"We drafted Anthony Bennett. OOPS!" LMFAOOOLO
Let's Be clear Lebron Hates Dan Gilbert But his love for Cleveland trumps it
True!
dan gibert needs to make a public apology to lebron
he has already, but still not enough
+Ricky T.P.B when post a fucking letter hold a new conference lebron has made him and clevland so much money
SHEEM there should of been some type of public humiliation of Gilbert, Maybe kiss The King's feet on live TV or something.
+Ricky T.P.B he owes the franchise to lebron 7yrs top of the map leaves for 4yrs garbage city lost money he lost money got kyrie for him leaving then comes bk makes dan 500 million plus
Gilber refers to the coach Tyronn Lue as: this guy numerous times in an interview. At the trophy acceptance he's got his kids front row and center with the Trophy LEBRON and crew won. He thanks the FRONT Office before he thanks the soldiers in his camp who won the championship - he thanks them as LeBron James and the Cavaliers. WOW, no time to say the names individually. LeBron took that trophy away from him, not a moment too soon actually--- and rightly so. (And frankly, I'm personally looking forward to seeing the deal James' structures with that franchise b/c they need to PAY. And not --- any 30 million either. Hear me now!)
Lol nobody can complain if he leaves. He shouldnt have came back anyway. Burning jerseys? Rioting? Cringe.
The crazy thing is Gilbert could have spent the money he's spending now during Lebron's first run.
He did… the Cavs got Irving and Tristan from the draft.
+jonathan thomas that was after he left
There were no rioting, only one group friends burn several jerseys. You guys are so programmed by the media with images so easy. Almost like a sheep.
+FT Video a cleveland fan ate horse shit. Why are you even talking rn.
every word that comes out of this mans mouth is pure facts bruh!
so true,been a fan since i first heard him on the radio.
i live colin
It's funny because I sitting here going thru his videos thinking, this guy makes some great points
I love that man
Respect to Colin for bringing it up 💯
I think Dan Gilbert should have owned up to the letter and apologized to Lebron on the stop about it when Doris Burke brought up the letter. Lebron could have easily kept winning rings elsewhere but he came back for the city. Plus the Cavs never built him a team built to win a finals. Of course he was gonna leave, so why get mad when he did? It would be like the Lakers blasting Howard and Gasol for leaving, they caused it. I would not have anything against Lebron if he leaves again.
The Cavs were too good when LeBron was playing here the first time. They got Irving and Thompson in the draft.
FT Video The cavs got those two after he left.
Yes… I know. The good them in the high draft.
FT Video The cavs weren't good then. They were a scrub team with a Legend in Lebron James. After Lebron left, they went from the best team in the east, to the worst team in the whole NBA.
Anybody who gets angry at another Lebron departure, remember how you felt when your contract expires at your job and you decided to move on...
I think people forget how they got treated.
I astutely was pointing out the same last night. Case in point, LeBron screams out "everybody off the stage, team photo!" Players, coaches, trainers etc. join in, and in the top corner to LeBron's left and above him, Gilbert sneaks in. LeBron immediately, as if he could sense it, looks over his left shoulder, upwards, and sees Gilbert. His whole facial perception changed immediately, to the point that he caught himself, knowing cameras are lurking. Definitely is not over the Gilbert fiasco, and he may leave due to it.
He came back to prove the people wrong and win a chip in Cleveland. Now that he's done it, he will leave Cleveland.... If I was lebron I would join the clippers.....or the lakers depending who they pick up for the starting line up.knowing lebron he's probably trying to resurrect a team from the brink in order to further advance his legacy
+nellymacc91 hea pretty much free to go wherever now like you mentioned.
If he goes to ny or la. Good on him
Gilbert also avoided questions about the letter like a plague and the way LeBron took the championship from Gilbert's family made me believe that they have a working relationship & that's it. Seems like Gilbert wants the world to forget how he acted towards LeBron and it seems like LeBron wants Gilbert to know that he is the LAST person that he wants to win a title for. This title was for Cleveland, not him.
+X X lol but at the end of the day it is for Gilbert..... He works for Gilbert.... But the king is going make his wrath felt....
It was Gilbert's personnel that drafted Kyrie Irving, and trade for JR Smith, Love, and the supporting cast. Without Gilbert's decision making, Lebron would have had no title contender to return back to.
Lebron did it for OHIO ... now he should go to the Lakers
He did go lol
You're a smart person.
Props to Colin for reminding people, they loving him now but lets not forget the Jersey Burning and the Dan Gilbert Letter. Those are not the people who deserve that title! Wasn't any interaction between LeBron and Gilbert after they won and I don't blame LeBron one bit, he stayed far away from Dan Gilbert lol
Gilbert is full of it......he kept that letter up for years.....he meant everything he said......he was mad his cash cow left for Miami.....that is all Lebron is to him....
