Teletopez Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 (edited) @kingjames LeBron James has made one decision — he joined Twitter. The NBA's most ballyhooed free agent opened an account on the social networking site Tuesday. Publicist Keith Estabrook confirms the monicker kingjames is indeed LeBron. James had been reluctant to join Twitter or Facebook and had even joked in the past about how other athletes discussed their personal lives online. Close friend Chris Paul posted on Twitter at midday Tuesday that while he couldn't persuade James to tell him which team he'll sign with, he talked him into joining the service. Less than an hour after Paul's tweet, James had nearly 18,000 followers — even though he had yet to make a single post.Link **Couldn't convince him to tell me which team he's goin to but convinced him to join twitter lol...my brother from another mother @KINGJAMES@oneandonlycp3 Edited July 6, 2010 by Waldo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owner Real Deal Posted July 6, 2010 Owner Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 It's ridiculous that this is actually news, and that ESPN is making this out to be BREAKING NEWS. Dang man, every time I refresh the page he gets like 30 more follows. That's CRAZY.I hope he used his real email address, so it gets FLOODED with Twitter mail notifying him of each new follower. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
