i was tryna see where lebron is and then i remembered he’s bald
Always was
I wonder how much money Bron dumped into fighting the baldness. He put up a good fight for decades
2015 hair plugs gave out in 2019. Good news is he could bring the headband back
It’s crazy where his hairline is at in LeDecision
He never took finasteride for some reason so it was all for nothing
The side effects can be an issue for some.
I read that Fin was a banned substance in most athletics until somewhat recently because it could potentially mask PED use.
All of it. That’s why he’s the new spokesperson for prediction markets
There was probably a 48-hour period in Turkey when he had a full head of hair.
9 is also just weird to see him in
Why is it 9 and not 6 or 23?
I just looked it up cause I didn’t know the answer either. He normally practices wearing 6 but he didnt out of respect for Dr J
He made one pass and I was like ohhhhh
I was able to tell it was him from that fuckass jumpshot
Bro why did I laugh so hard reading this lol
Like seeing your dad enjoy life with his second family
if you think about it, the Lakers would be his third family in Philly would be his fourth lol
How many families buddy hield got
honestly, I see him more as a foster child being passed around families. Where LeBron is more like a father figure that builds up the family then leaves LOL
How many Dennis got? Lmao man is a true rolling stone
Good thing he’s a billionaire, thet’s a lot of families.
Lakers fans thinking they’re the second family while being a forgettable side-piece is very on-brand.
i’m sure kyrie feels the same way 😢
LMFAOOOOOOO
Amazing
Vj at the end 🫣
Philly keeping their pick in 2025 and getting VJ may go down as the most important moment in their franchise history. Philly was dead in the water otherwise
thinking about the version of reality where we dont get VJ is actually bone chilling
I ain’t gonna lie I wanted Ace Bailey but I’m happy we got The Generator
Same exact thing can be said about Maxey
THANK YOU MIKE MUSCALA
For as much that broke against us for a decade it seems like literally everything in the past year or so has broken our way.
The Celtics 3-1 comeback is the craziest piece. Without that it’s hard to imagine Brown, and therefore LBJ ending up in Philly.
Now imagine VJ in OKC

This LeBron fella might prove to be a shrewd signing
If LeBron and Embiid can stay healthy this will be a very dangerous playoffs team, and a very fun one to watch too!
I have doubts that a 42 years old LeBron and a 33 years Embiid can survive a championship run but if they do it’ll be a must watch team.
I understand Embiid health concerns, and Bron has his bangs and bruises throughout the reg season. But LeBron James hasn’t missed a playoff game in his entire career, and has been to the postseason 20 (I think?) times. I wouldn’t worry too much about the old cyborg.
They’re also both in roles where they’d carry a far lesser load than any of their previous playoff runs. I’d be worried about them if they didn’t have prime JB and Maxey to be 1A and 1B on most nights and they can pick and choose when they’ll be the best player in a game.
A championship run would be what, 20-25 games? It’s a challenge even for LeBron.
For sure. But idk after watching the guy for 2 decades and betting Father Time will win the past 4 seasons, especially after how he finished the last reg season and playoffs, I’m simply done betting against the man. Logic doesn’t logic with him in my experience.
I understand the skepticiam about Embiid, but why LeBron? Is he not the one person who to trust with pacing?
Because a championship run is 20-25 games and that’s a lot to ask to a 42 years old starter.
And who in the NBA history has experience that more? Who also has the team to chillout more in the RS?
Fo, fo, fo baby.
I think they’re the favorites by a margin. If they miss LeBron they’re still very dangerous. Less so with embid missing. but I’d plan on one of them being there.
People been having doubts about Brons longevity for the past 7 years.
I hear he is pretty decent at this basketball thing
Try that fancy bs against Tacko Fall.
Who is playing off the Sixers bench besides Dean Wade?
The rook, Simons, KCP, Bona
As a Sixers fan, what are your opinions of the team as constructed?
