Tuesday is “Decision” Day, Part 2, for LeBron James.
The Laker legend, who turns 41 in December, appears set to make a major announcement after teasing, in a 10-second video posted Monday on X, “the decision of all decisions.”
The mysterious post fueled speculation that Tuesday’s news could concern James’ basketball future — possibly his retirement — as he enters his 23rd NBA season.
What James called “The Second Decision” is set for Tuesday at 9 a.m., he said in the post.
The title is a callback to “The Decision” — James’ 2010 TV special in which he announced he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers as a free agent to join the Miami Heat.
That event drew widespread criticism for its tone and delivery — particularly James’ remark that he was “taking my talents to South Beach.”
James has since said he regretted how that announcement was handled, making his decision to reference it again notable.
The video posted Monday shows two chairs facing each other on a basketball court, in a setup similar to the original “Decision.” An unidentified man sits in the right chair as James enters the frame from behind the camera, sits down on the left and places his hands on his lap. Then the video dramatically cuts to a slide reading “The Second Decision / Coming Soon.”
It remains unclear whether Tuesday’s announcement will address James’ basketball future or another venture entirely.
However, the four-time NBA champion has acknowledged his playing days are nearing an end, though he has offered few specifics on when he plans to retire.
James, the league’s all-time leading scorer, earned All-NBA Second Team honors for the 2024-25 season after averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists, while shooting 51.3% from the field and 37.6% from the three-point range.
He enters the 2025-26 season on an expiring contract and is set to become an unrestricted free agent at its conclusion.
