Did you enjoy the first Summer of LeBron? Those frantic nights losing sleep, wondering where he’d be taking his talents. Ah, the memories.

Do you watch The Decision on the ‘reg, admiring Jim Gray’s hard-hitting interview? Do you miss the excitement of not knowing?

Strap in for a wild ride in the coming weeks.
