Show business! Sports is show business. LeBron James is the hottest person in show biz this hot summer. Tonight, Thursday, on ESPN, at 9 p.m., Eastern, Mr James is scheduled to announce the name of the lucky NBA team that for zillions of duckets will be blessed with his services. Yes, America, Mr. LeBron James will announced his free agency decision. A word to President Obama, if you want the attention of the American people, cool it on your day job and get on the professional basketball court. Challenge Kobe to a few baskets, but LeBron, right now is a little too hot. You may fade in the light of his sun. Who wouldn't? Who else could demand a full hour of national television time to announce where he's going to work?

But I really can't knock LeBron or ESPN. If this is what the public wants, make it available. This is America. The pursuit of happiness is the right of every American, and LeBron is pursuing it big man style. As for ESPN -- what's happening now that is bigger? Not the World Cup? America doesn't care about the World Cup, the USA is no longer in the games. I can't think of anything else that ESPN can cover at 9 P.M. on a summer Thursday night. And I guess it is the right thing to do for ratings.

LeBron James and ESPN are both in the pursuit of happiness, big time.
