@DevonBirdsong You clearly don’t understand Philly. The fact that he chose Philly over other the other teams, make him an instant hero. Getting us past the second round once in two years will earn him a statue.

Let’s be real, he’s getting booed unless the Sixers win the title.
However, I remember Philly fans booing the 2018 team during their 1st regular season game the year after a title, so even then he might not be safe.
Hardwood Paroxysm@HPbasketball
there is a very strong possibility it's April and Sixers fans are booing LeBron in his last game
English
@WajahatAli Clown take. He will be playing competitive basketball with a chance to win a title with his 4th team. End a 44 year draught in the best sports city in the country capping off the greatest career in basketball history. Not just playing on the senior tour with no chance to win.
English
Epic fumble. Ruined the back end years of one of the greatest players of all time.

LeBron’s decision to go to Philly forces the Warriors to face some hard truths. For the first time in years Steph and co. walk into the new year without championship expectations. nytimes.com/athletic/74691…

@TheWarriorsTalk The comparison to kd would be lebron joining Knicks. Not even close. Lebron joining the team that hasn’t gotten past the second round in a quarter Century, js not the same.
English
When KD joined the Warriors it was framed as "ring chasing", but when LeBron joins the Sixers the narrative switches to "winning is the priority".
English
@TheHeatCentral Wow! Maybe Westbrook and you can run back the 20 win kings.
English
After missing out on LeBron,
Would Heat fans be happy with a DeMar DeRozan signing and Klay (if he gets bought out) to round out the Heat roster? 🤔
English
@ClayTravis It’s not hard to act with class to all people. Some current media and presidents should learn a thing to treat all people with respect.
English
President Obama tells Caitlin Clark not to let the media nonsense get her down and that she’s a great player. Then asks for a picture with her. Left wing narratives are in shambles here. Good for Obama.
English
You said the HEAT lack shooting? Let’s compare projected starting lineups:
Sixers: Heat:
Maxey: 36.7% Davion: 39.5%
Edgcomb: 35.4% THJ: 40.7%
Brown: 34.7% Wiggins: 41.4%
Lebron: 31.7% Bam: 31.8%
Embiid: 33.3% Giannis: 33.3%
Average 3pt %:
34.36% 37.34%
Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

@JameyBaskow Might make Philly a more desirable city, especially those with nmc.
English
The Sixers sign Lebron James
Now might make Flyers fans more impatient. They got a big fish, now Flyers fans say "When will it be us."
Different sports, but still
#Flyers
English
dude holy shit VJ Edgecomb development is nuked 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
English
@danpfeiffer @ASDem As a sixer fan getting to the conference finals would be broad street celebration worthy. Trust me, he doesn’t have ring or bust pressure in Philly. It’s ecf.
English
@ASDem Title chasing is good, but no one goes to the Sixers to chase titles! That would be absurd. They haven't been to the conference finals in a quarter century and are an incredibly cursed franchise.
English
@YaronWeitzman As a sixer fan I was telling friends he can commute like jj reddick did. Been done before and he can stay in a hotel at times. Family will probably love it and nyc and nj area have some of most prestigious schools in the world.
English
I also have a feeling we're going to learn soon that he's living in NYC. Which is something I don't think anyone on the outside thought about or mentioned over the past few weeks
Jon Krawczynski@JonKrawczynski
In choosing Philly, LeBron clearly did value winning over all else. Did he make the right choice? We will see. I will always wonder if Boston didn’t gift wrap Jaylen Brown to Philly if he would have chosen Minnesota. Ah well, nevertheless. Fun season incoming.
English
@andrewsharp Embiid has played more games in last 5 years and is a way better player when both on the court. Sixers do no trade for ad. He also wants to be extended.
English
Formal request to the Washington Wizards: Do not, repeat DO NOT, under any circumstances trade Anthony Davis for Joel Embiid
English
@barstoolsports @BobbyMilone29 Ty for trading us jaylen brown for allowing us even to have a 10% chance to get lebron. Really if the Sixers win the championship (unlikely), the Celtics should raise the banner for making it possible.
English
“This team is not going to win…it’s going to be fucking delicious”
Dave is a HUGE fan of LeBron to Philly
English
@jacksettleman They need a reliable back up center. They now have 9 rotational players. I didn’t realize 14 were needed
English
The Sixers got better today, I can admit that
But LeBron is not a good fit for Philly.
The depth is still a major question mark
And of course, Embiid’s health in a long playoff run can’t be counted on
It takes a TEAM to win a championship…
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
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.

LeBron statement
Honestly I think this is best for the Miami Heat
LeBron era was in the past
This is Giannis’ team now
LeBron James@KingJames
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 deicide if I still love
English
@ClayTravis Stick to being annoying with everything you say and get back to kissing someone a$$.
English
LeBron picked the Sixers, the least interesting and least relevant of all his options. Just retire already, bro.
English
@WadexFlash Why hasn’t he signed? Weird. Giannis is awesome. He will need to play 80 games though for them to be top 4 in east.
English
The Miami Heat can offer LeBron James the most money from his list of teams:
Miami - $7M
Cleveland - $6.1M
Golden State - $3.9M
Philadelphia - $3.9M
Minnesota - $3.9M
Bron would also have the best player in Giannis and defender in Bam if he were to join Miami this summer.
Legion Hoops@LegionHoops
It’s becoming increasing likely that LeBron James will have to sign the minimum with the team of his choice this summer, per ESPN. Damn.
