In a bold move to counter the New York Knicks landing Carmelo Anthony yesterday, the cross-town New Jersey Nets made a bold statement by landing a superstar of their own in Deron Williams.

We caught up with Deron Williams during the past NBA All-Star Weekend to talk about video games. Williams plays all EA Sports games but wouldn't name names as to who the best gamer is on his team.

LeBron James picks… The Miami Heat. The superstar told Jim Gray on “The Decision” live on ESPN in front of the Boys and Girls Club in Greenwich, Connecticut that he was leaving his hometown to join fellow superstars Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in South Beach with the Miami Heat. "This fall, I'm going to take my talent to South Beach and join the Miami Heat," said Lebron James. The Akron-born James left his hometown club that drafted him No. 1 pick in the 2003 draft. Rumors swirled all week since free agency started on July 1st and even before that for the last two years. Teams like the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat cleared salary cap space and dumped players to make a play for James. Six teams made pitches coming to Cleveland to present their best reasons for James to come to their teams.
