Sports Quote of the Day

From Cleveland Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert, reacting in an open letter to Cleveland fans to the news his biggest star is headed to Miami:

You simply don't deserve this kind of cowardly betrayal.

You have given so much and deserve so much more.

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER ‘KING’ WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

Uhhh...probably not.

I think this decision was more about taxes than teammates. By leaving Cleveland and choosing Miami James saves $5 million in taxes over what he would have made staying in Cleveland, and $12.5 million over what he would have made in New York.
