Cavalier owner fined $100,000 for LeBron James comments

Any pro basketball team owner would have been really ticked at the way LeBron James handled the announcement of his move to the Miami Heat team at the end of his free agency.

However, few would have reacted as Cavalier owner Dan Gilbert did.

Not only did Dan Gilbert (upper photo) Cleveland Cavalier basketball team majority owner post a rant about LeBron James (lower photo) on his NBA website, he used the cutesy Comic Sans font.

The choice of fonts added to the caustic content as Comic Sans is probably the worst font ever to grace a computer screen.

Comic Sans is used by fourth-graders, authors of comic books and hardly anyone else. There surely was a special message to LeBron in the choice of fonts.

The letter can be found at the second link below (unless the NBA has forced Dan Gilbert to remove the posting). The letter is shown here in part:

As you now know, our former hero, who grew up in the very region that he deserted this evening, is no longer a Cleveland Cavalier.

This was announced with a several day, narcissistic, self-promotional build-up culminating with a national TV special of his "decision" unlike anything ever "witnessed" in the history of sports and probably the history of entertainment.

The letter refers to the actions of former Cleveland Cavalier basketball player LeBron James.

While the letter is truthful, it is no doubt the most expensive letter ever written by Dan Gilbert.