Yes Gilbert did mean every word of it. Has the thought crossed any sports writers mind yet, that he might have been right. One thing I can't help but notice is that Le Bron knew that letter was up for 4 years and still called Dan Gilbert to work out a way to return to Cleveland, not the other way around. It was petty as shit to write and leave that letter on the site for all that time, but just because it was classless doesn't automaticly make it untrue.
DeVante Smith So it's true that he was a coward and that he just gave up and quit it's true that dan Gilbert would win a chip before the so called self proclaimed king would ever get one
The fact that he went back to Cleveland after what Gilbert wrote made me have even more respect for Lebron and the fact that gilbert NEVER publicly apologized, shows what a petty, entitled COWARD he is. I get it that feelings were hurt, but to go out and publicly EVISERATE a person's CHARACTER??? LeBron is a better person that I because I would have NEVER even THOUGHT about going back. I think some owners like Gilbert forget that they only OWN the Franchise not the PLAYER!!
Great points, Colin.
this is why I love colin this whole show was awesome and he is the only person who brung this up and what dan gibert said was crazy
Anthony Bennet lol...
this guy be speaking the truth
Majority (not all, but a good 80%) of Cleveland fans cheering and celebrating are the same people who burned his jerseys. Not loyal fans.
We are loyal fans to the team not a player. He didn't play for us anymore. We could do whatever we wanted with our property. If we choose to burn, bury, rip or wear it, it was our choice.
***** First I didn't burn his jersey! Other fan bases have also burned player's jersey's once they left. There are immature fans of everything. But after I pay 60 plus dollars for something I'm not going to ruin it.
I didn't have a jersey to burn, but if I did have a jersey I would've sold it on EBay or something. Plus, there were some Heat fans that burned his jersey too when he left Miami, there are videos of it here on UA-cam.
Man they tortured the shit out of lebron, burning jerseys, threatening to come to his house, and publicly disrespecting him put Cleveland in a bad spot. Lebron literally had the keys to that franchise and I wouldn't be surprised if he left this year or next year
It was because he publicly made that Decision thing to leave the city. Players rarely ever participate in a televised stage event like that.
HE GOT 1 MIL $ FOR IT FROM ESPN... AND HE DONATE THAT
WHAT A BAD MAN
M. a nigga please, $1 million may mean a lot to you but it's only nickels and dimes to him.

Nothing is for free son, you don't give without getting. If you don't understand it then you just don't understand it.
*i personally guarantee that the cleveland cavaliers will win an NBA CHAMPIONSHIP before the self-titled former 'king' wins one"*
- dan gilbert, 2010
So true! But LeBron isn't leaving now
Look i am married ..pause.. everybody makes mistakes ... realizes... "if i am in bed ..." .. woooh what a save!
I think he'll retire with the cavs but if he do leave I think back to Miami is where he'll go
he is not even there anymore...
I think it'd be awesome with the power LeBron has in Cleveland now if he leveraged him coming back to Cleveland, but Dan Gilbert has to step down as primary owner....LeBron wins either way he can leave and no one blames him (Dan Gilbert's the stubborn owner who thinks he's bigger than Cleveland) or he gets to stay home and can have retribution towards Gilbert for writing that letter
This is why you should never own a team. If you think Lebron James has the leverage to force someone to give up a billion dollar investment you don't understand how money works.
Did you read that letter Gilbert wrote? Plus it was millions invested not a billion, and because of LeBron he could sell for way more than he paid....that's how business works
I read the letter. I'm a Cavs fan my whole life. Dan Gilbert has an asset that is gaining in value. As much as we fans love what Labron has done for us, we are still a lot more worried about the wrong person owning our team and moving it. We know he isn't going to do that so I and many others I know of would back Gilbert in that power play.
Without Lebron, Cleveland would still be without a Championship(IN ALL SPORTS). So pipe down Ma'am, don't bite the Hand that fed you. Go ahead and back Gilbert, you all will be crying for Lebron to come back within a month into next season. #Karma
Dan Gilbert singlehandedly ruined the first seven years of Lebron’s career and wasted 4 years of his prime
He did it on purpose he’s from michigan bro. He’s the biggest loser in sports history
I think that letter will forever haunt Dan. LeBron came back because he wanted to win one for Cleveland and he did that and he could leave. That letter Gilbert wrote was all put disrespectful. LeBron was a free agent and nobody wanted to come to Cleveland so he did the right thing and left. I applaud LeBron for being the bigger person and doing something that was bigger than Gilbert. That is something that LeBron and his buddies won't forget. I hope he stays because that team has a chance to go back to back but if he leaves I won't be mad and I will completely understand.
THIS MAN SPEAK THE TRUE EVERY TIME
This deal about Dan Gilbert ripping LeBron in this letter was wrong I believe is false. We have lamented players leaving their ball clubs forever and certainly been vocal about it. Dan Gilbert believed there was a lack of loyalty and publically mentioned this. His right. We were not in their meetings together. Who knows what was said?
