Throwback: David Stern's Reaction to The Decision
Cleveland Cavaliers majority owner Dan Gilbert almost immediately wrote an open letter published on the Cleveland Cavalier's website, insulting James' decision as a heartless betrayal, while guaranteeing the Cavaliers would win an NBA title before the "self-declared former King."
On July 12, 2010, NBA Commissioner David Stern fined Dan Gilbert $100,000 for the letter he wrote regarding LeBron James' Decision and he also criticized the way James handled free agency.
Stern congratulated James on his decision he just wishes it came without "The Decision." Stern stated that he would have advised James to tell the Cleveland Cavaliers of his choice to leave for the Miami Heat earlier than he did, and that James' announcement should not have come in a television special that attracted nearly 10 million viewers.
