LeBron James has another ring. 
 
 The Miami Heat star married Savannah Brinson at the posh Grand Del Mar Hotel in San Diego on Saturday, according to two people familiar with the details of the ceremony. 
 
 About 200 guests were present for the ceremony, said one of the people, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because the wedding was private and the couple had yet to release any details. The ceremony was the highlight of a three-day celebration that will conclude with a brunch on Sunday. 
 
 James and Brinson, 27, have been together since high school and have two sons. James, 28, proposed just after midnight on Jan. 1, 2012 in Miami Beach, flanked then by many of his teammates _ just as he was again Saturday night for his wedding. 
 
 Intense security measures surrounded the wedding, and even some of the invited guests were unclear on some specific details in the days leading up to the long-awaited event that came less than three months after James and the Heat won their second straight NBA title. 
 
 Guests were ushered into the wedding areas under the cover of tents, and television footage taken by news helicopters showed that even umbrellas were used to protect the identity of those arriving. Heat owner Micky Arison, coach Erik Spoelstra and many of James' teammates including Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were on the guest list. 
 
 And while some with ties to James, such as Wade and his actress girlfriend Gabrielle Union, tweeted that they were in the San Diego area for a wedding, none released any details Saturday night _ since one of the many rules of the wedding was believed to be that no phones would be allowed. 
 
 Brinson spoke briefly with AP about the wedding last spring, saying she was both excited and nervous. James has only discussed the wedding in general terms, once describing his role as only to ensure "that Savannah gets whatever she wants on her day, the wedding day she always dreamed of." 
 
 James, a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player, and the Heat will open training camp next month. In June, they outlasted the San Antonio Spurs in seven games to capture the championship.

 AP Sports Writers Tim Reynolds and Tim Sullivan contributed to this report. ||||| All indications are that LeBron James is leaning toward signing with the Miami Heat on Thursday night, according to several sources with knowledge of the situation. 
 
 Barring a late change of heart, sources say James has decided to join fellow All-Stars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to form a potential NBA powerhouse. 
 
 James will make his announcement from the Boys and Girls Club of Greenwich, Conn., during an hourlong special called "The Decision" on ESPN at 9 p.m. ET Thursday. Sales of sponsorship for the program will go to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. 
 
 Wearing a lavender shirt and jeans, James arrived at the club about 8:50 p.m. and entered through a side door, missing most of the crowd. As folks realized it was James exiting a van, the crowd of about 400 people began chanting "New York Knicks, New York Knicks," then switched to "LeBron James." 
 
 James, in a T-shirt and shorts, showed up at a basketball camp he sponsors at Cleveland State University in midafternoon with former teammate Damon Jones. James nervously chewed his fingernails while watching some high-schoolers play. He stayed a little more than an hour before heading off in a white Bentley, presumably on his way to the airport. 
 
 He did not speak to a reporter, but said "thank you" to some coaches in the stands who wished him luck. 
 
 Some of college basketball's top coaches were on hand, including Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, North Carolina's Roy Williams, West Virginia's Bob Huggins and Syracuse's Jim Boeheim. 
 
 Chris Paul, one of James' best friends, has urged him to stay in Cleveland and let new Cavaliers coach Byron Scott coach him, according to sources. With such strong sentiment around him to not go to Miami, it's possible James could alter his decision. 
 
 James' family and friends are divided over his decision to play in Miami, according to sources. Opinions range from understanding his desire to play with All-Star teammates, to feeling he is selling himself short by joining Wade's team, to concerns that playing on such a power-packed squad will hurt his brand even if he wins championships. 
 
 "I'll believe it when I see it," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said while at James' camp. "In the end, it's going to be tough for LeBron to turn down what he has here, but there could be some championships for him down there." 
 
 James worked hard to help the Cavaliers improve their roster, sources said. He tried to sell Bosh on the idea of going to Cleveland, but the 6-foot-11 forward was adamant he did not want to play in northeast Ohio. 
 
 While sources close to James insist his heart is in Cleveland and remaining with the Cavaliers was his preferred choice, they say he had concerns about signing a six-year deal there and ending up "31 years old, with bad knees and no title." 
 
 If James does announce he's leaving the Cavaliers, police in Ohio are preparing for civil unrest. 
 
 A source told ESPN's Shelley Smith that police are increasing patrols in downtown Cleveland and around LeBron's house in Bath, Ohio, calling in officers in neighboring cities. 
 
 Bars and restaurants throughout the region are hosting "LeBron Watch" parties featuring dunk tanks, beer specials and poster giveaways. Frank Borally, owner of The Purple Shamrock bar, says he'll pick up the food tab for anyone who stays from 7 p.m. until the announcement is made -- if James chooses the Cavs. 
 
