That is exactly right. He didn't have enough confidence in himself to do it like Jordan. Cleveland is angry. I have never seen an owner a team react like they have to his leaving. Unbelievable!
Cleveland fans reacted exactly like this when Art Model took his browns and left town, they reacted like this when Carlos Boozer told them not to exercise the club option and then bolted.
As soon as clevelanders come to realize that Cleveland is a grubby little town with shitty weather and no sex appeal, the sooner they'll find peace. Cleveland is what it is and superstars don't want to be there.
