Dan Gilbert 273x214 Dan Gilbert is not letting LeBron James off the hook

To say that Dan Gilbert is an intense guy would be a severe understatement. The night LeBron James decided that he was taking his talents to South Beach, Gilbert famously wrote an email to fans letting them know that LeBron would rue the day he left Cleveland. He even hilariously typed out the entire thing in Comic Sans font.

Gilbert’s taken pot shots at the King here and there the last couple of months, but nothing overly serious, at least nothing anybody knew about.

But it appears Gilbert was mounting his offensive behind closed doors.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into a high-powered Midwestern law firm to investigate their suspicions that the Miami Heat broke NBA tampering rules while pursuing LeBron James(notes), and owner Dan Gilbert has privately vowed he won’t relent until he has a thick binder of findings to drop on the desk of the NBA commissioner, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

This reeks of serious butthurt from Dan Gilbert. We get it, LeBron is an enormous prick, probably as big a prick as any athlete in the history of sports. But he chose another team and both Gilbert and the city of Cleveland need to move on. They still have a basketball team and organization that is having mild success this year. In fact, if some cards fall in their favor, barring catastrophe, they will probably make the playoffs.

So let LeBron have it tomorrow. Boo the hell out of him, call him and his mama names if you want.

And then go back to caring about Cleveland Cavaliers basketball.
