LeBron James Has Officially Joined The Philadelphia 76ers

LeBron James is officially leaving Los Angeles and taking his next chapter to Philadelphia after deciding he still has more basketball left to play. The 41 year old superstar will join the 76ers on a two year, $8 million contract with a player option as he continues chasing another NBA championship before retirement.

James said he considered walking away after last season but realized he still loves competing and believes he can help Philadelphia become a title contender. The move gives the 76ers one of the greatest players in NBA history as they look to end a championship drought that dates back to 1983.

LeBron’s decision ends weeks of speculation about where he would finish his legendary career. Now, he gets one more chance to make a deep playoff run and bring a championship back to one of basketball’s most passionate fan bases.
