Fans will remember King James’ first major decision in 2010, which was televised on ESPN. At the time, he was an unrestricted free agent who had just played seven seasons with the Cleveland Cavaliers. During the special, he revealed he would be joining the Miami Heat for the 2010-2011 season.
In Monday’s video, fans noted he’s wearing the same outfit in the 2025 version of the decision as he did 15 years earlier.
