Dan Gilbert, Mo Williams Enjoyed the Mavs’ Title Win


Two guys who were pretty close to LeBron James through the first stage of his NBA career (Cavs owner Dan Gilbert, and former teammate Mo Williams) celebrated the Dallas Mavericks’ championship last night, via Twitter, in fairly petty fashion: “Congrats to Mark C.&entire Mavs org. Mavs NEVER stopped & now entire franchise gets rings. Old Lesson for all:There are NO SHORTCUTS. NONE.”

“Dallas just healed my HEART……..”

    Get that ring before Lebron Dan!
    Lol aint gon happen

  • http://slamonline.com Tracy

    Why is Mo so overly dramatic, I mean wtf, dude was about to commit suicide when Bron left. Mo actin like a jealous lover and Dan is a spiteful mistress.

  • T-Money

    grade a, certified suckers. only a sucker can revel in the next man failing. congrats to the mavs and the big german but these cleveland folks have b-tch-like tendencies.

  • IAMORANGE4EVER

    My Knicks gonna get a ring before Dan and Bron Bron. Book it baby!

  • Riggs

    while i dont like bron, i HATE dan gilbert’s antics after everything that happen. So while i didnt want the heat to win THIS years chip, I hope they win next years just to shut his a*s up.

  • Abdiddy

    LeBron is definitely creeped out by Mo’s love….

  • sean

    LOL this is really funny Dan gilbert have your team not have the worst record in the nba and then talk…

  • muhammad

    the only one that should shut his pie hole and sit in the corner is mr.mo williams lol he didn’t forget how he chocked in the playoffs not in one series the whole playoffs he evaporated as for dan gilbert grow up dude and get over it, lebron still have another 9 years left in him sure he played terrible in the finals but he’ll learn, now pat have the whole summer to bring in the RIGHT pieces for this team most important a 7 foot center dallas had 3 7 footers and one 6’11, now everyone will sleep better after seeing lebron not getting the ring specially barkely and gilbert, pat did a great job by bringing the trio now he should add the right pieces because the east is going to be a lot tougher just imagine monta running with the bulls yea and rose will get even better the one thing that i didn’t like about the heat is what they did at the start of the season all that celebration and hype and talkin bout multiple championship they should approached it in a better way same for lebron and his decision he should have done it differently anyway what’s done is done it took Dirk 13 season and Kidd 17 season it’s gonna take time.

  • RunNGun

    Anyone who is getting married this year will get a ring faster than Dan Gilbert or LeChoke. LOL

  • robb

    Hey, I dont like Lebron but Mo williams is ridiculous. Dude should write soap operas. “ooooh you healed my broken aching heart” GTFOH with that sh*t!

    I laughed when I saw Mo’s tweet. HAHAHAHAHA, b*tch a**

  • shelby

    I am from Cleveland, Ohio and one of the biggest fans of the Cleveland Cavalier’s. LeBron brought great things to our city and team, but as i was taught in school there is no “I” in team. We succeed and fail as a team. I was so happy to see the “Mavs” win; they deserved it more than the Heat, they played like a REAL TEAM (not as individuals)!!! No one was labeled the “King” on their team. I aslo feel that all of the publicity of LeBron, Wade, Bosh, Mo Williams & Dan Gilbert and whoever else wants to have their say about last nights game has truly taken the limelight from the true “Winners” of this series – The Dallas Mavricks!!! Congrats for playing from the heart as a team. What has happened to sports with all of the “Diva’s is sickening!!! I would rather watch high school football, basketball & baseball these kids are playing from their heart and for the love of the game! To many high priced sports athletes forget why they started playing in the first place. I always heard money/fame changes people and I agree!

    CONGRATULATIONS – DALLAS MAVRICKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • vtrobot

    These guys are a reflection of what’s largely wrong with our society. STFU and worry about yr own sh*t.

  • http://www.nba.com/celtics lights out

    dan gilbert’s a moron. doesn’t he realize what an jerk he comes off as? how unappealing he makes the cavs seem to future free agents?

  • misso

    I take it all of u leaving comments on here r lebron fans

  • http://slamonline.com 1982

    Mo was always like that. He’s Starbury without the game. But I like how Gilbert wants to stress that there are no shortcuts when his team was 17-63, they could’ve told you that.

  • http://theurbangriot.com The NUPE

    I like Dan’s comment. There are no shortcuts and the Mavs proved that. So many playoff runs without a ring and now Dirk, Kidd, Terry etc. have now reached that goal. I understand why LBJ left Cleveland to team up with another superstar, and I’m sure he’ll end up with a ring within the next two years. However, the team game that the Mavs displayed, the ‘class’ of the players (with the exception of Stevenson) is what basketball is really about.

  • youngmuggsy

    Yet more melodrama from the Mo Williams.

  • bull22

    THANKS DAN GILBERT FOR TAKING A ROYAL DUMP ON LEBRON JAMES!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

  • Ai come back

    u dont gotta be a lebron fan to find dan gilbert and mo williams idiotic

  • http://staticseth.blogspot.com Seth

    Mo Williams, broken heart no more?

  • JMart42

    Mo Williams… whatta bum!

  • All Day

    I can understand Mo Williams taking a shot at LeBron, but come on Dan Gilbert…you should be better than that! Dan is a scorned lover and I’m sure this won’t be the last time we hear from him.

