LeBron James decision takes plot twist thanks to Miami Heat owner Micky Arison

For the past few days as LeBron James continues to make his decision between the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, the Heat have been the ones that have reportedly been feeling down about their chances to bring the star back to South Beach. The rumors of LeBron returning to Cleveland have been rampant, and the Heat have been on the outside looking in.

Well as the night time hit on Thursday, those prospects seemed to twist back into the favor of the Heat, and team owner Micky Arison may have given a heads up to everyone that Miami’s chances of keeping LeBron are rather good.

Late Thursday night, ESPN’s Chris Broussard tweeted out that the Cavaliers’ chances of landing the King are slowly dwindling, a tweet that was immediately favorited by Arison.

As much as Cleveland fans may not want to hear this, especially for as high as they got their hopes today, LeBron leaving Miami isn’t as certain as they thought earlier in the day.

James spent the past few days out in Las Vegas at his amateur camp with friend and teammate Dwyane Wade, and the two have flown out of Vegas together, heading back to Miami before LeBron will make his way to Brazil for the World Cup Final this weekend.

The decision is looming, and the Miami Heat’s prospects are looking better and better on a day where they started out looking as hopeless as possible.
