LeBron James Decides to Play for Miami Heat

Lebron James, the NBA's reigning two-time MVP, ended months of the speculation and suspense by telling the world Thursday he will play for the Miami Heat next season, leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers after an unsuccessful seven-year quest for the championship he covets.

James wasted no time in making a prediction during his exclusive announcement : "We're going to be a real good team."

It's a huge victory for the Heat, who got commitments from the superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on Wednesday.

That duo, along with James, formed the upper echelon of the most-celebrated free-agent period in the league history.

Heat president Pat Riley landed them all, a three-pack of the stars to help shape his quest for a dynasty in Miami.

He said he decided on Thursday morning about where he would play.

"It was day-to-day," he said. "This morning work up and had a great conversation with my mom and I was set."

The number one decision maker was being able to help his team win, he said.

"I don't have any doubts about this decision," he said.
