Don't miss first take Friday live from the Fanatics Fest at the Javitt Center right here in New York City. Steven A. Mad Dogg. They got a picture on a promotion. I don't believe it. I didn't even know you were going to be there Friday. I'm thrilled. That first time ever they put a picture on a promotion. And look at that photo of you. How long ago was that? Nice job by McKinnon.

This is news to me. I can't wait. We're excited for Friday. You can't be pleased, but here we go. Here we go. All right, as we continue here on first take, the LeBron watch continues, as each passing day, the King could be inching closer to deciding where he is going to play next season.
