At last, LeBron James<\/a> has chosen the team for his next chapter, the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>. His decision to sign this two-year deal was not an easy one, as James detailed in a series of posts about how he felt like he “was done when the season ended”.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
“I thought I was done when the season ended,” James said via X<\/a>. I wasn’t ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and decide if I still love this game. I still truly love this game, and I have more to give.”<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

How Well Does LeBron James Fit With The Philadelphia 76ers?<\/h2>\n
James’ decision came amid his dropping hints about joining the Sixers at Fanatics Fest, with the veteran of 23 years reportedly “irritated”<\/a> by Adam Silver’s pressure to announce his decision sooner, as well as “slow-playing”<\/a> it based on whether any of his suitors would trade for either Kyrie Irving<\/a> or Anthony Davis<\/a>. His decision to sign with the Sixers was first announced by the trading card company, Topps.<\/div>\n
