LeBron James on joining 76ers: 'I didn't leave my family to lose in the second round.'

During Monday media availability ahead of the upcoming NBA season, veteran forward LeBron James addressed his choice to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers. James revealed that guard Tyrese Maxey served as a primary factor in his decision-making process after he narrowed his options down to five franchises.

Emphasizing his championship goals, the forty-one-year-old stated that his relocation was not made to suffer an early postseason exit in the second round. James also noted that everyone within the organization shares the same vision and willingness to put in the necessary work.

While acknowledging that building a cohesive unit will require patience and embracing discomfort, he expressed optimism about aligning with Philadelphia fans.
