We all remember “the letter” and apparently it was that letter by Cavs owner Dan Gilbert that held up LeBron’s decision because it was still bothering him. As we all know, LeBron is headed back to Cleveland — so how did they make amends?!
Hit the jump for the report…
Via USAToday:
…”I had told LeBron’s guys, whether he comes back or not, I really want to clear the air. It shouldn’t be like this.”
…
You shouldn’t be known for the worst thing you ever did. Gilbert entered that private home meeting by himself, no assistants, and sat down at a dining-room table across from James and a few associates.
“First thing I said to him was, ‘LeBron, you know this is true. We had five good years and one bad night. Like a marriage that’s good and then one bad thing happens and you never talk to each other again.”
‘I’m just glad we’re here, whether you come or not, LeBron. This has been hanging over my head.’ ”
To his surprise, he soon heard James saying the same thing. The superstar said he regretted the infamous “The Decision” broadcast. He said he didn’t think it out properly. In short, many of the things Gilbert was thinking about his own actions.
“I apologized and we talked and it took maybe 15 or 20 minutes. That’s it. Then I said, ‘Is that enough about the past?’ And we started talking about the future.”
