“The decision of all decisions. October 7th. 12pm EST. ���� #TheSecondDecision,” he captioned the post which was supported by a short video. The video shows James sitting alone on a basketball court in a single chair, a throwback to his infamous 2010 ESPN broadcast ‘The Decision’, in which he told reporter Jim Gray he was "taking [his] talents to South Beach."
While he has been time and again encountered with questions regarding his future, it is to be noted that LeBron will turn 41 this December.

In the last season, the Lakers star averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game.
