76ers Celebrate James’ Arrival with Coronation Photo Fit for a King

On Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers announced LeBron James signed a two-year contract worth $8 million, with managing owner Josh Harris "thrilled" about pursuing their first NBA title since 1983.
Philadelphia acquired Jaylen Brown three weeks ago, assembling a roster with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe that James deemed too strong to pass up in his quest for a fifth NBA title.
State Representative Morgan Cephas circulated a co-sponsorship memo on July 24 recognizing that date as "LeBron James Day," citing the superstar's talent, leadership, and longevity inspiring generations of athletes.
James posted on X Friday that he believes he can "energize a new fan base," while Harris said he cannot wait to see the superstar alongside the talented roster to deliver a championship.
The 41-year-old NBA all-time scoring leader begins his record 24th campaign joining a storied franchise shaped by Julius "Dr. J" Erving and Allen Iverson, aiming to end Philadelphia's 43-year championship drought.
