The epic, excruciating, ridiculous and wholly entertaining wait is finally over.
LeBron James has made up his free-agent mind and will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers, whose hearts he broke the last time he was a free agent in 2010.
James revealed his decision in a Sports Illustrated exclusive.
After James decided to opt out of the final year of his contract with the Miami Heat in June, the basketball world couldn't contain its LeBron obsession. Where would he go? When would he decide?
The speculation reached farcical proportions as the most innocuous moves and rumors were wrung dry for any shreds of insight into the mindset of the best basketball player on Earth, two-time NBA champion, four-time NBA MVP and 10-time NBA All-Star who has yet to hit his 30th birthday. At one point on Thursday afternoon, James' official website crashed as fans obsessively refreshed it in hopes of a rumored announcement.
Now, finally, we have an answer. Congrats, Cleveland รข€" you are now the center of the basketball universe.
