Excerpt from ‘LeBron James' 'The Decision': Five things you may not know about infamous ESPN special’ article by Jordan Greer:
The original idea for "The Decision" didn't come from James, a member of his inner circle or a TV producer. It was actually a fan suggestion from a Bill Simmons mailbag.
An email from a man identified as Drew of Columbus, Ohio, landed at the top of the November 2009 mailbag and asked, "What if LeBron announces he will pick his 2010-11 team live on ABC on a certain date for a show called 'LeBron's Choice'?" Simmons agreed the event should be televised and proposed a pay-per-view option.
"I'm pretty sure they'll pony up $44.99 for 'Decision 2010: LeBron's Verdict,'" Simmons wrote.
Simmons later pitched the special to James' business partner Maverick Carter at the 2010 All-Star break, according to ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr., who chronicled the genesis of "The Decision" as part of the network's "Backstory" documentary series. ESPN didn't immediately greenlight the idea, but it eventually reached an agreement with James.
