I mean just look at how many times the stock market responded to the war ending

I come from the future…in my year 2089 LeBron currently plays for the new Nashville expansion team. Him and his 10 clones as well as Bronny and Bryce have an iron grip on the conference but he appears to be slowing down and he surely can’t keep it up for much longer. Rich Paul teases a possible Hulu retirement special for 2090.

The Brett Favre method

Taking a page from my local furniture shop that been “going out of business” for the last 10 years eh?

LeAttack on Titan Finale

It worked out ok for Brady. It’s amazing for anyone to make it 20+ years in a pro sport.

At least three im sure lol

Atleast the knicks won’t be able to invade sixer home games anymore

still phillllllyyy

Lebron James, the Philly financier?

LeBron to Cowtown?

Don’t forget the sequel! (which is actually being referenced)

(also, third sequel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIbmT2Rs8vw)

(Also also, thanks for posting that, my memory of these Old Internet classics had been buried so deeply I would not have gotten the reference otherwise)

………….We’re not Detroit!!!

LeSsez-faire

Just use some duct tape to switch the names

Jimmy Butler over me?!

We finally got James not Jimmy

I can just imagine other 76ers fans looking at you from the front being like “ooh nice LeBron jersey!” And you just turn around and show them the name on the back lol

he already did, our preseason game vs boston is $300

Your pic. How?

I really want the 6ers to win the title so we can all blame the Celts for blowing 3-1 and setting it all in motion

started with joel embiid’s appendix

Yea I remember the Danny Ainge days when they fleeced EVERYONE

The one true silver lining for me. Now all I need is for Jaylen to completely ball out and have a better season than Tatum

He didn’t look like it during the press conference

Naw the owners are.

They are the ones who wanted him
Gone.

It was right there.

I’d love to see the reaction of all those people that cancelled their season tickets after the Sixers got swept by the Knicks that are now trying to get back in

I’ll take the over

Let’s see Paul Allen’s economic impact.

There is lot of data…. which is mysteriously not shown.

I remember reading one meta-analysis a year or two back that did have a specific callout for what I will call a “generational athlete” where they create the tourism by itself. The example used in the paper was Jordan, where people who wouldn’t normally travel to Chicago decided to travel there SPECIFICALLY to watch him. It was one of the few positive drivers of economic activity due to sports because it drives consistent outside revenue. LeBron is in that category, and the Philly tourism will absolutely pick up because of him.

The “sources” are also twitter graphics on the level ballsack sports

Do you think people who come and visit Philly will not spend a single dime outside the arena?

Its basic economics. I did a google search, out of 41 76ers home games, a total of 778,871. Let’s just say everyone spent \(50 each outside the arena (bought anything non-basketball related). That's easily \)39M spent. How much tax in Philly? Do the math.

Now, with LeBron, multiply the numbers and that’s how you can estimate how much LeBron generate.

Then airport traffic, ride shares, (hopefully) SEPTA revenue, and sports card sales. I’ve had 3 separate friends ask me to crash in my spare room and catch a game with me this season.

I live in south philly and was in a card shop when the news broke, 5 minutes later they got 3 straight calls asking if they could preorder the Topps sets. 1 person asked if they had any Lebron Philly cards in stock. I hate the 6ers and their suckass team with a fiery passion only outweighed by my hate for the Phillies, but even I fell victim to the Topps NOW bullshit and bought like 5 of them.

There’s a dude on 9th street that sells bootleg t-shirts that will probably be able to retire after this season. If they win a chip, the Mural Arts program is probably gonna end up with like a 10M stimulus

yea. Just people saying wemby or Ant like nope none of these dudes will have the impact bron or even curry will when their careers are over.

bench players don’t get paid a ton, especially in the apron era. a lot of dudes on vet minimums or rookie contracts (especially late picks and second rounders) are underpaid relative to their production.

How does any of that money go to the city of Philadelphia? Like yeah jersey sales increase but they are making it out like the Philly economy is expanding by a quarter billion which is the same bs owners try to say about sports teams when they want a new stadium and every study has proven that to be total bs
