Free agent LeBron James gives no clues about his decision after appearance at Akron University

LeBron remains mum on decision

AKRON, Ohio — A pointed finger, smile, chuckle and head shake. That was all.

If LeBron James has made up his mind, he’s not saying so.

The NBA’s most wanted man offered no clues about his highly anticipated free agent decision on Monday after making an unexpected appearance — and getting in a few full-court hoop games with good friend Chris Paul — at his Nike skills academy at the University of Akron.

After working out for two hours and then icing both his knees and right elbow, James, wearing a white T-shirt and his familiar New York Yankees cap, headed toward the door of Rhodes Arena.

On his way out, he was asked by The Associated Press if he had anything to say.

James pointed toward a reporter in the balcony, smiled and shook his head in amusement. He then drove away in a white Bentley, one of seven vehicles in a caravan that included Paul, manager Maverick Carter, business partner Rich Paul and security personnel.

Carter also declined comment to The AP.

James, who is considering offers from the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls and at least four other teams, was not expected to appear at the first day of the camp, which features some of the nation’s top high school and college players. However, not only did James show up, he got in a spirited workout that included shooting drills and scrimmages.

James guarded Duke’s Kyle Singler and Dayton’s Chris Wright during the 5-on-5 runs that were watched by everyone in the gym.

He was in a good mood and spent part of the time joking around with Paul and former Cavs teammate Damon Jones.
