Post LeBron Cleveland

Fact: I feel bad for Cleveland. As an Ohio native I fully understand what the impact of his leaving will have not only on the sports side of things but also the cities economy.

Fact: I think it is incredible that Lebron, Bosh and Wade are teaming up its like an All-star team. Let's just hope they can find someone else to be on that roster. It's tough to play with only four guys.

Fact: Dan Gilbert, though acting a tad childish, is awesomely hilarious and I can totally respect sense of humor and his honest opinion of the situation. About time someone said what they really feel.

Some of my favorite Dan Gilbert quotes. Enjoy...

"He has gotten a free pass," Gilbert said in a phone interview with The AP. "People have covered up for [James] for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is."

"He quit," Gilbert said. "Not just in Game 5, but in Games 2, 4 and 6. Watch the tape. The Boston series was unlike anything in the history of sports for a superstar."

Gilbert also said he believes James quit on the Cavs in Game 6 of their series in 2009 against Orlando. "Go back and look at the tape," he said. "How many shots did he take?"

"LeBron James needs to go to another team with two superstars already so he can win a championship," Gilbert said. "We will win a championship before [the Heat] do."

"It's not about him leaving," Gilbert said. "It's the disrespect. It's time for people to hold these athletes accountable for their actions. Is this the way you raise your children? I've been holding this all in for a long time.

In the letter posted on the Cavaliers' website, Gilbert called the process on James' free agency "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."

To top it all off, Gilbert, the money behind Fathead is selling Lebron James Fatheads on clearance for $17.41 down from $99.
