He gave me everything I asked for - money, marketing, and more control over the roster than the GM... except for that which mattered most - his love. *sniff* All I ever wanted was for Mr. Gilbert to care about me. Excuse me, I need a moment. Oh no, don't turn away the cameras; this will look good. Could you... could you frame the picture so it looks like I'm gazing longingly at the Boys & Girls Club logo through teary eyes? That'd look sweet in a magazine.

When I read this, honest to Zeus, this was my first thought. Damnit, I've never participated in those OT Marriage threads before. But for the love of Odin...maybe I should ask Huzwog to marry me. We could make it work together. I'd sacrifice a lot for more posts like this. Jim Insane Thought Process
The only problem with that is the Cavs did nothing for LeBron
The Nike machine is what gave LeBron money and marketing
LeBron on the other hand made Dan Gilbert billions of dollars by multiplying the value of his franchise many times over and allowing him the money and clout to start his casino venture he's wanted. LeBron has also made everyone around the Cavs money by bringing in people every single night.
Dan Gilbert on the other hand isn't even from Ohio and doesn't have a decade of ownership with the Cavs under his belt
LeBron played under max money contracts in all of his years there. The Cavs offered him the largest contract that he could legally sign for under the current NBA collective bargaining agreement. They offered him the most money possible during his free agency. Not to mention the fact that his closest friends received jobs within the organization along with a lithany of other perks.
Heck, they even built a new training facility closer to LeBron's house so he wouldn't be inconvenienced with a too long drive. The guy had a say in almost every personnel decsionthat ever came up since he was acquired. He had the winningest team in the NBA for the last 2 seasons. There was no excuse for him to not lead his team to the Finals in at least one of those years.
Between constatnlyreferring to himself in the third person and laying a big one on the city that loved him to death, he reaveled himself to be the biggest douche in all of NBA, and quite possibly all of sports.
