Free Agent Frenzy

Could LeBron James be one more person trying to make it in the city where big lights inspire you? On the day before he makes his official announcement, rumors ran rampant that the world’s most desired free agent is in an Empire State of mind, after Phoenix Sun Jared Dudley tweeted that James will pick the New York Knicks as his team. Shares in Madison Square Garden—the owners of the Knicks—jumped 4 percent on the rumor as well. All this came on the same day that other hot free agents Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh announced they will be going to the Miami Heat, leaving New York with more money for James—who has said that he wants to be a billionaire—and also more room for James to be a star. James has visited several teams over the past few weeks, and has remained tight-lipped about his plans. Another reason to think James might be coming to New York? ESPN confirmed James will make his special Thursday-night announcement at the Boys and Girls Club in neighboring Greenwich, Connecticut.
