00:00but we do have arguably the best or second best player in the history of the nba for me it's
00:04the
00:04second best by the way i don't i have i still have michael jordan number one but lebron james
00:09says he's gonna play next year tom and he's gonna play somewhere to be determined he was at the
00:14fanatics fest over the weekend did not give any indication as to which way it would go
00:20uh pat riley was on a dan lebitard show today and said that he's waiting for a decision like
00:27everybody else he's not asking his agent rich paul or anything he's just waiting there are as many
00:33opposite reports it almost feels like the first decision that lebron made when he shocked
00:37everybody and went to miami which which is some people think miami the prediction markets say miami
00:42by the way uh you know there are others that say cleveland there are others that say golden state
00:46there are other and by the way somehow philadelphia is in the mix here wouldn't that that you know
00:50what tom that's probably where he's gonna go philadelphia because that's not it's the one team
00:54that nobody uh is really focused in on but it does seem it's either miami gold state cleveland
01:02philadelphia am i missing a team guys or are those the 14th being discussed i would say that's that's
01:08what it is you know he did allude to the 76ers over the weekend and you know fanatics fest as
01:13you
01:13uh mentioned he did use the phrase trust the process uh if everyone saw that clip but obviously
01:19you know gets people excited especially philly fans after they you know move off of the paul george
01:25contract they bring in jalen brown uh this is as you've also mentioned this is this is holding up
01:31the nba schedule because regardless of where he goes regardless of you know people think oh he's you
01:37know it's obviously not just the back nine but the last few holes of his career this impacts viewership
01:43for opening night for christmas day for all these things that adam silver alluded to so uh ultimately i
01:49think he's gonna go end up in miami that's my just personal gut instinct on the same rumors that
01:55everyone else is saying i think he's just gonna end up in miami yeah i i mean we're following you
02:01know these breadcrumbs that don't really add up i'm not sure because i look the last time lebron did
02:07this tom i don't know how close you were to following it but i was working for a local radio
02:14station in
02:14miami at the time and i was in i was on the radio for the decision and we all were
02:22in miami thinking
02:23it was not going to be miami none of us did everyone thought it was going to be cleveland
02:29uh or he when he left cleveland we thought i don't you know i don't even remember where we thought
02:32it
02:32was going to be but we definitely did not think that it was going to be the heat and then
02:36they had
02:36this huge press conference it was like wwf style i went to that i broadcast live from that where
02:43they introduced him and chris bosh and dwayne wade had returned and it was the big three and
02:47it was shocking and i think equally shocking tom when lebron left miami to go back to cleveland
02:55and then he won a championship there so i guess the point that i would make is what am i
02:59rooting for
03:00of course i'm rooting for miami the best scenario i want more sports here better things here where i
03:05live you see lone depot park behind me well the other side behind me and then the arena is right
03:09over here because i don't i don't mind that at all but i i just i kind of feel like
03:14we're gonna
03:14get surprised by him you know like i don't think it's gonna be sacramento tom i'm not saying that
03:19or utah i'm just saying that with this particular individual he's surprised us so many different
03:26times i wonder if he's got one more up his sleeve this time too yeah it the quotes that we've
03:32seen from
03:33him or we've heard from him what he said you know specifically to quote i want to compete at a
03:38high
03:38level i want to join a franchise that shares the same models as myself and that's like practicing
03:43uh practicing championship habits every day so you know that could allude to a number of different
03:48things and whether it's the heats because we have seen them you know compete in the championship just
03:54a few years ago whether it's the golden state warriors as we have seen them constantly in the
03:59postseason outside of this most recent year but they have obviously championship pedigree i don't know
04:03i i would say it's the heat then it's the cavaliers for me as the top two i think those
04:07would be
04:08uh the number one number two and then i think golden state would be three
