 Everyone in the basketball world remembers the televised "The Decision" announcement from LeBron James back in 2010 when he told the world that he would "taking his talents" to South Beach and the Miami Heat. 

Now fans of the LA Lakers, and around the sport are wondering just what is this "Second Decision" that he's teasing now on social media? 

"The decision of all decisions: October 7th. 12 pm EST" was his caption. “The Second Decision … Coming Soon.” Hmm.

Could it be a retirement announcement? The 40-year-old is about to start his 23rd NBA season. He has no contract beyond this campaign. 

He even said during Media Day, "I don’t know when the end is, but I know it’s a lot sooner than later.”

That particular speculation around his "Second Decision" tease has led to a soaring increase in ticket prices for Lakers games already on Monday. 

Sports predictions site PlayProphet says there's a 52% chance that the announcement is his retirement. 

But, knowing LeBron, there are many other big "decisions" he could be stirring up conversation for, including, who knows... A new documentary he's producing? A new major business venture he's planning to undertake? 

We'll all be watching on Tuesday to see what James has up his sleeve next. 

LeBron has four MVP awards, four NBA championships and four NBA Finals MVPs. Last season, he was still near the top of his game, averaging 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists.
