Heat star Chris Bosh and Queen Latifah were also on the guest list of 60 friends and family members.

"When it happens, it happens," Brinson, 25, told Harper's Bazaar of marriage in 2010. "If we do it, I want it to be forever.

The couple have two children: LeBron James Jr., 7 and Bryce Maximus James, age 4.

No wedding date was announced. James and the Heat were playing host to the Charlotte Bobcats on Sunday. Michael Jordan got engaged  on Christmas Day.

Black Family Movies

Cast of  "This Christmas"

School's out; parents have a few days off work; family time is avilable. Why not grab some popcorn and candy and have an at home holiday movie fest?

Here are a few suggestions:

1. The Perfect Holiday
For once, Gabrielle Union doesn’t play a hard-to-get obsessed working woman. This time around she’s a workingwoman, with a rapper ex-husband and mall Santa Claus fighting for her heart, sounds like a win-win to us!

2. This Christmas
God, what are the holidays without a little Loretta Devine motherly wisdom? See some of your favorite stars, i.e. Chris Brown, Regina King, Idris Elba, and Mekhi Phifer.
