Good morning, New York! If you are an NBA fan you know what today. It is LeBron James Day. It isn't marked on your calendar (then again, maybe it is), but it almost feels like today should be some sort of national holiday.
↵After all, tonight at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN we finally get what is sophomorically being billed by the Worldwide Leader as 'The Decision' from James. The world will still be round shortly after 9 tonight, but the shape of the NBA will be changed for years to come.
↵Knicks? Heat? Nets? Bulls? Cavaliers? I don't have any idea and, in truth, I will just be glad when it's over. Stay right here and follow SB Nation New York's 'LeBronathon' StoryStream throughout the day for updates.
