NBA fans have been transported back to 2010 with James’ cryptic social media post as they anxiously await what the star’s news will be; video was shared on Monday October 6, which was also his son and teammate Bronny’s 21st birthday.
Last Updated: 07/10/25 12:32pm
The NBA’s all-time top points scorer, LeBron James, shared a short video to social media on Monday, that despite its simplicity, has sent the basketball world into a spiral.
It has launched fans into a state of anticipation as they await what ‘The Second Decision’ will hold when announced on October 7 from 5pm (GMT).
The cryptic video mirrors the aesthetic of James’ 2010 ‘The Decision’ when he announced his move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to Miami Heat, a moment that has been argued to be one of the sport’s biggest moments in recent history.
At just 25-yeras-old, a young James had become a free agent after seven years with the Cavaliers and held the full attention of NBA fans as he debated whether to leave his home state, Cleveland, to chase his first league Championship.
Now, 5,570 days later his decision holds just as much importance to the league.
The teaser is eerily similar to his 2010 decision announcement, the same red and white striped shirt, two singular chairs face-to-face, and the weight of the league on his shoulders.
For many people, James has completed everything. He is the all-time leading points-scorer, a four-time NBA Champion, four-time NBA MVP, four-time NBA Finals MVP, three-time Olympic Gold medallist, and he has started in the last 20 seasons of NBA All-Star games.
But most impossibly, he has even played a season on the same roster as his son, Bronny.
His ‘Second Decision’ has fans wondering, could this be it for James’ career?
At 40-years-old he’s certainly a veteran in the league, but his performances don’t seem to suggest so.
Watch NBA games live on Sky Sports+, including the pre-season fixture between Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers from 11:30pm on Tuesday.

Florida Fires HC Billy Napier After Multiple Seasons on Hot Seat
Not even a win could save Billy Napier's job as Florida's head coach.Florida has fired Napier a day after he helped the Gators beat Mississippi State, according to multiple reports. While Florida was able to get a victory on Saturday, it only defeated a Mississippi State team considered to be among the worst in the SEC by two points, 23-21, and needed some late-game magic to get the win. Saturday's game looked like it was going to be a gut-wrenching loss until defensive tackle Michai Boireau picked off a pass with 21 seconds remaining with Mississippi State near field-goal range.The game-sealing takeaway energized the Swamp, but the home crowd quickly turned on Napier and booed him as he sprinted off the field. Stricklin had seen enough and pulled the plug on a tenure that most of the Florida faithful thought lasted […]

Jayden Daniels Says Commanders’ Difficult Season Has ‘Been Fun’ to Navigate
When Jayden Daniels sat down with FOX Sports' Erin Andrews ahead of Sunday's Washington Commanders-Dallas Cowboys game (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app), he couldn't help but laugh when she asked him to recite a passage from a Players' Tribune article he wrote ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft."One thing I think gets overlooked is that dog and competitive edge in me," Daniels read with a smile. "People don’t really get to see that side because of who I am as a person. I'm more reserved. I'm calm. I'm quiet and I'm very competitive. I don't back down from anything or anybody."So, why was Daniels smiling at that? "Because it's very much true," Daniels said. "Behind this smile and everything, I'm very competitive. I think that kinda gets misconstrued — do I care or do I not […]
