LeBron Joins 76ers, City Goes Wild | Sports News
Description
LeBron James is officially headed to Philly, signing a two-year, $8M deal with the 76ers — a move that’s sending shockwaves through the city. The basketball legend chose Philly over other options, joining forces with Joel Embiid and surprise trade pickup Jaylen Brown. Reactions erupted instantly: Sixers guard VJ Edgecombe meme’d LeBron’s iconic “Smiling through it all” pose, while Governor Josh Shapiro declared it “LeBron James Day.” Philly icons Dawn Staley and Saquon Barkley also welcomed him. After a disappointing conference semifinal exit last season, the 76ers now boast a stacked roster with sky-high expectations. Preseason kicks off Oct. 10 against the Celtics — and the NBA just got a whole lot more electric in Philly.
