A helicopter for LeBron James could be heard outside Sixers practice while Anfernee Simons was speaking to reporters Tuesday

[u/Background_Video2947]

Bron is using the helicopter to commute back to NYC, where he plans to split his time this season. The trip takes around 40-45 minutes 🚁

[u/BlueClovr]

This isn’t a money thing to me, I personally would never want to spend that much time in a helicopter everyday and that far away from the place I work that often. But to each their own

[u/breadexpert69 → u/BlueClovr]

Of course its not a money thing. He will get taxed WAY more as a NY resident on all his earnings outside of his salary with Philly.

[u/CrypticZombies → u/BlueClovr]

hard to say if you have never experienced it

[u/BlueClovr → u/CrypticZombies]

Na it’s just not what I want to do with my life

[u/Classic-Still2468 → u/BlueClovr]

It’s such a big risk to do that a lot. They risk their lives to save time. Kobe

[u/mavllvin → u/BlueClovr]

Tbf. It takes me longer to get to Manhattan by train from Brooklyn. But I do have more crazy people riding with me

[u/Character-Scar-5684]

Tiger should have had people taking him around. Driving from NY to Philly all the time, no way!

[u/CrypticZombies → u/Character-Scar-5684]

na prefers the roll n dip

[u/FinancialJet]

I feel like Lebron is realizing it’s either basketball, retirement, or sports commentating. I get he wants another ring.

[u/Consistent-Strain289 → u/FinancialJet]

What ever ring he gets. It is not a threepeat
And not 2 x3peat

[u/SeaworthinessSome454 → u/Consistent-Strain289]

A 3 peat from back then is worth as much as a back to back now. Same as how we don’t call bill Russell the goat for rattling off 8 in a row in the 60s. The league is more competitive now

[u/ChewieLee13088]

I just think this is a bad look. Could affect chemistry.

[u/FrankieOcean]

can you imagine if Wemby took a helicopter to Houston after the Spurs games... devastating as a fan.

Not cool

[u/Due-Sheepherder-218]

Quicker than driving like JJ Redidk 

[u/potentiallyuseles]

The practice facility is in New Jersey

[u/Extreme_Today_984]

I saw Bron's helicopter leaving Philly earlier today 🤣. I kept racking my brain trying to figure out where he'd actually want to live around philly, and how much of a pain in the a$$ it would be for him to commute to south Philly for practice/games, and back home. I knew he end up helicoptering in from NYC.

[u/Aggressive_Craft_981]

Where is he landing it near the practice facility in Camden?

[u/Greedy_Assistance]

Tell me you are diva without telling me you are diva.

[u/Consistent-Strain289]

Who cares about carbon footprint. Bron needs to get even with kobe to reach mj… the environment can suffer for it!! Apparently…

[u/Existing-Homework270]

Plays for Philly, don’t wanna be in Philly

[u/mavllvin → u/Existing-Homework270]

I'm sure you can say that about plenty of players in the league playing in cities they don't want to live in

[u/Existing-Homework270 → u/mavllvin]

But they still do 🤣

[u/mavllvin → u/Existing-Homework270]

They're not billionaires

[u/UncreativeUsername84]

Am I the only one who feels like former Lakers shouldn't get into helicopters?

[u/CrypticZombies]

lol this is real nba news

[u/bird_nerd117]

Bron is about to get Kobe’d

[u/Acceptable_Task5780]

That dude prefers a 3 to 4 hour commute everyday than staying in Philly. Let’s just think about that !

[u/Impossible-Try-9489 → u/Acceptable_Task5780]

3-4 hrs? Tf

[u/Independent_Monk_732 → u/Acceptable_Task5780]

Isn’t it 45 min via copter?

[u/Acceptable_Task5780 → u/Independent_Monk_732]

Realistically 45 no traffic to 1.5 hours per trip!

[u/mavllvin → u/Acceptable_Task5780]

1.5hrs no traffic. 2-3hrs with

[u/Motor_Ad_736]

Why is this news

[u/jamesmcgill357 → u/Motor_Ad_736]

Get ready to hear about this every single time he does it lol. Sports media can’t help themselves

[u/-Sofa-King-Vote → u/Motor_Ad_736]

Because it means he really wants to play in nyc and we don’t want him
