hasn't even had the account for a full day, and he's up to over 140K followers. Chris Paul told him to join, and he has surpassed his following in half a day lol.

Apparently they are announcing his decision on ESPN at 9 PM on Thursday..

A Nike employee has leaked that lebron is coming to the Knicks.. I'm on my phone but later tonight I'll post a pic of orange and blue witness shirt that an employee claims has been sent in massive quantities to the NBA store in NYC. He also notes that despite te cavs having alternate jerseys like that, it is unlikely to be that because the shipments are all primarily to NYC stores and they never made shirts to match those jerseys all of last year. More to come when I get back from Penn state

They say the ESPN/LeBron 1hr show has been under preparatipon for months so he's known where he was going to go for a while

I just want him to announce it, so some fan base can start the <Censored> talking....

 

[dcpwner]

the NBA is labeling this "Decision 2010", taking it up to the status of like the freaking presidential election.
SO, IMO, their should be a vote from the top teams in contention Nets, Knicks, Bulls, Cavs, Heat and 1 vote per fan, and whoever has the biggest fan base gets LeBron.


HAHAHAHA JK, i just want this to be over with so the Bulls can get to signing Boozer and fricking Ray Allen

It's just Cavs throwback jersey colors, lol...

I highly doubt some small nike employee knows what's going to happen because even his people don't know.

Anyway, Wade and Bosh to Miami is great news, it eliminates the Bulls and it's down to Miami & Cleveland

i wonder how much Carmelo wants to be a Knick, how much he wants out of Denver, and how much influence he could possibly have on LeBron...

http://twitter.com/Ian_OConnor/status/17954436795 -- #LeBron James in contact with Carmelo & Amare last night, according to an ESPNNewYork.com source. Carmelo pushing #Knicks hard.

http://twitter.com/Ian_OConnor/status/17955813512 -- #Knicks pushing 2-yr plan w/ Carmelo on back end is positive & negative. Miami has 1-yr plan 4 title, but #LeBron isnt The Guy there

 

[Pugz]

melo is going to sign an extension. lol

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Melo isn't a lock to sign an extension if he's talking to LeBron and trying to persuade him to go to the Knicks.

 

[Pugz]

melo will sign an extension. denver is too good to him. their in the hunt out west, hes not going to leave. hes not leaving, atleast not now. and not for the extension they offered him.

 

[playmaker7]

I find it funny that if Jesus rose from the dead tomorrow at 9 PM on National TV, that more people would watch LeBron announce something he's known for a while now

 

[elcheato]

Half the Cavs team and our new coach is at LeBron's camp with him.. He better re-sign.

 

[The Young One]

But a person with knowledge of their plans said Wade, in particular, is aggravated that the news leaked out sooner -- and that the superstar believes it came from someone in LeBron's camp.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

LeBron's airing looks like its going to be somewhere in Greenwich CT, but noones exactly sure where in Greenwich:

-- Chad Ocho Cinco seems to believe that LeBron is going to be a New York Knick -- http://twitter.com/OGOchoCinco/status/17964214624

-- http://twitter.com/JaredDudley619/status/17967607292


even I'm skeptical because I think Ocho and Dudley are just talking out of their ass, trying to make a prediction so tomorrow night at 9:30 they can go on their twitter accounts and say "I told you so."

“You don’t hear Kobe Bryant and certainly not Kevin Durant talking about their brand. They don’t. I hear that from the other guys. I don’t hear those guys talking about their brand, they’re simply basketball players who want to be great players and win games. Not that those other guys aren’t great players and don’t want to win games. They do, but there’s also more to it. It’s not what I like. Other people, I guess, like it. I’m sure it will be a widely watched show tomorrow. It simply will not have me as an audience.”
- SVG (Orlando Magic coach’s thoughts on the 2010 free agency and Lebrons 1 hour special on Thursday announcing where he will go )

The man, Stan Van Gundy speaking the troof. Don't understand why a simple decision has to take one mother<Censored>ing hour. Don't even have to watch it anyway. Whatever LBJ's decision is; that's the only thing that's going to be on sports shows for the next couple of weeks.

I have to admit, that is probably the most real quote I have heard through this whole LeBron process.

Definitely Agreed. I can't lie over the course of this off-season I've started to like KD even more. Dude is seriously supporting his franchise. Going to the draft, going to summer league, getting that extension. Who wouldn't want a player like him?

 

[playmaker7]

LeBron can do all of this guys. Lets not forget he's "God"

 

[RipCity32]

It has to take an hour cause LBJ could go down as the best player to play the game by the time he retires.
This is a huge <Censored>ing deal.
Just cause it's not Kobe, doesn't mean Kobe wouldn't do the same thing, cause I don't see Kobe in the same situation right now..

I really don't get what SVG is trying to say anyways. He said that's not what he meant, but he made it seem like LeBron isn't trying to go out there and win games.
