LeBron James has announced his decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers ahead of the new NBA season. James, 41, left the Lakers after 8 seasons and will be featuring in his record extending 24th season. 76ers already have the likes of Joel Embiid and Jalen Brown, and will aim to end their Championship drought.
LeBron James has ended the suspense around his future and decided to sign for the Philadelphia 76ers. The 41-year-old was an unrestricted free agent, having left the LA Lakers in search of a new challenge. James signed a two-year deal with the aim of winning the title, with 76ers beating the likes of Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers.
"I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time. Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!" LeBron James posted on social media.
The 41-year-old signs a two-year, $8 million contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, with a player option for the second year. The 76ers are James' 4th team after Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers. LeBron won at least one championship with each of his teams and will hope to do so in Philadelphia, who last won the championship in 1983.
James added that his motivation to join a new team was not driven by money but his hunger to add to his 4 championship rings.
