LeBron James To Make Announcement Tonight In Port Chester's Backyard
The coveted free agent will end months of speculation tonight in Greenwich when he reveals which team he'll play for next season.
After millions of words, thousands of hours of sports radio and countless blog posts have been expended on the question of where LeBron James will play next season, it all comes down to an announcement tonight, eight miles from Port Chester's border.
The coveted and widely-praised free agent will announce his decision this evening at the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich, according to media reports.
The announcement will be broadcast live on ESPN, and millions of basketball fans around the world are expected to tune in. James' decision will end years of speculation and solidify the NBA landscape after the off-season's other big prizes -- Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh -- announced their intentions to team up in Miami.

That development could raise the hopes of Knicks fans -- including many in Port Chester -- who believe James might opt for joining Amar'e Stoudemire in New York to counterbalance the two Miami superstars. And it could reignite a dormant rivalry between Miami and New York, bringing back the days when deafening crowds filled Madison Square Garden.
Patch will be there tonight, talking to fans, capturing images of the crowd and sharing in the anticipation. If you're a fan of the NBA or the Knicks, write us to give us your thoughts on tonight's announcement.
