Blazers Video Board Operator Trolls Cavs Fans; Makes Error

It hasn't been a good couple of weeks for video board operators.
Just over a week ago Peyton Manning was fed up with the Broncos scoreboard operator. Now the Portland Trail Blazers were caught trying to be clever and instead creating an epic fail.
The Blazers scoreboard tried to poke fun at Cavs fans by calling them bandwagon fans. I completely agree with that. How can you go from burning LeBron's jersey when he left for Miami to now rooting for him? I don't understand it.
Anyway, it was a good concept, but poorly executed: The scoreboard operator made a slight error with his graphic.

It was a really good attempt at trolling, but come on man, you have to get your dates right! LeBron didn't return to the Cavs until 2014.
Maybe the trolling did work, though, since LeBron only scored 11 points in the loss to the Blazers.
