Welcome back to “As The LeBron Turns.”
That’s right, folks! Though he may try to deny that he doesn’t want the attention to be about him and his latest decision in free agency, LeBron James sure has been the focal point of several stories regarding his future.
In fairness to King James, a lot of that press has been a result of how teams and media members have handled his pending move, but I digress.

Speaking of which, the Miami Heat may have accidentally tipped their hand regarding LeBron’s landing spot, and it happened on YouTube of all places.
It appears someone on Miami’s social media team dropped the ball, posting then immediately unlisting a scheduled livestream on the team’s official YouTube account for July 27.
The title of that livestream? “LeBron James Introductory Press Conference.”

Well, well, well. I don’t think it takes a genius to crack that code.
To their credit, a Heat spokesperson told ESPN’s Shams Charania that the link was only posted to prepare for a “possible” LeBron James signing.
Sure, Jan. Sure.

So, now the whole world likely knows where LeBron will be taking his talents this fall, and they might even know the exact date he’s set to make his decision.

While we wait and see if the prophecy becomes a reality, let’s check in on Miami’s director of YouTube strategy.
Brutal.
Look, I know whoever the previous YouTube strategist was may have just spoiled the biggest free agent signing of the offseason, but getting fired (allegedly) feels a little harsh.
In actuality, clicking the link provided shows that the job was listed on July 1, long before the livestream snafu, so the conspiracy theories will have to be put on the backburner for the time being.
However, if the livestream link was created just as a precaution for a “possible” LeBron signing, then why did the Heat pull it down so quickly?
I think we all know what that means.
