LeBron James Makes His 'Last Decision'

LeBron James has picked his fourth NBA home—and it's a surprise he calls his "last decision," reports the AP. The 41-year-old has agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, announcing the move Friday on X after weeks of public uncertainty about whether he'd keep playing at all, reports NBC News. "I still truly love this game, and I have more to give," he wrote, adding that "I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time."

James heads to Philly after parting ways with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he spent six seasons and won a title in 2020. The upcoming season will be his 24th in the league for the four-time champion, four-time MVP, and all-time scoring leader. Drafted No. 1 overall in 2003, he's already collected championships in Miami, Cleveland, and LA, and made 22 All-Star teams. Last season, in a reduced scoring role, he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists over 60 games—numbers the 76ers are betting can still tilt a playoff race.
