LeBron James uploaded a video to his official X account with the caption “The decision of all decisions…” This could suggest several possible scenarios regarding the near future of the Los Angeles Lakers star. This clip is called “The Second Decision,” which reminds us of another similar video clip made 15 years ago, when his transfer from one team to another was about to take place.
Recall that, in 2010, LeBron James announced his transfer from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat on a televised show called “The Decision.” Now, with “The Second Decision,” LeBron is expected to announce a trade. What kind of trade? We’ll find out. The Lakers have played two games in the NBA preseason, losing both, first to the Phoenix Suns and then to the Golden State Warriors.
Amazon Prime Day, a possible reason for LeBron James to announce anything
Okay, let’s evaluate why the news would be released on October 7. Tuesday marks two weeks before the start of the regular season. It’s also Amazon Prime Day, tied to a company James has made announcements for in the past. LeBron is obviously making a sarcastic reference to the ridiculous show “The Decision” he hosted in 2010, but it’s unclear exactly what will be shown on the show tomorrow.
October 7 is Amazon Prime Day, so the timing is perfect for James to make waves with whatever announcement he releases tomorrow. NBA fans are eagerly awaiting his announcement, as the day LeBron James hangs up his cleats for good will be a sad day for all basketball lovers, even his biggest haters. Of course, he could be making a fool of himself, and the announcement could be about any number of things.
In the time since James made his bizarre statement, ticket prices for the regular-season finale have skyrocketed from under $100 to nearly $500. Fans are planning for the chance to continue seeing the basketball star. This could all be a mirage for marketing purposes, or perhaps James has a legitimate announcement to make about another project.
LeBron James could announce his retirement from the NBA
Everything could indicate that, after a 22-year career, James is close to calling it quits on his long-running NBA career, or at least that’s what he’s hinted at after an enigmatic social media post. On his social media profile, James posted a video with the message “The decisions of all decisions,” assuring that he will announce a crucial decision next Tuesday, October 7, at 12:00 hours, ET.
“The King” was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2003 after seven years with the organization. He announced his departure in 2010, joining the Miami Heat, where he spent four seasons. In 2014, James returned to the Cavs, and just when everyone thought “The King” would retire in 2018, LeBron confirmed that he would play for the Los Angeles Lakers, a team with which he has already played for seven seasons.
