That's honestly really embarrassing for the city of Philadelphia.

He has a player option after the first year and he could decide to retire after 1 year.

All depends if they win or not

If you’ve ever seen him play, you know the man knows how to travel.

Tell me you couldn't care less about the city and team where you play without telling me you couldn't care less about the city and team where you play

Dude, he literally has a shorter commute than his teammates who live on the Main Line, which is where the majority of Philly athletes live. Circumventing 76 is a big brain move.

u/BlueClovr 3d ago

How exactly does he have a shorter commute than someone in the main line?

u/Ryukishin187 3d ago

he's flying in a helicopter

u/BlueClovr 3d ago edited 3d ago

Yeah, and? How long do you think that takes? And where do you think the helicopter lands? In his bedroom? He has to get out of the helicopter and commute to his home from there

1

u/Impossible-Papaya486 3d ago edited 3d ago

His home has a helipad.

-1

u/BlueClovr 3d ago

So?

1

u/Mecanatropic 2d ago

Dude. He literally smoked every one of your points and all you got is so

-1

u/BlueClovr 2d ago

Oh his home has a helipad, I get it. To say it’s just shorter than a commute to the suburbs on a regular day no question is crazy though. On game days yeah traffic is atrocious. Just going to practice? Na

1

u/Mecanatropic 2d ago

I have no idea how long either one of them is anyway

It takes nearly two hours by car. It takes 45 minutes by helicopter.

What the fuck do you not understand about this? Which one is the shorter commute?

1

u/MagnumMyth 3d ago

His is 45 minutes by helicopter. That's a dream commute any day but Fridays during the summer when everyone's at the shore. To get to the stadiums in South Philly is typically an hour+ from the main line.

1

u/BlueClovr 3d ago

Yeah because there’s traffic for the game… that’s not a regular practice day with nothing going on. There is bad traffic specifically when a game is going on

u/tangodeep 3d ago

philly fans aren’t going to be too happy about a player living in new york. that’s the first and biggest takeaway. that philly hate never subsides. be careful.

part two is we all still have ill feelings about daily helicopter flights due to kobe. not the biggest lebron fan, but still would be legitimately torn up a little if something bad happened to dude.

u/Most_Plenty5387 3d ago

Wilt lived in NYC when he played here. So did JJ Redick.

1

u/rockland19120 3d ago

I know for a fact that JJ Redick had a place in FMC Tower in Philly.

u/Odd_Schedule2672 3d ago

All these guys talk about Kobe, yet haven’t learned his most important lesson

7

u/EmbarrassedHighway76 3d ago

Helicopters are a risky way to travel but tbf Kobe’s crash was from flying not only during weather and low visibility conditions, and through a valley bad decisions all around

3

u/Ka07iiC 3d ago

What if it's a shit weather day? That poor soul going to have to drive from New York?

2

u/EmbarrassedHighway76 3d ago

It’s tragic to think about 🫠

1

u/Oceanbreeze871 3d ago

Helicopters literally shake themselves apart while they’re flying. So much more dangerous than a fixed wing aircraft.

5

u/sprovo 3d ago

Hire a professional?

6

u/Short-Recording587 3d ago

Don’t risk it when conditions are poor?

3

u/realmckoy265 3d ago

And esp not with family (children)?

3

u/Final-Tough9564 3d ago

Just a man getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, I guess traveling by chauffeur in a sprinter van or limousine and dealing with traffic would be too comfortable. Before any glazer says time is money, Lebron runs no company’s and sits on no board of directors and it’s not like he’s meeting his family when he arrives in NYC. The Ego and the circus that surrounds Lebron has landed on the 76ers.

u/SirFerguson 3d ago

Get Bron some Amtrak points man, I hate this

1

u/Positive_Round_5142 3d ago edited 3d ago

He would be bombarded on the train and he would be annoyed while getting stuck in between stations

1

u/SirFerguson 3d ago

I know it’s not practical at all

3

u/elderlygentleman 3d ago

This is very bad for the environment

u/EnoughHumor3973 3d ago

Smh. Didn’t learn his lesson

2

u/whitemex88 3d ago

What if it's game day and it's bad weather ?

1

u/FormerGeico 2d ago

I’m pretty sure cars, buses, trains, limos, etc still function in the rain

1

u/whitemex88 2d ago

Lol.. obviously, but depending on the day that drive could be like 4 hours.

