We all cheered the Mavs winning for a lot of reasons, no doubt Lebron losing was one of them for most fans. But let's remember, when was the last time an NBA season and playoffs were so important to casual sports fans? Last year there was a game seven between the two most storied franchises in the league, and there was less excitement than there was for the 2011 Finals. No matter how many fantasy teams you have, the reality is that this is entertainment, and for entertainment to be most exciting there must be a great villain, so say what you will about Lebron and his team, but I'll be thanking them for making this NBA season so exciting, and for making my friends and family watch and discuss basketball, you see the NBA is back, and whether you like it or not Lebron's villainous turn has helped bring it there.
Dan Gilbert (Cavs Owner) tweeting that there are "no shortcuts" in response to the Heat losing, is just another example of how classless he is, I can see why he didn't get a courtesy call from Lebron before "The Decision". Also...what shortcut? Is being a free agent and going to a new team a shortcut? It's not like the Heat even have as high of a payroll as the 2nd highest team on the list which happens to be the Mavs.
