Why else would Lebron join Twitter unless he had something huge to announce??? And i'm sorry Briggs, but im staying in Cleveland & endorsing Hot Sauce Williams BBQ Shack does not qualify as "Big News"
LeBron skips camp, joins Twitter
AKRON, Ohio -- LeBron James even has his campers waiting for him.
The NBA’s marquee free agent failed to show for two of Tuesday’s five sessions at his annual camp, fueling speculation about his plans. The camp’s organizers and his publicist had anticipated James watching some of the nation’s top high school and college players.
Monday, James made a surprise appearance with New Orleans guard Chris Paul and played a few full-court games at Rhodes Arena on the first day at Nike Skills Academy. The two-time MVP may come to the afternoon or evening sessions.James met with six teams last week and his decision could affect the balance of the league for years. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls are believed to be the front-runners.
James has made one decision — he joined Twitter. He opened an account on the social networking site Tuesday. Publicist Keith Estabrook confirms the monicker kingjames is indeed LeBron.
James had been reluctant to join Twitter or Facebook and had even joked in the past about how other athletes discussed their personal lives online.
Paul posted on Twitter at midday Tuesday that while he couldn’t persuade James to tell him which team he’ll sign with, he talked him into joining the service.
Less than an hour after Paul’s tweet, James had nearly 18,000 followers — even though he had yet to make a single post. As of 2:15, the number was over 50,000.