 "Hopefully, I have to pay. I want to pay. I don't care if it's $3,000," said Borally, whose bars are downtown and in suburban Willowick. 
 
 But the fans are prepared for the worst. 
 
 "If he leaves, and says so on national TV, it would be the cruelest act imaginable," said resident Bill Plagens of suburban Rocky River. "Pure evil." 
 
 ESPN.com reported June 28 that James, Wade and Bosh held a scaled-down version of the free-agent summit originally suggested by Wade to seriously discuss their futures. 
 
 Sources in the initial report told ESPN.com that the sitdown took place in Miami during the weekend before July 1, when free agency commenced. That was subsequently denied by Henry Thomas, agent for Wade and Bosh. In reconfirming Wednesday that the three players did convene for at least one face-to-face meeting, sources now say the three players met in Ohio on James' turf on the Saturday before the NBA draft. 
 
 James averaged 29.7 points for Cleveland last season; Wade averaged 26.6 points for Miami; and Bosh averaged career bests of 24.0 points and 10.8 rebounds for Toronto. 
 
 By joining the Heat, James would leave nearly $30 million on the table, unless the Cavaliers agree to an unlikely sign-and-trade. The Cavaliers could give him a six-year, $128 million contract, while Miami can offer him only a five-year deal worth up to $99 million. 
 
 Wade does not know what the terms of the next contract he'll sign with Miami will be, nor when he'll sign the paper. Bosh doesn't have terms of his next deal done, either. It's all contingent on what James says Thursday night, and Wade insisted he knows nothing about what the two-time MVP will say. 
 
 Players could not sign new contracts until Thursday, but Miami fans were not afraid to show their excitement for the potential South Beach dynasty. Season-ticket sales for the Heat's coming 41-game season were suspended Thursday afternoon after the entire supply of available seats was sold out. Not every seat has been released for sale yet and some will be held back for single-game purchases at the 19,600-capacity arena. 
 
 Asked why he didn't agree to a sign-and-trade that would have paired him with James in Cleveland, Bosh said he decided Miami was the best choice. 
 
 "I wasn't sure if LeBron was coming back [to Cleveland] and I just wanted to leave that decision up to him," Bosh said. "I wanted to choose the best situation for me and my family, and Miami was the best decision for me." 
 
 The salary cap released Thursday for the 2010-11 season is just more than $58 million, about $2 million more than teams expected, and that extra money could be yet another free-agency edge for the Heat. 
 
 "We'll see what the best thing is for us to win," Wade told The Associated Press. "I'm going to make a lot of money, no matter what happens. I've been blessed. I'm not counting every dollar and every cent. Let's sit down, let's see what the best thing is for us, for the long haul." 
 
 Boeheim, who was an assistant coach on the 2008 gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic basketball team that included James, Wade and Bosh, said he has no doubts the three superstars can coexist on the same NBA team. 
 
 "All three can play together, they played together for us and they were great," Boeheim told ESPN.com's Andy Katz. 
 
 "If he goes to Miami it clearly gives him the best chance to win. They could easily play together. They are all good friends and they all like each other. Bosh can play off each of them. He doesn't need to be the main guy. You can alternate down the court -- one time LeBron takes it, Dwyane takes it the next time. I don't think it's even an issue," Boeheim said. "We had all of those guys and Kobe [Bryant] on the court at the same time and we did all right. Anybody who says [they can't play together] doesn't know what they're talking about." 
 
 Miami came into free agency with what turned out to be roughly $46 million of cap space, not including $16.5 million or so earmarked for Wade, thanks to years of avoiding just about any deal in which money would have been committed for the 2010-11 season. 
 
 "We want to build a dynasty," Miami Heat president Pat Riley had told fans entering free agency. 
 
 By scheduling his special show and essentially putting a deadline on himself to make an announcement, it would appear that James has made up his mind. If he does, however, change his decision, the Cavaliers, the New York Knicks and Chicago Bulls all would be possibilities, according to the sources. 
 
 Knicks president Donnie Walsh, an executive with nearly 30 years in the NBA, understood all the fuss surrounding James' decision. 
 
 "It's something new, but we're in new age," he said. "I don't remember Michael Jordan ever becoming a free agent. I don't remember Larry Bird becoming a free agent. I don't remember Magic Johnson becoming a free agent. It would've been the same back then if they had, but that never happened."

 HEAT 121, THUNDER 106 
 
 
 
 MIAMI — LeBron James danced the last few precious seconds away, soaking up the moment and waiting to take a confetti shower. The one-time child prodigy, with a smile you could see from Cleveland, was a kid once more. 
 
 
 
 And finally a King. 
 
 
 
 PHOTOS: LEBRON, HEAT WIN NBA TITLE 
 
 
 
 “It’s about damn time,” James said when it was over. “It’s about damn time.” 
 
