On Wednesday, big-time NBA beat writer Chris Sheridan broke news LeBron is leaving Cleveland after the season. Sheridan is the writer who broke the story in 2014 when LeBron was leaving the Miami Heat to go back to Cleveland. The reason LeBron is leaving Cleveland is unreal. These athletes are becoming more and more involved with politics and normally they are driven to push the far left agenda. This situation is no different.
The reason LeBron James is leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers is because Cavs owner Dan Gilbert is a Donald Trump supporter.
First let's look at Sheridan's tweet from Wednesday on LeBron leaving after the coming NBA season.
NBA source said today: "This will be LeBron's final season in Cleveland. He is 100 percent leaving. Relationship with owners beyond repair."

It's no secret that LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert have had a rocky relationship. When LeBron left in n2010 after "The Decision," Dan Gilbert wrote a hate filled letter about LeBron 'never winning a title.' It included this part of the letter:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"
And yes the actual letter included all caps.
Reportedly, their relationship became even worse when Dan Gilbert donated $750,000 to the Donald Trump presidential campaign. In recent days, LeBron James has became even more critical of President Trump following the incident in Charlottesville. He said hate has always existed in the United States, but President Trump has made hate "fashionable again."
Here are some tweets from basketball insiders related to the incident.
Lebron leaving Cleveland because Dan Gilbert supported Trump is completely believable. People are getting divorced over this election

Dan Gilbert donated $750K to the Donald Trump campaign. I am sure LeBron loved that move.
