The Cavs version of the LeBron James Fathead Wall Graphic is on sale for $17.41 (from $99.99). Fathead Link

That's the birth year for Benedict Arnold!!

Guess who is a majority owner of Fathead... Mr. Dan Gilbert!!

LMFAO!!!

HAHAHA THAT is GREAT!

Man, did Gilbert go wild on Lebron! See that letter to the fans? Although he is making it seem like he is mad because Lebron screwed the City of Cleveland, I have to think that he is pissed because the value of his team has probably dropped QUITE A BIT and HIS net worth has significantly decreased.

It will be interesting to see what free agents he now goes after, considering that he GUARANTEED that the CAVS would win a championship before LeBron!!!

As much as I think what this guy is doing is pretty funny, I'm pretty surprised that someone at his professional level would act like this.

He's not the first owner to act a bit strangely... Mark Cuban... Mikhail Prokhorov...

He should have said, "no matter which team Lebron goes to or how many endorsements he gets, or how many championships he wins. He'll still never be as wealthy as me"

SHALL SURVIVE WITHOUT LEBRON!

Fathead is right. Dan Gilbert has a fat head...and we have Lebron, Wade, and Bosh...GO HEAT!

Very cool. Thanks for posting the link. I bought a couple to give to our local Boys & Girls Club and Children's Advocacy Center. The kids there will love them, they don't care what uniform he's wearing.

I wonder what a Cavs 23 jersey goes for now; assuming they haven't all been burned yet.

This guy should be freaking out. The value of the franchise just plummeted and their revenue will fall significantly. The only way teams make it is when the value of the franchise increases. He has had a disasterous time with Quicken Loans as they were one of the biggest low quality loan providers of them all. This was the only thing really keeping him in good shape. Something like this could lead to bankruptcy as the losses on the team operations can not be offset by the decline in the franchise value. I think this guy could be in real trouble in a year or two. I saw him on CNBC a few months ago and he was sweating bullets about this and now it happened. Forbes today estimated the franchise lost 106 million in value overnight. So many of these big time players like him are leveraged. A decline in an asset of this magnitude and the amount of lost revenue from all sources is going to be awful. If he was using lines of credit to keep the cash flow on the teams operations going it is over for him. I hope this does not happen as I would want to see my worst enemy have this finanical dilemma!!
