James will make his decision on whether to stay in Cleveland or go to another team tonight on ESPN.CLEVELAND, Ohio - LeBron James quietly showed up at his King City Classic at Cleveland State University's Wolstein Center today about 3:15 p.m.
He arrived with a small posse, which included former Cavaliers player Damon Jones and a pair of bodyguards.
James was wearing a white T-shirt, black basketball shorts and had his Blackberry at the ready.
James is expected to announce which team he has decided to play for tonight at 9 p.m. on ESPN from a Boys and Girls Club in Greenwich, Conn. Reports say he has chosen the Miami Heat.
In past years James spent his time at the event chatting with college coaches in attendance.
But today even the coaches are at a distance as James sits between the two courts, watching the action, dipping into a bag of chips seemingly without a care in the world.
The middle of four sessions at the King City Classic in the Wolstein Center finished at 4:25, and James sat through most of it. As the players filed off the court and out of the gym, he began hoisting long shots from just off one of the courts. Moments later, at 4:31, he left the court. He only spoke to those in his entourage, and those in the stands -- clearly mostly family and friends of out-of-town campers -- watched silently as TV media and others followed every move James made.
