(AP) -- NBA commissioner David Stern has fined Cleveland
owner Dan Gilbert $100,000 for his critical comments about LeBron
James last week. Gilbert released a statement following James'
decision to leave the Cavaliers and sign with Miami, calling the
decision "narcissistic" and "cowardly behavior."

 Speaking from Las Vegas, Stern said James was "entitled" to
decide to leave the Cavaliers for Miami.

 But the commissioner said he would have advised James to tell
the Cavaliers ahead of time of the decision and he would have
advised against making the announcement a made-for-TV event.

The advice James received "was poor," Stern said, calling it
"ill-conceived."

 James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh all decided last week to play
together in Miami, working out six-year deals after talking with
each other at times throughout the free-agent process. Dallas
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Sunday he wanted the NBA to examine
how all three joined the same team.