I like the bench 4 that was mentioned, Justin Edwards can rotate with KCP too. But our biggest weakness (by far imo) is centers behind Embiid. When embiid inevitably misses games, our centers are Adem Bona and Ariel Hukporti. That’s just not good
I wanted us to sign Nick Richards but Miami scooped them us.
It’s the deepest our bench has ever been, and it’s not even a top 5 squad in terms of depth. That’s how bad its been. The 76ers have probably been one of the shallowest teams in the league for the last 10 years, their bench has literally always been terrible, and Andre Drummond is the only semi-respectable backup Center that the Sixers have had in the last decade. This is why Sixers fans get so turnt up when someone blames Embiid for their failures, he’s been surrounded by terrible players his entire career, but the historically bad 6-10th men have been overshadowed by his dominance and the fact that the Sixers often had someone like James Harden, Jimmy Butler, etc. that makes people question why the Sixers haven’t been successful.
That being said, having Anfernee Simons and Labaron Philon means we probably do have the deepest Guard pool in the NBA, but they are definitely lacking in the 4-5 depth, as they always have.
In a weird way, this teams success could actually depend a lot on what kind of reinforcement Dean Wade can add as a big man, given Embiid’s obvious health history.
Love the starters obviously. Think the Wade add is a big deal. Really need Philon to show something for the bench output. I’m confident the team can compete, I don’t think we’re favorites
KCP not being completely washed would be a huge get too. He was a key role player on two dominant championship teams.
Wade off the bench is so much better than him being starting 4. Changed my whole perspective on the signing
They are more than just “starters”. They are all pretty much all stars. 2⁄5 of them will be on the floor at all times. That is the deepest team in the league in terms of talent. They are one competent backup center away from running through the league
Starting 5 is great but I worry about KCP as our only depth at the 2⁄3 and back-up 5. Bona is good in spurts but he really will have trouble staying on the floor in games when Embiid is out.
Yall got Anfernee Simons tho. Oh and Kelly Oubre. Those guys are serviceable.
When the starting 5 is playing together and nobody is injured, they will play literal perfect basketball. Nobody will ever come close to what they achieve together, and you will tell your grandchildren about what you saw.
The starting 5 will be on the floor together for 10 minutes, with 7 in the third game of the season (Embiid will rest the first game, LeBron will sit out the second), and the other 3 coming in the first game of the playoffs. Embiid’s legs will fall off at 8:48 remaining in the 1Q.
As a Sixers fan I love love love our bench. Philon is a demon, I watched him a lot in college and some of him in summer league. He really should have been top 12 in that draft and he will show it. Simons is obviously awesome. Wade is a great backup. Barlow I liked a lot off the bench last year. Backup C is a weakness but imo with the bench around them, they’ll be ok
Backup centers. I’m not too worried about the bench as a whole or the “there’s only one ball.” You can just stagger minutes. Unless Bona takes a massive leap, backup center is my biggest concern.
Edwards man
I will always be an Edwards truther ✊🏼
Edwards, Hukporti
That’s Bench is buns ngl
How? Anfernee Simon’s, dean wade, kcp and Justin edwards all solid rotation players only weakness is backup bigs. Bona and hukporti aren’t great is all
As a Lakers fan myself, their bench is kinda ass too lol
Labaron philon jr, kcp
Oh shit! I forgot KCP signed with them. KLUTCH.
Ain’t he kinda washed rn
no kinda about it lol
No idea. I haven’t followed him since he was traded from the Lakers. I only referenced Klutch because he is represented by them. And he has ties to Bron.
Guards you have Simons, KCP, and Philon
Wings you have Wade, Edwards, KCP
PFs you have Wade and Barlow
Cs you have Barlow, Bona, and Hukporti
With the exception of backup C, I actually think the depth is quite good
we have Jabari too at PF
Yea the backup C minutes will just have to be praying that they can piece some quality time together defensively.. offensively they don’t need much
NBA Champion Ariel Hukporti
Oubre is a Pacer.
