LeBron James joins the 76ers after his "last decision," eyeing one more title See what this stunning move means for Philly, his legacy, and the NBA race
LeBron James says he will play for the Philadelphia 76ers next season, calling it his “last decision” after considering retirement. The announcement came Friday on social media and marks a major change after his run with the Los Angeles Lakers ended last season.
According to reports cited in the article, the 41yearold is expected to sign a twoyear deal worth $8 million US. James said he is not making the move for money, but because he still wants to compete and chase another championship.
Philadelphia would become the latest stop in a career that already includes titles with Cleveland, Miami and Los Angeles. The 76ers have not won a championship since 1983, and James said he believes he can help turn them into a title team.
