*cough*
They all look like real pieces of work.
LeBron: The idiotic TV special and not giving Cavs prior notice. However, he wanted to move on and got what he wanted. Looks like Heat are assembling enough of a supporting cast to get to the promised land.
Gilbert: Crawling into the gutter with his sniping sour grapes
Jackson: A real race baiting dipstick. He is becoming irrelevant.
Considering all of this, the real loser is Gilbert--$100,000 fine--ouch!

See how Dan Gilbert is worth about 1.1 bil, 100,000 is only 1/10 of 1/10 of 1% of net worth, think he can afford it.
All three are came off looking like losers in my book.
Lebron said he did the event for charity, but the 10 million viewers is what he was after. Advanced notice to the Cavs would have been nice, but not making a huge spectacle of leaving Cleveland would have been best.
Gilbert needs to not use Comic Sans, and I have to believe he really hurt his chances of ever getting another super-star to consider Cleveland. Much of what he said is how I feel about Labron (with very little knowledge of the guy), so it was interesting to hear him say it as well.
Jesse Jackson - I don't see Gilbert handling this any different under the exact same situation if Labron was white.

Thank you--I stand corrected. Although in some circles he is still well respected--especially when he spoke into a live mike that he would like to cut Obama's nuts off. However, I think Jesse would be too late. Michelle already has.

Until I see a birth certificate I'm not convinced he ever had a pair!
