Good points...
You're right, my mistake, Gilbert is the owner.
True, it's rare to see an owner talk with that much zeal. Sure, Mark Cuban opens his big yapper on a weekly basis, but you're right, owners generally play it safe.
I have lost respect for LeBron - not for his decision (I thought either Miami or Chicago were the best options), but for his press conference.
On the rumor about James' mom....could be true. Some people get distracted by news like that, and others use the anger to play better.
I have been netrual on the Miami Heat for a long time - I'm now rooting against them. I'd love to see the Chicago Bulls go on a run next year.