They just drafted Labaron Philon tho
Thanks! I’m curious to see how this squad pans out.
Warriors have a better bench than these guys. Maybe most nba teams do
Dawg the warriors starting line up would be a bench unit on an actually good team. Warriors are gonna be so trash this year my man. Probably won’t even make the play-in and if they do that will be considered a massively successful season for them.
Philly has one of the strongest benches in the league
Blood pressure through the roof for no reason. I guess that’s what being owned constantly does to you. Anyway the Warriors had the 3rd most bench points, the Sixers were 27th. Tacko Fall, KCP and Dean Wade won’t make that “one of the strongest benches in the league”
Lol what?😅 Why are you talking about last season like that matters?
Steph is gonna be 39 if he makes the play-in this season lmao and he’s the only player on that team who is even going to be sniffing all star votes. There’s nothing to believe in with them.
Also I like how you’re not even mentioning the guy for Philly who’s currently 4th in preseason 6MOTY voting. Very convenient you didn’t mention him, I’m sure that wasn’t intentional at all.
You will always have at least 2 or the starting 5 on the floor plus the bench pieces.
Hmmm. Idk. Im looking at my Lakers’ bench right now and not feeling too confident lol.
Luka is going to play 40 minutes a night and average 37PPG.
I dont think Luka will have to play 40 a night. Also, guys like AR, Grimes, and even Sexton can handle scoring and playmaking.
This just looks like a bunch of nba players fucking around with no defense
It’s a scrimmage they do every year for the fans with really cheap tickets so yeah that’s exactly what it is.
All star game shenanigans.
This looks like what you would do while your waited for the actual scrimmage to start.
LeBron’s genetics need to be studied
I remember when Dennis Smith tore his ACL they did surgery and found out he was born with an extra ACL, which was helping him be more explosive.
Bron should donate his body to science when he passes.. he probably has an extra heart or some shit
He didnt have a extra ACL, he just didnt tear his ALL at the same time as his acl (most acl tears the all goes with it) so it stabilised his knee and fast tracked his recovery
He literally said he had an extra one
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/i5Ae9JnwECM
Lol or some shit got me rolling
Less eugenics, please.
Scrimmage? We talking bout scrimmage?
this shit lookin wavy
rip to tsunami papi
Wavy baby - silver surfer
Disappointed. Thought it was a real song.
It’s from a real song!
Youtube Music doesn’t have it
isnt this just to get reps in? everyone is going like 30% at most lol
Yea, it’s a light scrimmage to install some of the skeleton stuff they’ve been implementing in camp.
Defense is going like 0%
Why maxey hesitate on the open 3 just to take a 10x more difficult shot lol
He’s just shotmaxxeying
Terry rosier used to do this shit with the heat all the time but he was gambling
Lost it at the gambling part lmao
I assume it’s for practice. He knows he can make the open three but he wants to practice his step back.
Typical 2K random rec player lol
As a Knicks fan it feels like Maxey has a higher percentage on deep 3s, off the dribble 3s, or stepbacks 3s against us as opposed to open 3s
Probably just thought nobody was gonna hustle back in a scrimmage at first
Look I have the same reservations as everyone else, but I do think the commentary has become too overly negative. The starting five of this team would play a starting all-star team very close. They have depth issues at C, and the obvious health questions, but even if Lebron and Embiid are out for extended periods, a starting five of Maxey-VJ-JB-Wade-Barlow is a small but very good unit. And they would still have Simons, KCP, Philon, Walker and Bona/Hukporti off the bench. That’s the worst case scenario gang! That’s still a 45 win team!
Like cmon, is anyone actually positive about this squad? The relentless “but this, but that” is too much. Can I be excited by my team for the first time since 2019?
I fully agree with you. The negativity that is so pervasive around Reddit in general is so annoying.
