LeBron James Is Signing With the Philadelphia 76ers

LeBron James is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $8 million contract!

LeBron is 41 years old and going into his 24th NBA season. Although he is, of course, not in his prime anymore, he can definitely still play at a high level and has one of the greatest basketball minds ever. He can definitely still contribute in multiple ways to any team he joins, even if that doesn't mean being as ball-dominant as he used to be.

The 76ers are already an extremely talented team!

The team already has:

• Jaylen Brown (5x All-Star)

• Tyrese Maxey (2x All-Star)

• Joel Embiid (Former MVP and 7x All-Star)

• VJ Edgecombe (3rd in Rookie of the Year voting last season)

and now 4x MVP and 22x All-Star LeBron James!

The Sixers have not won a championship since 1983, but their roster is looking prettty good. 👀

The 76ers were already looking really good going into next season, but this move could maybe make them a real contender. (if they can stay healthy)

LeBron wants the chance to win another championship, and this will be his last chance to do so.

Below is LeBron's full message on his decision to join the Sixers:

"I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn't ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and decide if I still love this game. I still truly love this game, and I have more to give. The last few weeks have really been special. I’ve never been able to have no clue what to do and take real time to just think. I’ve had an incredible few months with all the people I love trying to figure it all out. This is my last decision. I’m not going for money. I’m not going for family. What am I really playing for at this point? I still want to sacrifice. I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning another championship. I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time. Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!"

This will be a really exciting 76ers team to watch, and it will be interesting to see how they all play together and how far they can make it!

That's all for now, folks! ✌️
