CLEVELAND (AP) -Alert the royal trumpeters for an announcement from King James.UPDATE: LeBron James: "This fall I will be taking my talents to South Beach and playing for the Miami Heat"
LeBron James, the NBA's reigning two-time MVP, is ending months of speculation and suspense by telling the world Thursday night where he'll play basketball next season.
Will he stay in Cleveland, which has braced itself for maybe the most heartbreaking moment in a lifetime of sports agony?
Will he go to Miami and join fellow U.S. Olympic teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in a power trio to rival any in NBA history?
Will he succumb to New York's bright lights?
Or will he head to Chicago, where the Bulls have a young, talented roster and Michael Jordan's daunting legacy?
Much is at stake, and there are lots of opinions about what he should do. President Barack Obama openly rooted for his hometown Bulls, which may not help his poll numbers in Ohio.
ESPN is televising James' decision live from a Boys & Girls Club in Greenwich, Conn., a group with which James has a relationship. Frank Sanchez, the vice president for corporate and partner relationships for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, said James approached the organization last weekend about using its location for his big show.
