You may or may not agree with Cleveland Cavilers owner Dan Gilbert’s statements concerning LeBron James’ departure from Cleveland, but one thing is for sure:  you’ve never seen anything like it.

After James announced he’d leave Cleveland to join the Miami Heat via “The Decision,” Gilbert wrote a stinging letter on calling James “narcissistic” and said his exit was a “shameful display of selfishness and betrayal.”  For his ripping note, Gilbert was fined $100,000 by NBA commissioner David Stern for being a “little bit extreme.”  Stern also was mildly displeased, but not so much as angry, but sort of annoyed, but not enough to act about ESPN’s production of “The Decision.”

Reverend Jesse Jackson said Gilbert seemed like a slave owner, angry that his slave had escaped.  Gilbert said, nuh uh.  Fans side with Gilbert, I guess.  Gilbert continues to choose comic sans.  LeBron reacts by “taking the high road.”

Oh, and then there’s the collusion that wasn’t.

But you aren’t done until Big Z has spoken.  That’s right, Ilgauskas plans to sign with the Heat.  Coming soon:  an open letter to Z and $100,000 fine for Gilbert.

Ousted GM Danny Ferry interviewing for the Nets, probably feels better about being out of Cleveland.
