LeBron James chokes in the NBA Finals. You couldn’t have written a better script for Cleveland fans who were punked by this jerk with The Decision. Karma is a bitch!
Category: Cleveland Cavaliers (Page 7 of 88)
In one sense you have to give LeBron James credit. He can’t win a championship as the leader of a team, because he’s not a killer like Micheal Jordan or Kobe Bryant. So not only did he go down to Miami to be a supporting player on Dwyane Wade’s team, he’s now embracing the role of being the clear #2 on this team.
For that reason, Miami looks pretty tough right now, and the nightmare scenario for Cleveland fans might play out this year with LeBron getting his ring. The Celtics look old, Chicago doesn’t look dominant and Rose has a bad ankle, and who knows what’s going on out west. Miami might actually have a pretty easy road to a championship.
We’ll see. Hopefully Boston will get its act together tonight on game 2.
That said, LeBron is a very tough player when he can play in a supporting role to a superstar like Wade, so the Heat look very tough at the moment.
LeBron’s latest, pathetic display of stupidity involves a Twitter war he had with Daniel Gibson. Gibson made some silly comments after his birthday party, and of course the petulant LeBron had to respond.
This guy is so immature it’s mind-boggling. Meanwhile, he managed to choke again down the stretch as the Heat lost to Carmelo and the Knicks. Things don’t look very good for LeBron and his Heat teammates.
The Axis of Ego – get used to that name. It’s one of the many nicknames you’ll be hearing about the three players who think they’ll just waltz to a bunch of NBA championships.
We now know that LeBron is great at talking about himself, talking up what he claims he will do, and then dancing around like a fool. He did all of those in a spectacle last night in Miami. He was dumb enough to imply seven NBA championships, and you could see pained looked on the faces of Dwyane Wade and Pat Riley as he made that idiotic statement. Let’s see how The Court Jester performs in crunch time.
Meanwhile, the Cavs completed a sign-and-trade with Miami to get a load of draft picks for LeBron. They will get some grief in some circles, but it was the right business move.
UPDATE: Bill Simmons has hilarious tweet about the event.
“They should have had LeBron quit 2/3rds of the way through this Heat celebration – it could have been like the Boston series.”
Good for him . . . (via Cavs.com)
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
As Jason Whitlock said on Twitter, Dan Gilbert knows where the bodies are buried, and LeBron and his posse messed with the wrong billionaire.
Expect to hear much more about LeBron’s game 5 meltdown, and all the drama from behind the scenes. Gilbert knows LeBron wants to be a “global icon.” LeBron has already diminished his brand, and it looks like Gilbert is determined to expose the real LeBron to the rest of the world.
