    No, I don’t know where LeBron James is going to play next season. In the past week I’ve been asked that question in online chats. I’ve been asked on air. I’ve been asked off the air, by everyone from make-up women to chefs. I even was asked about LeBron by singer John Legend on a red-eye flight.

    I can only guess based on what I’ve been told, and what I’m told by people I consider reliable keeps changing. So that’s why there’s no definitive statements from me.

    But I do have my belief about what should and shouldn’t factor into his decision. With apologies to a former “Around the Horn” host, these four things I know are true:

    I disagree with the one premise of this article - and that is you don't need to be in a major market

    This is true to a point but being in a major market is about perception , and consequently , primo brand . Individual brand and all the physical branding that runs off the back of that

    OK so he already has all that in Cleveland anyway

    He may be able to leverage it even more in a major market , and , there is one only one major market that gives him the best chance to leverage the latent element a Global brand that MJ built by default while he was building his own brand in the 90's

    And that's Chicago