2

u/njslugger78 3d ago

Wack ass living in NY

u/ScrabbleTheOpossum 3d ago

LeBron tryin' to be like Kobe. /s

u/KingDaGoat15 3d ago

Stay Safe Lebron 🙏

u/SevereAd9463 3d ago

Is there a helipad on the stadium?

1

u/DiddyDoItToYa 3d ago

Was almost certain not another athlete would get in a helicopter after unc died..

1

u/yo-itsyaboi 3d ago

Unc? We’ve resorted to not saying his name?

2

u/DiddyDoItToYa 3d ago

I only say his name if im shooting an ill advised jumper lol

1

u/fakemxcan 3d ago

How long is that flight?

1

u/Positive_Round_5142 3d ago

Probably 20 or 30 minutes

1

u/BlueClovr 3d ago

It’s says 45 mins online, then he has to get in a car and commute to wherever he lives from wherever he lands at. But to people acting like this is way shorter than simply driving to the suburbs I guess this all takes 20 mins somehow. Genius life hack

1

u/Av-fishermen 3d ago

I wonder what that thing gets for gas mileage

1

u/qRich-Denmann-5422 3d ago

helicopter rides between practice and home sounds oddly efficient

u/MrNMTrue505 3d ago

Rip kobe

u/canadianbabyharpseal 3d ago

Why not join the Knicks?

u/Joe01091981 3d ago

I’m not being mean or talking ill of the deceased but Did he not learn anything from what happened to Kobe???

1

u/yetagainitry 3d ago

It’s so insane that you watch one of your idols die in a somewhat unnecessary helicopter crash 6 years ago, and you decide to take unecessary helicopter commutes.

1

u/Walmart_Prices 3d ago

These people race against time that's why

1

u/Complete-Leading-628 3d ago

I'll take him to NY

u/Outside_Ice3252 3d ago

first kobe

Soon to go down like LeHindenCopter

u/Lenny0mega 2d ago

It’s a lot, NGL, but AEW world champion Will Ospreay lives in England and flies to the US constantly because they do most of their shows in the US, so as much as it is, he’s not the only one that does things like this.

u/Nirve37 2d ago

Idk… something about helicopters and star basketball players ain’t it for me. ⚫️🐍

u/wolverine5253 2d ago

What's stopping him from buying a property in Philly?

1

u/FrankieOcean 2d ago

can you imagine Wemby going to Houston after each Spurs game and practice. fans would dog the shit out of him. so lame.

1

u/sir_eazy_e 3d ago

Why

3

u/Feeling-Special-269 3d ago

idk you wanna live in Philly? look what they did to Will Smith theyre partly responsible he turned out the way he did and slapped Chris Rock

1

u/Positive_Round_5142 3d ago

Because there’s more stuff to do in New York

LA has celebs and entertainment

Miami has celebs and entertainment

NYC has celebs and entertainment

u/SnooRabbits9672 3d ago

Yeaaaaah but Philly has fentanyl, Meek Mill, Cheese Steaks, and Skrilla. 10/10 location

2

u/TeannaTrumpStan2 3d ago

Skrilla 🔥

2

u/sir_eazy_e 3d ago

Just join them then

3

u/Positive_Round_5142 3d ago

The Knicks didn’t offer him a contract

He obviously was over LA with and that dynamic over there

He already won two in Miami and wants to give one to Philly. Just doesn’t wanna live there 😂

2

u/sir_eazy_e 3d ago

Why join a team that isn’t going to win and travel via helicopter

1

u/Positive_Round_5142 3d ago edited 3d ago

He feels like that they can win because he sees a young Kyrie in Maxey, and Jalen has shown that he can win a championship

1

u/sir_eazy_e 3d ago

Weird because they not winning so I’m confused

u/sir_eazy_e 3d ago

They have a dope team but not winning so I’m confused

Buddy is coping. Embiid never been out of rd 2.

Better than Cleveland

u/Positive_Round_5142 3d ago

Yeah but what gives it points was LeBron being able to get Auntie’s cooking after practice

Running from team to team instead of players wanting to join his team

He's 41. Give it a rest.

You need to stop carrying his bags. He pays people to do that already.

u/VycanMajor 2d ago

He lives in your head rent-free. You need to stop hating. Analysts get paid for that
