1284092 <p>Dear Dan Gilbert,&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>In the 2008-2009 season of "Tipoff Tonight" The Official Game Program Of The Cleveland Cavaliers, you have a page entitled "The Feeling." You address your page to the city of Cleveland and to Cavs Fans. On that page, you wrote: "Enough Already. Enough Building. Enough talk. Enough "almost." The hardware belongs in Cleveland. We have never been more ready. More passionate. More confident..."</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Well Counselor, I concur!!!!...Our Cavs are ready. Both our city, and the Cavs Organization need a Championship. As an avid, long-time Cavs fan--I am more hungrier now, than I have ever been. The time is now!!! I cannot accept anything less than the hardware being in Cleveland. But, above all, YOU deserve a Championship! I constantly hear that "Cleveland is a Football town," but I beg to differ!&nbsp;Since the drafting of LeBron James, and your successful tenure as the Cavs owner (consistently going to the Playoffs, and a Finals appearance) the Cleveland Cavaliers are the hottest ticket, in this town!!! You are the model for ALL Sports owners. And the Cavs Organization is the model for all Sports Organizations. Every athletic organization should pattern themselves after the class, professionalism, style, and appreciation for its fans like the Cavs Organization exhibits.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I was born a Cavs fan, and I refer to myself as somewhat of a "Cavs Legacy" because my late father was a longtime Season Ticket Holder, and Cavs Stock Holder. I have a lot of Cavs games, under my belt, and this is by far our most exciting season. Also, it is by far, my most exciting Cavs season!! My Lucky Jersey (which I have worn to every home game, thus far) and I, look forward to experiencing the magic, the passion, the love, the chemistry, and the great display of talent at Quicken Loans Arena on game days.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I am thankful that you purchased the Cavalier Franchise, I am thankful for your Humanitarian and Charitable contributions to the city of Cleveland, and I am thankful that you (along with LeBron) helped to bring joy and hope back into my city. I know that you are a Michigan native, and that you have a lot of love for your state, but I feel that Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson should present you with a Key To Our City, after our Victory Parade in June 2010!!!!</p> true 2009-10-29T03:23:50Z 97507 1 2009-10-29T03:36:09Z
