15 years ago, LeBron James announced in one of the unforgettable television moments, called "The Decision", that he was leaving Cleveland and moving to Miami, and this October he announced "the decision of all decisions".

The legendary basketball player who now wears the LA Lakers jersey has stirred up the NBA just two weeks before the start of the new season, considering that he is now 40 years old and that the "decision of all decisions" could also be the announcement of the end of a great career.

LeBron called the short video posted on social media "The Second Decision," and said that everything would be clearer today at 18 p.m. Central European Time.

"The decision of all decisions. October 7th - 12 noon East Coast time," LeBron wrote in the video's description.

It all brings to mind "The Decision" from July 8, 2010, the television special during which James revealed his plans to change clubs. He famously told reporter Jim Gray, "I've decided to take the talent to South Beach."

While many NBA fans fear that the new "decision" could be the end of his career, there are those who mention a new club change, but those who claim that it is all a marketing ploy designed to promote one of the many companies with which James has sponsorship deals. Perhaps for Amazon Prime, which is launching a platform for NBA broadcasts.

Speaking about his NBA plans last week, James said he was excited about the opportunity to play the game he loves for another season.

"However the journey unfolds this year, I'm fully committed, because I don't know when the end will come. I just know it's a lot closer than it was before," LeBron stressed.

One of the best basketball players of all time, he has been selected to the All-Star Game 21 times and is a four-time NBA champion. Last season, he averaged 24,4 points, 7,8 rebounds and 8,2 assists for the Lakers, while his career averages are 27 points, 7,5 steals and 7,4 assists.

He is the NBA record holder for points (42.184) and minutes played (59.041), and he has made 1.562 appearances in the world's strongest league, which is the second highest number in history.
