LeBron James has decided to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers after a long free agency. He posted on social media Friday morning, announcing his choice.
James, 41, will be entering his 24th NBA season. The 22-time All-Star has won four NBA championships and four MVP awards in his career. He also has been a six-time All-Defense selection and a 21-time All-NBA pick. The NBA’s all-time leading scorer has averaged 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game in his career. Last season, he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game.
After starting his career in Cleveland, James went to Miami, where he won two of his championships. He then went back to Cleveland and helped them win a title. In 2018, he joined the Lakers, getting them a title. James will now go to Philadelphia to try to help them win their first title since 1983.
In Philadelphia, James will join former MVP center Joel Embiid, five-time All-Star wing Jaylen Brown and two-time All-Star Tyrese Maxey, a rising star in the league. Last season, the 76ers lost in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but now will have ammunition to go deeper in the playoffs.
