It is officially the NBA’s silly season, as the NBA Draft is a week away, and 10 days later, free agency will finally begin. For the next two-plus weeks, we’ll all be trying to sift through the various rumors about who will be signing where, and it all starts and ends with LeBron James.
The best part about LeBron’s free agency decision is that no one has any actual idea where he’s going to go. The most plugged in reporters in the NBA are working feverishly to try and figure it out, but with the announcement coming on Uninterrupted, they’re not going to get very far in figuring it out. So, while there are levels to which we can all get some kind of information or idea into LeBron’s thought process, at some point we’re all grasping at straws.
The problem is, everyone wants to know what LeBron will do because everyone knows that holds the key to every other free agency decision (or at least will lead to the others starting to get done). So, at some point, newsbreakers are going to be fed up with the constant LeBron questions and may just have a little fun with it all.
The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz is one of the most fun sports shows on television or radio, and they tend to bring out the funny in their guests who otherwise spend their time spewing relevant and interesting information but aren’t often able to enjoy the humor of sports. So, when Marc Stein of the New York Times joined the show on Thursday morning, they asked the LeBron question in their own, very unique way and Stein decided to troll them a bit with a VERY OBVIOUS JOKE (I feel the need to bold that) about how LeBron is going to return to the Heat.

This is the best sports radio/television segment that will happen through the end of free agency. Stein having some fun and saying “Miami” and then them shutting off his mic so they can yell and scream and celebrate while Stugotz screams “He said Miami! He’s credible! The New York Times!”
It is perfection. Also, LeBron’s [probably] not going back to Miami, but no one will know that for sure until LeBron wants us all to know.
