Jackson said Gilbert's comments were "mean, arrogant and presumptuous."
"He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers," the reverend said in a release from his Chicago-based civil rights group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. "His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship -- between business partners -- and LeBron honored his contract."

Typically once Jesse Jackson gets involved in anything I immediately stop paying attention. I understand guy did a lot back in the day for civil rights but since I've been alive Jesse Jackson has been a complete joke. Jesse Jackson says ridiculous things just so people will talk about Jesse Jackson. Dan Gilbert thinks LeBron is a runaway slave? Really dude? I hate Jesse Jackson. The whole situation is simple. Dan Gilbert is pissed because LeBron basically took a giant dump all over the city of Cleveland and the Cavs organization with this entire free agency process. All LeBron needed to do was call a quick press conference, talk about how much Cleveland means to him and how much he will miss the city, and then say where he is going. No live one hour ESPN special necessary. Gilbert going off on LeBron was hilarious and pathetic all at the same time. Like I was definitely dying the whole time I was reading it, but I was also glad this was not the owner of the Bulls. Just embarrassing.