 
 
 A few weeks shy of the two-year anniversary of his infamous made-for-television special, “The Decision,” James delivered on his promise to bring an NBA championship to Miami. 
 
 
 
 LUPICA: LEBRON'S HEAT WILL TORMENT KNICKS LIKE JORDAN'S BULLS 
 
 
 
 Only time will tell if he ever lives up to “five, six, seven” titles he once predicted, but at least James and the Miami Heat have something to build on. 
 
 
 
 Title No. 1 for James was clinched on Thursday night as the Miami Heat overpowered the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder, 121-106, in Game 5 of the NBA Finals. James, who uttered the phrase, “I’m going to take my talents to South Beach” when he announced he was leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers after seven seasons to sign with Miami, punctuated his first championship by recording a triple-double. 
 
 
 
 LAWRENCE: KING JAMES SILENCES CRITICS WITH RING 
 
 
 
 “This right here is the happiest day of my life,” James said from the podium after embracing his mother, Gloria. “It’s a dream come true.” 
 
 
 
 The world’s best all-around player also pulled off a rare double by being named NBA Finals MVP in the same year when he was MVP of the regular season. 
 
 
 
 It was a fitting encore to the “LBJ Redemption Tour,” which started when he admitted that he should have handled his exit from his home state of Ohio with more class. James also publicly acknowledged that he failed miserably as the Heat lost the NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks in six games last season. 
 
 
 
 “I was a selfish player,” James said. “I was a selfish person.” 
 
 
 
 The hurt from that performance served as motivation for James to return this season as a better, more mature player. He was dominant during Miami’s playoff run, which began with victories over the Knicks, Pacers and Celtics. 
 
 
 
 Overall, he scored 30 or more points in 13 of 23 playoff games, including two games against the Thunder. He was averaging 29 points in four Finals games, but with the Heat in control for a majority of Game 5, James didn’t need his A-game. And yet, he still ended the season with 26 points, 13 assists and 11 rebounds.

 When Erik Spoelstra cleared his bench with 3:01 to play, James hugged veteran teammate Juwan Howard before raising his right index finger to the crowd. He was then mobbed by his teammates and coaches when he got to the bench. 
 
 
 
 Chris Bosh, who left the Toronto Raptors as a free agent two summers ago to join James and Dwyane Wade, added 24 points while Wade scored 20. 
 
 
 
 “This is why we came here,” Bosh said. 
 
 
 
 “We came here to win a championship.” 
 
 
 
 The Heat also got a huge performance from Mike Miller in what could have been his final game. The veteran shooting guard is suffering from a serious back injury and he may be forced to retire. 
 
 
 
 If so, Miller, a class act, went out in grand style. He scored 23 points and made 7-of-8 three-point shots. Point guard Mario Chalmers, the hero of Game 4, added 10 points and Shane Battier had 11. 
 
 
 
 It was a disappointing finish for Oklahoma City, which reached the Finals by beating three quality opponents: the Mavs, Lakers and Spurs. But after Game 1 of the Finals, the Thunder lost four straight and at times played like a young team in its first Finals. Oklahoma City had only one three-game losing streak during the regular season.

 Kevin Durant finished with 32 points, and Russell Westbrook 19 for the Thunder. Sixth Man of the Year James Harden, who struggled throughout the series, scored 19 points, reaching double figures for the second time in the five games. The Thunder trailed over the final 42 minutes while Miami went up by 27 in the fourth quarter. 
 
 
 
 Through it all, Heat president Pat Riley sat emotionless for much of the night in his customary seat across from the Miami bench. Riley’s decision to resign as Knicks coach following the 1994-95 season has paid off handsomely for the Heat. Miami has its second title in six years, which gives the franchise as many trophies as the Knicks, who began play in 1946-47 and last won in 1973. The Miami Heat entered the league in 1988-89. 
 
 
 
 “I hope to see OKC again,” Riley said from the podium. “I think we will.” 
 
 
 
 James and the Heat may just be getting started. At 27, James is in the prime of his career and after losing in two previous Finals appearances, he appears to be more comfortable in this setting. James’ teams went 2-9 in his first 11 NBA Finals games. He has now won four straight and the throne is his. 
 
 
 
 It’s good to be the King.
– LeBron James put a ring on it: The Miami Heat star married longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson yesterday, sources say, in a hush-hush wedding at San Diego's Grand Del Mar Hotel. The couple, who have two sons, have been together since high school, reports the AP; James proposed on New Year's Day 2012. James' teammates, including Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, were on yesterday's guest list amid high security. And who needs a DJ? TMZ reports that none other than Beyonce and Jay Z serenaded the newlyweds with "Crazy in Love."