  • NachoChizzle

    Glad to see the Mavs win, and take out the Heat. Yeah I think Dan Gilbert should kept silent with the whole “lesson” comment. Its just immature. Mo Williams I can kinda understand why he would be upset, because Lebron has an outgoing personality that brings people in and makes peopel think “hey! this guy is my friend” and then he bailed on them in an embarassing way. Everybody gets what they deserve and when it comes to the game, the best team wins! The Mavs were the better team.

  • Coach Russ

    I am soory bbal is done for the year. Congrats to Dallas. Good luck next year Miami, I have a feeling you will be back. I feel bad for Gilbert rooting for Lebrons to fail. If I had a son with an afliction I would not wish bad karma on anyone….just saying. Think about it?

  • http://www.slamonline.com Coach Russ

    Gilbert set a better example for you kid. You want people rooting for you kid to get better not worse, so think about what you say and do out of being scorned.

  • http://slamonline.com datkid

    mo and dan are pathetic… nuff said.

  • Jose

    That totally would make me wanna get drafted by his team. . .

  • thecomputerdude

    Ha..Dan Gilbert talking about shortcuts. Didn’t he make his money from subprime lending? I’m just saying…..

  • LANNY

    I’m sick of people telling Cleveland to GET OVER IT, we’re OVER IT, we’ve seen this act before, we got the 1st and the 4th pick in the draft.THE REST OF YALL need to get over your facination with BRON, actually we don’t even think about this guy until y-all bring him up,We’re happy about our future, and NOBODY IN CLEVELAND WANTS LEBRON BACK.

  • LANNY

    DF

  • johhny boi

    Ha ha Dan Gilbert should be talkin, man is the worst owner in the league. Can provide Bron decent talent to surround him with. Mo is a garbage player. He disappears in the playoffs forcing lebron to carry the team. The only other player on the previous cavs team that actually playyed in the playoffs was Anderson. Just watch they gonna draft Kyrie and he too will leave when he gets an opportunity. Nobody wants to play for Cleveand

  • HAMMER

    I just think u gotta c it from Mo’s pov. This cat might have thought that he and LBJ were n fact tru homies while n Cleveland. And once LBJ goes 2 Miami, their “friendship” ends. I mean if that were 2 happen 2 anybody, that sh!t would piss anybody off. We would have felt betrayed. That being said, both Mo and Dan have got 2 let this sh!t go! Move on and b done w/it.

  • http://www.twitter.com/dfrance21 DFrance21

    Hammer I think thats exactly what it is. Mo thought he was a part of Lebrons inner circle when in reality he was just a teammate so he definitely feels burned, but these punk azz tweets need to stop. I actually don’t have a problem with Dan Gilberts tweet. He’s right, there is no shortcut to a ring, the work still has to be put in.

  • Drea123

    Seriously, All Yall Who Commented On Here Wit Yall Negativity. Grow Up! Second, If Yall We’re On The Cavs Team & LeBron Left Without Talkin To Yall Before Lettin The Whole World Know His Decision, Yall Would Feel The Same Way As Everyone Who Was On The Cavs Team. Soo Stfuu! Im A LeBron Fan & I Think He Shouldve Let His Team Former Team Know Ahead Of Time. If He Did Then Things Would be ALOT Diffrent. And Soooo Df What If The Cavs Have The Worst Record In The NBA..Every Year & In Every Sport There Is A Team The Badd. Get Over It. The Cavs Are A Good Team. They Just Got Things To Work On! The Players Are young & In A Year Or Soo They’ll Be Back To The Cavs That Made It to The Playoffs..

  • Drea123

    *that is

  • Drea123

    If Yall Were In Mo Williams Shoes,Yall Would Feel The Same Wayy..The Whole Cavs Team Were Mad..Some Got Over & Some Didnt.

    Everything’s in context Dfrance, Gilbert’s tweet calls back to his infamous comics sans letter to the fans where he completely lost all his sh*t. Tell me you can’t imagine him all smug and indulgent when he was tweeting that “no shorcuts” crap. There’s a lot hate on both these tweets and very little relevance and it needs to stop. Happiness over another guys losses is the definition of classless, and these two need to move on. Mo is in a better situation with the Clippers and Blake, and Gilbert just got lucky in the draft and should concentrate on not f*king things up with rebuilding. Just. Move. On. Fellas.

  • Zabba

    HoMo Williams.

  • yeayea

    cleveland should just move on..their king already moved on…Dan couldve made lechoke happy and get the role players he needed but didnt..come on antawn jamison? not gonna cut it. haha mo wil likes lebron way too much to be all broken hearted and shiii.

    lebron is a wimp! like jordan said..he would never have asked to join the other best players in the L. he’d try to beat em..that shoulda been his mentality all throughout. maybe he’d have the hunger and killer instinct that he obviously lacks.not get the ring the easy way to put on that ring.

  • doyouwantmore

    No doubt. Lebron might be a bit egocentric, but I wouldn’t want to play for a team that celebrates other team’s victories either.

  • Bob

    How about keeping your word? If you say you’re going to “stop at nothing” to bring a city a championship, you don’t bolt three months after saying that. If he kept his word and wasn’t such an arrogant douchebag, people wouldn’t dislike him so much.

  • underdog

    Cavs? Mo Williams? Make the playoffs first, suckas. And I was rooting for the Mavs on this one, because of Kidd and Dirk, but still, get over it.

  • Yesse

    I think the Cavs got a break on this one. They have time to regroup and get their team ready to win a championship before the Heat. Still doubt it’s gonna happen, lol.

  • EtheKnickfan

    Is that a Lebron pubic hair in ur teeth Mo?
