Miami Heat Owner Takes Serious Twitter Jab at Cleveland, LeBron James

What is it about LeBron James that makes NBA owners so salty? Cleveland Cavaliers boss Dan Gilbert lost his mind when James left for Miami in 2010, and now Miami Heat owner Micky Arison is throwing some serious shade because 'Bron decided to go back to Cleveland last summer.

In case you do not remember Gilbert's epic tirade, it included a lengthy note to Cleveland fans decrying James's nationally televised decision to take his talents to South Beach.

"This shocking act of disloyalty from our home grown 'chosen one' sends the exact opposite lesson of what we would want our children to learn," Gilbert wrote, via SB Nation. "And 'who' we would want them to grow up to become."

The vitriol was infamously offset by Gilbert's questionable use of Comic Sans font.

Now, almost five years later, Arison is dumping on LeBron, who decided to try and help his hometown Cavs win their first title after two championships with the Heat.

Like many social media scandals, this one involves a deleted tweet. Arison's current timeline showcases the following two messages, via FanSided:

This is all fine and dandy, but it is missing some important context. Namely, this extra Forbes tweet that Arison originally sandwiched between the above two:

So, basically, Arison called James a dummy for leaving town and then praised his "other" superstar who was loyal enough to stay. We knew the Miami sun required shade, but we did not realize this much was necessary.
