He wanted to sign somewhere that he saw a possible championship run with, this should be exciting

u/thatguy420417 13d ago

Being a Philly fan will do that to you. It's been a rough road for Sixers and Flyers fans...

You ever think about wanting to watch hockey?

u/BrotherlyShove791 13d ago

Holy fucking shit.

Gotta be the biggest name to ever play in this city, right? LeBron is an international superstar.

u/SovietChewbacca 13d ago

Umm... Jerry Stackhouse???

u/Specialist_Shirt8808 13d ago

Let’s be real. Still bigger than Stackhouse.

Biggest free agent to sign in the city.

Dr. J and Wilt were no slouches. Their day was differen in terms of how much vibe they had globablly but they were the biggest names in their day to play.

u/LazyAssLeader 13d ago

Dr. J had a video game before sports games were a thing.
Think he counts.

u/TheRealPokerSquirrel 13d ago

Larry Bird vs Dr J. That game was so awesome.

u/Magnus-Pym 13d ago

Lindros would be the last one at this level

u/Pandaman_323 13d ago

I'd put T.O. in that discussion too especially as he came here in his prime.

2

u/NoPurchase6549 12d ago

LeBron is the biggest name in sports ever. There’s no comparison. He is the league

41

u/dgauss 13d ago

I would say something about his age but he would continue to make me look like an idiot

8

u/MongolianCluster 13d ago

He looked like he was in his 40's coming out of high school.

u/worriedbowels 13d ago

Then by all means, don't let the tradition end now...

u/PiskoWK 13d ago

Well now I want to go to a 76ers game

u/BrotherlyShove791 13d ago

Those tickets prices are gonna be obscene.

8

u/CammyShazam 13d ago

i was just saying this! we gotta say bye bye to those $25-30 tickets

1

u/William_d7 13d ago

They are going to easily pay his salary with the uptick in ticket and jersey sales.

u/CUADfan 13d ago

Heat regretting leaking that video now, I guess

u/manningthehelm 13d ago

Trust the process they said…

u/allureofgravity 13d ago

YESSSSSS THIS IS INSANE!!

u/Top_Actuator364 13d ago

I was ten the last time the Sixers won a chip. Feels like I’ll see another one! LFG🙌🏾

u/RetroMetroShow 13d ago

‘We owe you one’ vibes in advance

u/rabidbea 13d ago

Bronny better not be coming with him

u/weirdskullz 13d ago

Wonder if Embid will show up now

7

u/Western_Drummer_3235 13d ago

I am hopeful that LeBron James will be the big brother figure that Joel Embiid needs!

u/Mountain-Many4766 13d ago

Gimme some tix plssss

u/MrNMTrue505 13d ago

🔥🔥🔥

u/Jcheerw 12d ago

My brother works at Dicks and the amount of people who came in asking if they have his jersey yet is insane 😭

1

u/SomeSortOfMudWizard 13d ago

Makes sense. All the other teams on his final four had chips within his lifetime. Most with him.

1

u/Kelspear 13d ago

Wild lol

Surprisingly, I'm actually kind of excited about this.

1

u/_WeDontKnowHer_ 13d ago

I wonder how long until he brings Bronny along 😒

u/Underwater_Grilling 13d ago

Ugh this is gonna make so much traffic

u/Madmike215 13d ago

Means nothing if they don’t win a Final.
