It took 17 questions, but we now know where King LeBron James is going to play basketball for the next few seasons, the Miami Heat.

Twenty-eight minutes into ESPN's 73-minute infomercial "The Decision," Jim Gray FINALLY asked the question every NBA fan wanted to know, would James stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers or take the free-agent route.

This whole thing was crap. From Stuart Scott fawning over James, to the person who sounded like a poor man's Sean Connery describing the process was just awful.

You know what would have been better? "The Decision" should have been turned into the old game show "Love Connection." Instead of Gray, Chuck Woolery should have hosted and asked the questions. James' suitors would be able to talk about themselves, the audience would have voted for who they thought James should play for and James would have made his decision.

I guess the only good thing is that James didn't wait until the end of the show to make his decision.

ESPN, that sound you heard is the door slamming on your integrity and leaving Connecticut, never to return.

We return you to your regularly scheduled programming, already in progress.
