BRISTOL, CT (AP) – LeBron James' decision is going prime time.

The NBA's superstar free agent will reportedly announce where he'll continue his career during a hour-long special on ESPN Thursday night.

ESPN's Chris Broussard is reporting James' “representatives” contacted the network and asked for the unusual arrangement.

Network officials says they have not been told what James' decision will be.

James is proposing that a portion of the advertising revenue be donated to the Boys and Girls Club.

His decision will likely break loose the logjam of the dozens of free agents still on the market.

ESPN is also reporting Chris Bosh has decided to join the Miami Heat and play alongside Dwyane Wade, citing a “person with knowledge of the situation.”

Henry Thomas, the agent for both Bosh and Wade, did not return calls or e-mails early Wednesday from The Associated Press. Calls to Wade and two representatives for the 2006 NBA finals MVP also were not returned.

The ESPN report did not specify if Bosh was simply signing with Miami or if a sign-and-trade with Toronto would occur.

If Bosh signs, which can't happen until Thursday at the earliest, it would be a huge coup for the Heat. Wade said when free agency began that he would likely only stay in Miami if the Heat lured either Bosh or James to South Florida.
