One year ago today, LeBron James announced his decision that changed the face of the NBA. And now, thanks to Upper Deck’s 2011 Goodwin Champions set, you can cherish that moment forever in rectangular form.

An Esquire writer and son of Cleveland gets biblical in a new book about the man who betrayed his city.

The Miami Heat took Game 1 of the NBA Finals with a 92-84 victory over the Mavericks. What does this mean? For starters, the LeBron James Vindication Tour is almost upon us.

An artist created a three-dimensional image of LeBron James, etched on 22 layers of glass.

The Decision was such a disaster that it really speaks to a failing by the entirety of America. We’re all a part of the culture that created an environment where enough people thought this was a good idea that it got the go-ahead…then, we proved the people who gave it the go-ahead right, by watching it.

The jaw-droppingly horrendous “The Decision” decision by LeBron James to announce his exit from the hometown Cavs was made more baffling by the optics – why was he surrounded by a bunch of kids, who were never addressed once? Here’s a theory: LeBron James is Peter Pan, the 25-year-old kid who refuses to grow up.

The NBA is intense, especially when you throw mega-hyped free agent courtships into the mix. But now we know what might surpass the passion of basketball at the highest level: moderately priced bars/grills and their battles to win the patronage of high-profile funnymen.

Finally, ESPN Ombudsman Don Ohlmeyer posted a response about the network’s decision to be involved in LeBronukkah.

Not exactly the vindictive condemnation that many were hoping for (‘It was ill-conceived’). But, then again, when you think about it, why would it be?

We now know, through columnist Gene Wojciechowski, that some ESPN employees were none too pleased with LeBron’s choice to put on an hourlong program called “The Decision.”
