The decision is in. LeBron James is going to the Miami Heat.
And it’s all over. After weeks of speculation, LeBron plunged the proverbial dagger into the back of the entire city of Cleveland and signed with the Miami Heat.
Ouch, Cleveland. Together, James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh feel like they can rack up title after title in South Beach. They did team up to bring home the Gold Medal in the 2008 Olympics, with Wade leading the team in scoring.
At 10:07 ET: Time for the signoff, and a happy ending from LeBron. He reminds the audience that all the proceeds from the sponsorship spots that were sold for tonight’s show will go to the Boy’s and Girls’ Clubs of Cleveland, Akron, Miami, Chicago, New York and Miami. Says LeBron: “This is an unbelievable venture for myself . . . This is great, also for the kids. The kids are our future . . .
One day I might have another LeBron, maybe.” The University of Phoenix also says it’s good for a $500,000 donation and five scholarships.
At 10:03 ET: LeBron, says this has been in the works for awhile, and that playing on the Olympic team with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh played a big role. “I think it was something in the making . . . The fact we all signed the same deal a few years ago (and became free agents at the same time). Now, it’s like a dream come true . . . I think the friendship has been there from day one.”
