Ohio Governor honors Mavericks - and tweaks LeBron USA TODAY Ohio Governor John Kasich has asked for a resolution making the Dallas Mavericks honorary Ohioans for beating the state's former favorite son LeBron James and the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals. Seems like Ohioans won't forgive or forget. Even though the state's former favorite son LeBron James lost the NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks. John Kasich, governor of James' home state of Ohio, has issued a resolution making the Mavs "honorary" Ohioans for beating James' Miami Heat in the Finals. LeBron to Haters: Get a life The Ohio's governor's resolution doesn't name the ring-less King James, who became persona non grata among many sports fans in the Buckeye State after dumping the Cleveland Cavaliers on ESPN's The Decision for the Heat. But Kasich heaps praise on the Mavs for their "loyalty, integrity and teamwork." It singles out NBA Finals MVP Dirk Nowitzki for forgoing free agency last summer "thus remaining loyal to the team, city and fans for whom he played his entire career." Cavaliers fans still disappointed about James' departure dubbed the Mavs the "Mavaliers" and "Cavericks" during the Finals. Kasich says "the proud city of Cleveland and the entire state of Ohio share in the excitement of Dallas Mavericks fans everywhere."
these mothafuckas got better shit to worry about than a former balla the black man irritating the white man once more on some real shit pay attention
The deep seated hatred for LeBron, or whatever it is, keeps them from being as successful as they could be...focus on your own shit and stop trying to piggy back on others defeats...Cavricks, gtfoh.
If LeBron really wanted a ring that bad then he could've stayed in Ohio and bought one from Terrell Pryor.
If John Kasich spent more time fixing Ohio's rotten economy as he did spiting Lebron, his approval ratings would be much higher than Lebron's career high in points.
The people of Cleveland should focus their anger on all the business that got up and left their city (and the state of Ohio) for the "greener pastures" of cheap labor in the South (no unions) and slave labor overseas.
