Joining Golden State Warriors owner and NBA Finals opponent Joe Lacob at our historic "Minds Behind the Game" NBA panel on Friday in San Francisco, Cleveland Cavs owner Dan Gilbert opened up on everything from new technology in sports to his distaste for roads in his home state of Michigan.
You can watch the full panel video at this link, but we thought we'd boil down the best of what he had to say with The 5 best quotes from Dan Gilbert at Minds Behind the Game.
1. On the Warriors Moving To San Francisco In 2018

Dan: "We'll have Steph Curry by then."
Joe: (Laughs) “Is that tampering?”
2. On Kyrie Irving's Injury
"Great question. Obviously, it's very disappointing. Disappointed for him. I feel terrible for him. This injury literally has nothing to do with his knee that was sprained and hurt in the earlier rounds of the playoffs. It's disappointing, but on the other hand this team has fought adversity the entire year.”
3. On The Roads In His Native Michigan

Joe: "That's pretty good. I can't get the pothole fixed on the 66th Street entrance to Oracle Arena."
Dan: "You should come drive Michigan roads. For the first time ever, there were potholes than assholes on the road last year."
4. On Bringing Professional Talent Back To Detroit
"We figured we had to be in an urban core anyways to get great talent. At the same time, we could help our great city come back. Now we have 12,000+ people there, you can't find an apartment and things are going pretty well. I think we're just at the ground floor and that's the short version."
5. On Cell Phone Usage
Joe: "iPhone 6 and 6 plus. One AT&T and one Verizon. I know that's weird.”
Dan: "That's not weird. I'm bitextual."
Joe: "I don't even want to know what that is."
