The longest-lasting takeaway from LeBron James' defection from Cleveland four years ago wasn't the hideous ESPN Special "The Decision" that announced he was heading to the Heat. It wasn't the run he has had (so far?) in Miami, with four trips to the finals and two NBA titles. It wasn't anything that happened on the court, as a matter of fact.
No, the biggest thing we still remember about that crazy time is that Cavs owner Dan Gilbert wrote the angriest, you-just-broke-up-with-me-in-eighth-grade letter about LeBron and the betrayal. But he didn't just write it. He released it to the world using the font Comic Sans, adding so much to the impact of it.
Well, times change and people change. The Cavs now want LeBron back, and it appears the feeling could be mutual. And so, with the anniversary of that letter about to hit four years on Tuesday, Cleveland has finally scrubbed the letter from its web site.
Our only question now is what happens if James again spurns the Cavs in favor of another team? Would he be that diabolical? And more importantly, what font would Gilbert use in the angry letter this time around?
Our sincere hope is that it's Zapf Dingbats. Please let it be that.
