Sources tell ESPN's Chris Broussard (who else?) that LeBron James will announce which team he will sign with on ESPN on Thursday.
This is remarkably pathetic. James has been milking this process for years, always telling the media that July 1, 2010 would be a "big day." July 1 turned out to be not that big a deal, with James merely meeting with two teams. We've heard numerous reports citing tons of sources who all had a different idea of where James is headed. James has now decided to make this even more of a joke by announcing his decision on TV. Who does LeBron think he is? Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant -- the two players he is measured against -- would never think of doing such a thing. Both have too much respect for the game of basketball to turn an announcement into a circus show.
Moreover, what exactly has James done to warrant a TV announcement? Did I miss the season where he won a championship? Sorry, but all he has ever done is come up small in the playoffs. James continues to show that he doesn't get it, and at this point I don't think he ever will.
There is one big plus with this announcement, however. All the madness will finally be over. Thursday should be quite the interesting night.
