The Reverend Jesse Jackson responded to Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert's remarks on Sunday that "Lebron James quit" in his last remaining NBA Playoffs games by saying Gilbert sees James as a "runaway slave".

On Monday, Gilbert said he strongly disagreed with Reverend Jesse Jackson's criticism of his recent comments about James, who announced last week he was leaving Cleveland after seven seasons to join fellow All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat.

Hours later, NBA commissioner David Stern fined Gilbert $100,000 for his "inappropriate" comments about James, and rebuked Jackson for his "mistaken" comments.

Gilbert fired off an incendiary letter to Cavaliers fans, vilifying the 25-year-old and calling his decision to bolt Cleveland as "narcissistic" and "cowardly behavior.

Jackson has also said that the owner's comments after the free agent forward decided to join the Miami Heat put the player in danger.
