Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert congratulates Miami, but doesn't mention LeBron

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- It took about five minutes for Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert to acknowledge the Miami Heat's NBA championship on Twitter Thursday night. But he still refused to mention LeBron James by name.

Sometime after the final buzzer sounded but before the championship trophy was presented to the Heat and the Finals MVP went to James, Gilbert tweeted, "Great NBA season. Enjoyed playoffs. Congratulations to Miami & OKC for an exciting Finals. Back to work on next weeks promising Cavs draft.''

Gilbert, of course, attacked James after the Akron native and St. Vincent St. Mary graduate bolted from Cleveland to Miami in 2010.

In part of his infamous letter -- in comic sans type -- to Cavaliers fans after The Decision aired on ESPN on July 8, 2010, Gilbert used capital letters to emphasize, "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.''

But the Cavs, winners of just a total of 40 games in the two seasons since James left, haven't been able to cash Gilbert's check yet.


He is getting ROASTED on Twitter..

LOL What does thet mean? Lebron never brought Bosh and/or Wade to Cleveland. I'm not saying Dan is right i'm just saying i'd be pissed too if I were in his shoes. I wouldn't even say Congrats to the Heat. I'd act like they didn't even exist.

Problem is nobody wants to come to that shitty ass city to play in the first place. Yall should be worshippin the ground dat nigga walk on for stayin in that dusty mufucka for 7 years while the best help yall could get the man was fuckin Verajow. One day yall love the nigga then the next yall dumbasses is burnin jerseys yall paid 3 weeks salary for. Dumbest shit I ever seen in my life.

Uh, no. Dan and the GM made those decisions by surrounding James with YMCA pick up players and players past their prime. He'd already given the Cavs an extension. What the fuck else y'all?

No, it's not the WAY he left, it's THAT he left. If he'd done the EXACT same thing, but decided to stay, you wouldn't have had a problem with "the way he did it."
