Have pro athletes scooped LeBron's Thursday night ESPN press conference?

NESN (and others) today pointed out Twitter messages from the NBA's Jared Dudley and NFL's Chad Ochocinco saying that LeBron James will sign with the New York Knicks, as Forbes' Mike Ozanian predicted in May.

Jared Dudley:

"Breaking News!!! My sources tell me Lebron will announce that he will be goin to the NY KNICKS tomorrow on ESPN.. This is serious.. WOW!!!!"

Chad OchoCinco:

*Empire State of Mind* *wink* *wink*only the smart folk will put this together and figure out what i am talking about #6

This afternoon The Post reported that LeBron's Thursday night press conference will be held in Greenwich Conn., which again points to the Knicks--maybe even the Nets.

Last week Forbes released an exclusive Knicks' study showing that LeBron would likely make $1 billion playing in New York. Latest rumors suggest the Knicks' PowerPoint presentation might have proved very convincing.