I’m a Knicks fan and I’m excited about my squad!
other fans don’t want it to work out. all they have are reasons why it won’t work
I think they’ll be a good team. I wouldn’t want to face them in the playoffs
At the same time I don’t think they’ll be a 60+ win juggernaut. And the reality is it’s easy to bet against a team who’s center plays 40% of games and who’s other star will be 42
I don’t think they want to be a 60+ win juggernaut. LeBron knows how to pace a season, Embiid knows that managing minutes and health is critical, JB knows how long a winning season is. The Sixers will play the regular season to set themselves up for the playoffs; maybe low 50s wins as a low-end target, something like the Cavs results last year, with top of the Atlantic as a stretch goal.
They won’t win 60 games - LeBron and Embiid will play 50-65% of games, lock up a 4th or even sixth seed and then largely dominate to the finals. Will probably go six with the Knicks and beat SA or OKC in 6
Lol
They won’t win 60 games because they’ll prioritize pacing themselves and getting to the playoffs healthy rather than being a 1 seed. I think the Knicks will play the regular season the same way.
Except they have 2 other stars and an extremely good young player too
Some of it are people being. genuine but most of the people here are haters.
Don’t come to reddit for real basketball conversations
Lebron isn’t usually out for extended period either. It’s not like he is starting the season with sciatica. He isn’t Joel. This is the most talented team in the league and it isn’t close.
Fans and the media are coping / delusional - this team is going to coast to a title as long as they stay relatively healthy
i think they’ll be really good, but idk about coast. you don’t have concerns about their defense or rebounding? those feel like they could hurt them against good playoff teams
Edgecombe, LeBron in the playoffs, and Brown are good to very good defenders and rebounders - even if they are a top 12-15 defense worst case, this offense is built to do whatever it needs to do against any game plan and will carry them to the title is my belief
You were the 16th best defense last season and added worse defenders than the players who left, could fall into a bottom 3rd defense pretty easily
and this is why people hate on the sixers. Anyone actually thinking, has them as one of the better teams in the east, with some glaring holes. But with injury luck they have a good shot.
Even 100% healthy they have major defensive flaws
In the playoffs, I don’t think the defensive flaws are big enough to offset the offensive juggernaut they will be. Idc about the sixers (I’m a lebron fan) and POA, not great ability to play a switching defense will hurt for sure but the offense will be goated
no one coasts to a title. it doesnt happen.
There’s no way you actually believe that right
As long as they are healthy, no one is stopping this team
Nobody is coasting past the Spurs and Thunder
Saving this
Good - you’ll have plenty of time to keep track after the lakers get bounced in the first or second round
Wanna put your money where your mouth is? $1,000, your 76ers to my Lakers. Last man standing until the playoffs. If my Lakers gets bounced in the 2nd second round, your 76ers should be in the conference finals. You win.
Fam. I’ve been rock hard since LeBron announced he was coming here
KCP and Bron hoops man what a sight
They’ll obviously be a good team but this is essentially all star game level of competitiveness.
I wouldn’t say it was regular season level effort, but if was way above that of an all-star game. Embiid met VJ at the rim and denied a huge dunk. Honestly, something I rather not see him do in a scrimmage game.
Its basically showing Mitchell robinson hitting free throws in an empty gym
Yea i want to see that lakers roster attempt to play defense.
Yi Jianlian looked great against that chair
This shit don’t move me (I’m an eternal hater)
100, they look washed……………………
It’s giving All Star Game
The team is gonna very good I’m sure but this doesn’t say much.
Now if it was the Heat starters looking like this against the Heat bench that would be totally different in my unbiased opinion.
Its the same blue and white scrimmage they have every year
As long as they play the sixers bench every week, they’re good.
Lol the bench was giving the starters work. Watch the scrimmage.
*Spit take*
Yeah Philon was looking very aggressive on D and has an insane handle.
They played 3 separate games and switched the teams up
How much are tickets to open scrimmage?
