The Los Angeles Lakers icon LeBron James revealed the answer of the &lsquo;second decision&rsquo; and it&rsquo;s not retirement.

Coming back to the recent tease, the phrase, combined with the tone of the video, fueled speculations that the 22-time All-Star would draw curtains on his legendary career. This led to a significant surge in the price of tickets to the Lakers game. The average price of the tickets increased from $250 to $500 within the hour James dropped the post.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LeBron James Faces Backlash for &lsquo;The Second Decision&rsquo; Tease&nbsp;<\/h2><p>As soon as &lsquo;The Second Decision&rsquo; turned out to be nothing but a fake sitdown interview where he announced a partnership with Hennessy, LeBron James faced backlash from fans and pundits alike.
