From 6 PM to Midnight, ESPN will provide blanket coverage of LeBron James' free agency decision.
NBA free agent LeBron James will announce what team he will sign with during an hour-long special on ESPN 9 PM ET Thursday night. Titled 'The Decision', the special will be presented by the University of Phoenix and Bing, with proceeds donated to charity.
Stuart Scott will host the special, alongside NBA Countdown colleagues Michael Wilbon and Jon Barry.
Surprisingly, former ESPN/ABC NBA reporter Jim Gray "will conduct the first interview with James in which he announces his decision." Gray last worked for ESPN/ABC during the 2006-07 NBA season.
ESPN will air a three-hour edition of SportsCenter preceding the special, followed by a two-hour edition immediately following. ESPN had previously scheduled a World Cup special from 8-10 PM, with Baseball Tonight from 10-11 PM.

If LeBron does end up in Miami...playing with the Heat in 2K11 online should be illegal.
& yea, I wish they all did this in a market that cares more about basketball than Miami. The fans will show up just because of the "scene", but Miami is towards the bottom of 'basketball cites' in the league.