Cleveland fans do not deserve a player like Lebron just saying
The "Letter" as it's now known had the strong overtones of a Slave Master mad that his slave had the nerve to fight for his freedom and win it. Yes, LeBron's handling of the decision was wrong. Yes he owed the players, coaches and owners a heads up, even if minutes before announcing it himself. No, he shouldn't have done a TV special. Make an announcement and move on. But, he was a free agent. For the 1st time in his career, he controlled his own destiny and chose where he wanted to go. He earned that. Dan Gilbert will never live that letter down, partly because of the tone of it. He didn't thank LeBron for his 7 years and wish that things could've gone better. He didn't thank him for making millions of dollars and being a beacon for the youth in Cleveland and Akron. He trashed him, his friends, his fans, and wished doom and gloom on the rest of his career. If I'm LeBron, I never speak to Dan Gilbert again. You wanna talk to me? Talk to my agent.
This dude talks as if he KNOWS LeBron....smh
fyi....LeBron is NOT GOING ANYWHERE OK!
+Maphack Dude that's exactly what I was thinking😂
You are a clown... Kyrie Irving will be the biggest NBA star coming out next series. LeBron is not leaving that talent.
Their is no one including Curry has that skills set. Curry can only shoot but Irving can score in so many ways.
he has to leave right? i think he jumps ship. i have no doubt in my mind that lebron will win another ring for another franchise.
naw i was thinking he might come back down here to dade county but now i think he just might stay
I honestly cant see him coming back to Miami especially after winning a championship for Cleveland. But Ill take it if he comes back though lol
he's 31 years old......he just has a few years before he retires
Benjamin X I think he is still in his prime
he might go back to miami but i don't think he will because it is highly speculated that Pat Riley was one of the people that told him that leaving miami would be his biggest mistake. i think he will try to win another championship with different team but probably not miami
They burnt the jersey because he embarrassed them on live tv. Come on, you're supposed to be good at this stuff. I have listened to his mantra and the way he talks, he said .he was going to return to Cleveland to finish his career, why do people think he's lying? The dude is a bigger man than Gilbert, he's the King of Cleveland and Ohio, he's back home, he's not leaving now
colin is trying to draw attention to himself. because everyone knows he loves lebron...now he is trying to throw shade at people to make him leave
No he's just being real
at times he is bias af but he is speaking the truth
+Christian 0000 but hey i still respect him though. good topic to bring up.
colin is talking real shit dan gilbert shitted on LeBron he was in clevland 7yrs took one of the worst teams to the finals never got him help he leaves goes to the heat 4yrs there finals every yr come back to cavs makes dan rich the city million and what happens back in the finals dan gilbert said mad crazy stuf he owes everything to LeBron that's how they got number 1 picks for 4years straight cause they was garbage go read that letter
SHEEM facts, Gilbert has done nothing for LeBron couldn't even get him an average team
better than iverson now
Been better than Iverson
Lebron about care about Money and self proclaiming he is the greatest ever. He will leave in year to create mini all stall team to try and catch Jordan. Jordan and NBA at that time took pride in competition, not joining forces to win. They had their team with some great players. They built to team through hard working and changing small pieces to the pie. If Larry Bird called up Jordan at the end of the career to chase a final ring, he would be blasted forever for it. There is no drive fro true competition. The golden state warriors were built they teams should, through the draft and bench in free angency
The warriors are much more of a super team then Cleveland is. Warriors have 3 stars, Cleveland is all LeBron and Kyrie
+Michael Parisi they aren't a super team. Where'd you get that from. They built that team through the draft and free agency acquisitions....
Wrong... Warriors have 3 good players. But Cleveland has two superstar players and one good player in Tristan Thompson the best offensive rebounder in the league. And, I hate to say' if Irving was healthy last year the Cavs would have won that series. This is the second time the Warriors face Cleveland and both of their 2 top players choked.
It's funny Colin uploaded this video with the LJ better than MJ video. Colin I used to watch you on ESPN, go back to being open minded and not biased ok.
Jordan
The greatest shoe brand ever
Made a successful movie
Owned a restaurant
Owns a nba team
6-0 in the finals
HARDLY EVER IN THE MEDIA
Never jumped ship to win rings with other teams.
lol there was no media. Jordan was winning in the early mid-90s. No internet, no social media.
+Aaron Neph Jr. Oh I'm sorry for staring fact. If LJ wants to better than MJ he gotta up do what MJ has done.
+Aaron Neph Jr. Also MJ was the Wizards gm n was still playing.
Gotta love the dickriders today lol. Keep msking excuses please it's funny af.
I rather lose till I get a real team around me instead of jumping ship only to return. Fuck that noise. I'm loyal n I see you fools aren't. Smh
