I can’t believe it. Almost 10 million people wanted to watch LeBron James announce that he was going to Miami. My question is why? Sure, he announced it, but sources leaked it earlier in the day.
The Nielsen Co. estimates that 9.95 million people watched LeBron James announce on ESPN that he’s leaving Cleveland to play for the Miami Heat, making it the third-most-watched program on cable television this year.
“The Decision” that aired Thursday night ranks behind the 12.3 million who watched the NFL Pro Bowl and 11.2 million who watched an episode of “ICarly” on Nickelodeon in January.
