lebron is a pretty sensitive guy. he's not a guy who holds grudges if there is some type of apology, which i'm sure they had some type of conversation. now would dan gilbert said was totally wrong in my opinion. he was emotional during that whole process, so i think right now they've had some type of reconciliation if you will. that may be one of the main reasons lebron is coming back. of course he wants to win. he talked about doing things for the community. but the first thing is for lebron and dan gilbert to talk things out. >> michael: since then gilbert has issued some tweets, not quite apologizing, but seemingly moving on and he congratulated king james coming back. when they had the public announcement of this sinning dan gilbert will be asked to apologize? >> i hope so. that will be one of my questions today. if someone else in the media doesn't beat me to the question. he has been on some interviews, he needs to make something for the whole world to see that basically these two guys have come together, and th
