Cavs' Owner Dan Gilbert Calls Out Draymond Green On Twitter [PHOTO]

There is something about Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert that just rubs me the wrong way.

When LeBron James left the Cavs for the Miami Heat in 2010, I actually applauded James for making such a tough "decision." See what I did there?

Gilbert went off the deep end and penned a letter for everyone to see on the Cavs website.

The most famous quote was: "I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE." Gilbert then followed that up with, "you can take that to the bank." I wonder if Gilbert actually did?

Seriously? How did that work out for Gilbert and the Cavs? James won two titles with the Heat. The Cavs have won a grand total of 0.

The Cavs' have had 3 first overall picks in the NBA Draft since LeBron left home. Maybe a conspiracy in the NBA?

Now that LeBron has returned to Cleveland and his so-called "home," Gilbert just loves himself some LeBron.

Gilbert decided to act like he had a part in the Cavs game 3 win over and took a shot at former Spartan Draymond Green on Twitter.

Yes, Andre Iguodala was grabbing LeBron's jersey but this is the NBA Finals. Imagine if Gilbert owned the Bulls during the days of the "Jordan Rules."

It's almost as if Gilbert had an amazing girlfriend, she broke up with him and dated a more handsome man for a while, got a ton of money from said dude, then decided to go back to Gilbert, and now he is all fine and dandy.
