Nick Gilbert, the son of Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> team owner Dan Gilbert who became the organization\u2019s good luck charm at NBA Draft lotteries, has died. He was 26.<\/p>\n

Gilbert was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis (NF1) as a toddler. The disease is a genetic condition that causes non-cancerous tumors to grow on the brain, spinal cord and skin. There is no cure.<\/p>\n

The Ira Kaufman Chapel said Saturday in an announcement that Gilbert died “peacefully at home surrounded by family.” He lived in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan.<\/a><\/p>\n

Gilbert became a viral sensation when he wore a bow tie and dark-rimmed glasses at the 2011 draft lottery. The Cavaliers ended up getting the No. 1 pick and selected Kyrie Irving No. 1. It was one season after LeBron James<\/a> left the team to sign with the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n

Then 14 years old, Gilbert quipped, “What\u2019s not to like?” after his father had praised his efforts and called him his hero.<\/p>\n

He represented the Cavaliers at several more lotteries. Cleveland would get the No. 1 pick in 2013 and 2014. The team would draft Andrew Wiggins in 2014 and flip him to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a trade that landed Kevin Love. James, Irving and Love would help bring Cleveland a championship in 2016.<\/p>\n

Cleveland dedicated its 2022-23 season to Gilbert. The team wore bowtie emblems on their warm-up jerseys to honor him and raise awareness for the disease.<\/p>\n
