Months of speculation about James' NBA future ended Thursday when the two-time MVP announced his intentions to play for the Miami Heat during a one-hour television special.
James will join a superstar trio in Miami that includes Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
ESPN televised James' decision live from a Boys & Girls Club in Greenwich, Conn., a group with which James has a relationship.
Ten days ago, FOX Sports Radio's Stephen A. Smith reported that James, Wade and Bosh would all end up together in Miami.
“You’re only as good as your sources, as a journalist, and from what I’m being told, after hearing what everybody has to say, LeBron James will agree to team with Dwyane Wade, he’s going to South Beach," Smith said at the time. "LeBron James and Chris Bosh are going to South Beach; they are going to play for the Miami Heat.”
In the hours before his choice was revealed, the sports world spun out of control with speculation and rumors.
James, in a T-shirt and shorts, showed up at a tournament of high school stars at Cleveland State University in midafternoon with former teammate Damon Jones. James nervously chewed his fingernails while watching some high-schoolers play. He stayed a little more than an hour before heading off in a white Bentley, presumably on his way to the airport.
