CLEVELAND — Nicolas"Nick" Gilbert, the son of Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert who became the team's good luck charm at NBA draft lotteries, has died. He was 26.
Gilbert was diagnosed as a child with neurofibromatosis , a genetic condition that causes non-cancerous tumors to grow on the brain, spinal cord and skin. There is no cure. One season after LeBron James left as a free agent, Cleveland wound up with the No. 1 overall pick and used it to select Kyrie Irving, who became an All-Star and later paired with James to win the championship in 2016.
Gilbert represented the Cavs at several more lotteries. Cleveland also had the No. 1 pick in 2013 and 2014. He often attended the team's games at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse with his dad and mom, Jennifer.
