So I was trying to get my kid to nap. Then I just heard my phone across the living room going crazy with twitter notifications. I distinctly remember thinking, that's a lot of notifications in a short time than normal. I ran and picked up my phone, and let’s just say my kid never got to nap!

Honestly I was a little down because I knew Lebron was meeting with the Sixers. I think Windy tweeted that he was still considering them.

I went to twitter just to see if any other random player had been signed and I saw the Woj Lebron tweet pop up. I quickly went to the Lebron LG thread and refreshed twice and was surprised nobody had posted it. I went back to twitter and I had to make sure that I didn't just get tricked by a fake . Luckily I didn't and I posted the tweet in the thread.

Dude, you're the man - you were the first to post the news in the Lebron thread. I just happened to see your post literally the minute Woj tweeted it, and I had to do a double take because of how simple the tweet was. I instantly thought it was a fake, too, and checked the Twitter handle. That checked out, then I raced to his actual Twitter feed and there it was

Walked into a restaurant and heard the staff talking about James' career which prompted me to finally check my phone. It's been the busiest few weeks at work so haven't been keeping up with the threads, but it was good to finally see this happen.

I had just listened to the Jump on my earphones while working and put my phone in kitchen and went back outside to sweep patio and clean up. Came back in, picked up my phome and the first 2 messages I saw was "BOOM" and "How excited are you right now?" I knew what that meant!!!

Driving on the 10 west bound at Bundy listening to 92.3 Kday. They said how do you feel about Lebron coming to LA? I almost crashed my car hearing that.

I was sitting in a drive-thru when my phone buzzes and a notification reads:
Breaking: LeBron James agrees to 4-year, $154M deal...
I was so relieved it didn't say Sixers

This is a trick question. LeBron can’t sign until the sixth!
