In 2010, LeBron James shocked the basketball world by announcing he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat in an ESPN special titled "The Decision." On Tuesday, that special is getting a sequel.

James teased the "decision of all decisions" Tuesday in a post on X. The video clip attached to that post features the Los Angeles Lakers star sitting down in a chair on the court. It's meant to evoke James' original decision, in which he sat in a chair across from reporter Jim Gray.

But just to make it obvious that's what James was going for, he added the hashtag #TheSecondDecision to the post.

Given the open-ended nature of his post, there's no way to know what James will announce Tuesday at 12 p.m. ET. Considering James will be 41 in December, though, speculation will run rampant that James will make an announcement about the future of his playing career.

James hasn't been super forthcoming about the issue during training camp. When asked about retirement in September, James said he was excited to play for another season. He added that he knows the end of his career is "a lot sooner than later," but failed to expand on that.

At least some fans believe a retirement announcement could happen. Tickets for the Lakers' final home game of the season are skyrocketing on Stubhub, with the cheapest available sitting at $746 as of Monday afternoon.

Despite his age, James continues to play at a high level. Last season, James averaged 24.4 points, 8.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds with the Lakers. He helped lead the Lakers to the playoffs, where they lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round.

Given the nature of social media these days, however, it's also possible James' post will wind up being a new ad or partnership. It's worth noting Tuesday is the start of Amazon's Prime Day, something James has promoted in the past.

If James' announcement is not related to basketball, that might disappoint some fans, but ... well, so did the original decision.

Kayla Nicole and Taylor Swift -

Kayla Nicole continued to speak out amid speculation that Taylor Swift addressed her on a new song off of The Life of a Showgirl

In an Oct. 4 episode of her podcast The Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole, she said she was "terrified of my comments" and "terrified of my DMs"

Fans believe lyrics in Swift's track "Opalite" reference Nicole, who dated the pop superstar's fianceé for five years

Kayla Nicole is continuing to speak out amid speculation that Taylor Swift referenced the media personality on a new song on The Life of a Showgirl.

After the pop superstar dropped her 12th studio album on Oct. 3, Swifties quickly scrambled to decode its lyrics — and many speculated that the track "Opalite" references Nicole and her previous five-year relationship with Swift's fianceé Travis Kelce.

In the song, Swift seemingly sings about her winding road to love with the NFL star, describing past relationships before her fairytale romance with Kelce. In the second verse, the Grammy winner appears to turn the attention to Kelce's love life, describing one of his former flames.

"You couldn't understand it, why you felt alone," sings Swift. "You were in it for real, she was in her phone and you were just a pose."

In a viral video that resurfaced after Swift dropped the track, Kelce and Nicole appeared to argue while sipping on glasses of wine, with Kelce at one point telling his then-girlfriend, "Oh, my god. Get off your phone" — only further fueling fan speculation that the song is loosely inspired by Nicole.

In an episode of Nicole's podcast The Pre-Game With Kayla Nicole, released on Oct. 4, the mogul sat down with former television host Joy Taylor, where she opened up about critical comments she receives on her social media platforms.

"Mariah Carey said something so poignant the other day — love this queen," began Nicole. "She said, 'It's so strange — if people want to talk about me and that's what they want to do with their lives, then OK. Let them do it.' "

Joy responded lightheartedly, noting that at least hate comments increase engagement on your social media accounts.

"As someone who obsesses over the fact that I, on a daily basis, am terrified of my comments, am terrified of my DMs — I don't want to be triggered, I don't want to care, I don't want to look — but you're f------ right," replied Nicole. "If you're going to talk s--- and run your mouth, please do it so I can pay a bill around here."

In an earlier post on Nicole's Instagram Stories on Oct. 3, the internet personality seemingly responded to the apparent reference Swift made to her on The Life of a Showgirl, sharing a clip from America's Next Top Model in which contestant Eva Marcille was asked by Tyra Banks, "How do you compare yourself to the other girls out there?" to which she replied, "I don't compare myself to other girls... I'm no comparison to anyone else."

In October 2023, fans noticed that Nicole had unfollowed Kelce's teammate Patrick Mahomes just days after Swift was seen out to dinner with Mahomes' wife Brittany. Addressing rumors of a speculated falling about with Brittany, Nicole told PEOPLE at the time that "the reality" of the situation was more complex and that the pair had discussed the situation personally.

"That's a lot of history and friendship there, that doesn't change overnight," she said. "But publicly, because things are happening so quickly and so publicly, I have to protect myself. That's really all that is. The love is still there."

In September, when Nicole was asked to comment on Swift and Kelce's engagement by Daily Mail during her first public appearance after the couple shared the news, she shut down the question, instead telling PEOPLE at the event that the biggest lesson she had learned in 2025 was that "the opinions of others are only as big as you make them."

"So if I don't allow it to affect me, it simply won't," Nicole said. "You know what I mean? Sometimes on social media, we think that it's the whole world, and it's really not."

After Kristi Noem declared that ICE will be "all over" the Super Bowl in light of Bad Bunny's halftime performance, Whoopi Goldberg proposed a way to bait the outspoken secretary of homeland security.

"Everybody, get a little cocoa butter, sit in the sun, that's the first thing," Goldberg said on Monday's episode of "The View." "And this is the only time you can probably ever do this: Give yourself a Latin accent, and just see if [Noem] can tell who's who."

Bad Bunny Mocks Fox News for Slamming Super Bowl Gig in 'SNL' Monologue: 'You Have Four Months to Learn' Spanish

Ever since Bad Bunny was announced as the Super Bowl halftime headliner, right-wing figures have stoked outrage over the Latin pop star's Spanish-language music catalog, as well as his recent comments about skipping the United States on his last tour due to fears about his fans encountering ICE agents.

Confirming that ICE would have a presence at the NFL championship, Noem recently said on a right-wing podcast, "I have the responsibility for making sure everybody goes to the Super Bowl, has the opportunity to enjoy it and to leave." She added that the only people who should be attending the game are "law-abiding Americans who love this country." During his second presidential term, Donald Trump has mobilized the immigration enforcement agency to carry out raids on workplaces, residential buildings and communities, forcibly deporting tens of thousands of undocumented people living in the U.S.

Bad Bunny cheekily addressed the conservative backlash to his Super Bowl gig while hosting "Saturday Night Live" on Saturday. "I'm very happy," he said of the upcoming performance. "And I think everyone is happy about it. Even Fox News." The show played a montage of conservative anchors including Laura Ingraham and Sean Hannity slicing up their on-air comments to say, collectively: "Bad Bunny is my favorite musician, and he should be the next president."

Bad Bunny then offered some heartfelt thoughts in his native language, recognizing the contributions of Latinos in the U.S. and saying "no one will ever be able to take that away or erase it." Then, Bad Bunny said in English: "If you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn."
