On Friday, news came out that the Philadelphia 76ers had landed four-time NBA Champion LeBron James.
At 41, he still remains one of the elite players in the league.
Last season, James had averages of 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 51.5% from the field and 31.7% from three-point range in 60 games.
ESPN’s Shams Charania wrote: “BREAKING: LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option, Klutch Sports Group and Klutch CEO and Game Over show host Rich Paul tells ESPN.”

Looking At The 76ers
The 76ers are coming off a year where they beat the Celtics in the first round of the 2026 NBA playoffs.
They then got swept by Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks in the second round.
Despite many talented teams, the 76ers have been unable to reach the Eastern Conference finals since 2001 (when they still had Allen Iverson).
