They kissed and made up, obviously . LeBron holding a press conference "show" on television to announce for Miami also showed no class.

We had five great years together and one terrible night," Gilbert told James, and so started the process of reconciliation on Sunday night in Miami. "I told him how sorry I was, expressed regret for how that night went and how I let all the emotion and passion for the situation carry me away. I told him I wish I had never done it, that I wish I could take it back."

And soon, James told Gilbert that he wished he had never done "The Decision" on cable television and that they had made mistakes together, that they could move past it. From James and his agent Rich Paul and business manager Maverick Carter, the air of peace hung heavy in the South Florida air, the process of returning to Cleveland had begun in earnest. Soon, they had stopped talking about the past and talked about the possibility of a future together and for the first time – truly the first time – the possibility of reunification had become genuine.

Did you know Dan Gilbert almost bought the Milwaukee Brewers in 2004? Too bad he didn't because he is committed to winning as an owner.

The amount of Gilbert’s bid to buy the Brewers wasn’t disclosed. The Selig family opted to sell the team to Mark Attanasio, founder of Dallas-based investment firm Crescent Capital Partners, for $200 million.

Gilbert, foreshadowing the future, publicly aired his disappointment over the decision.

“I am deeply disappointed that the Brewers have chosen another direction in the sale of the club,” he said in a statement at the time. “After nearly eight long months of negotiations, I believed we were on the verge of announcing a deal when I was informed of the Brewers’ decision to sell the team to another party.”

He then turned his sights on the Cavaliers.
