Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas reacted after LeBron James teased "The Second Decision" on Monday. Fans quickly speculated that it could be related to his potential retirement. The last time the LA Lakers star had the same approach regarding a career-changing decision was in 2010. That was when he joined the Miami Heat to win his first two NBA titles.

"Get up off that seat. You and that bald-headed man," Arenas began. " Get up. No, we don't want no decision. This is not time for decision-making, okay? The season's about to start.
