Cavs owner: LeBron quit during playoffs


CLEVELAND -- Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert says LeBron James "quit" during the playoffs and should be accountable for his actions.

Gilbert, who posted a letter to Cavs fans on the team's website shortly after James announced he plans to sign with Miami, tells The Associated Press late Thursday night that he feels "personally betrayed" by James and that it's "accountability time."

In a phone interview with the AP, Gilbert says "people have covered up for [James] for way too long. Tonight we saw who he really is."

Gilbert says James quit on the Cavs during their second-round series against the Boston Celtics, who rallied from a 2-1 deficit to eliminate Cleveland.

i can understand him being pissed, but this is pretty spineless... why is he waiting until now to talk about him quitting in the playoffs? and if he thinks Lebron quit, why did they want him back?

shows a lack of integrity...

Everyone knows he quit after he figured out his team would not beat Boston. He was long gone before he was gone.
Good freaking riddance -- get ready for a three-ring circus in Miami. Or will it be a one-ring circus?
