The People of Cleveland’s Response To Nike & LeBron’s “Rise” Commercial

Hilarity ensues…Everyone from South Park to random Cleveland citizens are taking shots at LeBron!

Dan Gilbert Calls LeBron James An A-Hole

The Cleveland Cavalier’s owner Dan Gilbert is still salty that his prized possession King James left blue collar Ohio for sandy and sunny beaches in Miami.  Last night, Gilbert hit up his Twitter and called LeBron an “A-Hole”.  Dude needs to let bygones be bygones by now and realize LeBron James is no longer a Cavalier and is REALLY a Miami Heat.

LeBron James Writes A Letter In The Akron Beacon Journal

King James followed in Big Z’s footsteps and wrote a letter to the city of Cleveland Akron letting them know that he’ll always rep Akron ’till the day he dies.  I like how LeBron schemed his letter and never actually mentioned Cleveland or the Cavaliers and specifically placed this ad in the Akron Beacon Journal rather than the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper.

Big Z’s Letter To Cleveland

What’s up with the city of Cleveland and letters lately?  Oh yeah, LeBron James left town…Maybe he should write them a letter?  Anyways, here’s Zydrunas “Big Z” Ilgauskas’ letter to the city of Cleveland and the fans of the Cavaliers.  I wonder if Dan Gilbert and him will be pen pals.  Click the image too see the full size if you’re bad vision can read it at the posted size.

Guy In LeBron Heat Jersey Gets Kicked Out Of Indians Game

This kid pictured above made the mistake of wearing his LeBron James Miami Heat jersey to a Cleveland Indians game last night against the Yankees. Apparently he started confrontation by heckling the crowd, but the Cleveland fans went right back at him with verbal abuse including chanting “throw him out” and their wish came true. He doesn’t seem too bothered about it, but it makes you feel bad for Cleveland fans (every sport). Oh, and the Indians lost 8-0!

Dan Gilbert’s Open Letter To LeBron James & Cavalier’s Fans

For those of you who aren’t NBA fans – Dan Gilbert is the majority owner of the Cleveland LeBrons Cavaliers.  He is a little salty after @KingJames broke the heart of Cleveland sport’s fans.  Want to see how mad he is?  Just read his open letter to the city and LeBron below:

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….

LeBron James Agrees To Join The Miami Heat

The former Cleveland Cavalier and two time MVP mistakenly known as “The King,” held a press conference 9 p.m. Eastern to clear up his free agent soap opera. After the beginning dragged out and had a few long commercial breaks, James broke his silence. It had seemed like the only teams that had a shot at him was the Knicks, Nets, Bulls, Heat and Cavaliers. Each team had a plus and a flaw but we all felt like it was between New York and Miami. LeBron decided after a long process to join the Miami Heat with friends Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. Wether you cared or not one things for sure, the face of the NBA has completely changed and the balance has been thrown off. Cleveland fans are left with bitter memories and a few playoff series wins.  Hit the jump for a video of one reaction from a Cleveland fan – burn baby burn!

LeBron James’ Billboard From Cleveland Cavaliers’ Fans

Remember those Minnesota Vikings’ fans who dedicated not one, but two billboards to persuade Brett Favre to stay in purple in gold.  Well imagine how Cleveland Cavaliers’ fans are feeling.  Here’s just one of many billboards that I’m sure will be popping up around the city in the next couple of months.
