'm ashamed that he shared the same state with me!