Free, first come first served. That’s how the Spurs have been doing it at least for the past 20 years or so, so I assume it’s like that for every team
They were actually $10 it’s to support a local cause
this comment couldn’t have been more irrelevant. jfc bub. don’t respond to me.
It was a $10 donation to the Sixers youth foundation.
Love the ball movement!
They look great against the Washington Generals.
Ngl that’s some beautiful basketball
October 20th can’t come soon enough
Can’t wait! Just got my tickets emailed to me 😁
Jeez Mr. Moneybags here
Don’t hate the playa, hate the game baby. I work hard.
Embid looking light and agile. LeBron still the BOSS!!
Have we ever had a starting lineup of all NBA all stars before?
Steph, Klay, KD, Draymond, Cousins
Shaq Malone Fox Kobe Payton; Dwight Gasol Odom/Artest Kobe Nash (how the fuck did we not win smh); Aldridge Griffin KD Harden Irving
Plenty
Cousins was well cooked by then Brodie.
And? That wasn’t the question
He wasn’t a star anymore….
That’s not the question lmao
Warriors when Cousins joined. This Sixers team has not reached that yet because VJ isn’t in all-NBA or all star yet.
How old are you?
59
Old enough that I can’t memorize every single lineup of all the years I’ve been watching
Then why ask?
Billups, Hamilton, Prince, Wallace, and Wallace
Space jam
23-24 Celtics ran out four all stars and DWhite, if you swapped him for Horford it was 5 multi-time all stars
When are you guys going to win something again?
60s Celtics had times when it was five Hall of Famers on the floor at once, never mind All Stars.
In more recent times the 2004 Lakers were close, although. Devean was never an all star
The 2017 warriors are probably going to match this, which is crazy. Iggy is surprisingly seen as basically aHOF lock by betting markets
The early 1970s Knicks started 5 hall of famers, with a sixth hall of famers coming off the bench, and a hall of fame coach. They also had Phil Jackson, who later made the HOF as a coach as well
The Hawks were very close one year: I believe it was Korver, Horford, Millsap, and J.Johnson
See you on classic launch ;)
Yessir!! I’m bringing back my xbowman. Hbu?
according to redditors looking to downplay Brunson’s achievements, the 2026 Knicks were a superteam starting 5 superstars
The crowd in there makes it looks like a regular season game lol
genuinely same amount of people there as an average 1st quarter against the Heat in February lol
A team vs B team what do you expect?
The B team played well, watch the scrimmage
Im not watching a scrimmage
As a history buff, it’s awesome that LeBenedict Arnold is on the 76ers
These guys are going to struggle beyond the arc with this starting 5 lol. But it’ll be really interesting to watch!
It will really come down to VJ.
Maxey is an amazing three point shooter, Embiid is hot and cold but good for a center. LeBron and Brown are below average but at least aren’t complete non shooters.
But they definitely need one more trustworthy three point threat out there and hopefully what VJ showed internationally this summer is real
Volume is the problem. 3PAr+ (100 is league average):
JB: 63
LeBron: 64
Embiid: 55
Maxey: 96
Edgecombe: 98
Volume impacts spacing more than efficiency.
I think this concern will look silly in retrospect. Having so many creators is going to be a nightmare for opposing help defenders. Should lead to plenty of open shots, especially with all the passing on this team.
Why would it be a nightmare to send help when they don’t have volume shooters? In half-court settings teams are just gonna pack the paint. Transition is where this team will be deadly.
I totally agree with the point on volume impacting spacing more than efficiency.
I’m curious about this stat - obviously Embiid launches more 3s than the average center. I’m very surprised by Maxey being rated below league average for volume?? How is that possible? He shot 9 per game.
My biggest counterpoint is that all 5 starters are 100% launching a 3 if it’s open every time. And they’re going to generate a lot of open 3s.
3PAr is the percentage of a player’s (or team’s) total field goal attempts that come from beyond the arc. Maxey was at 39.9% last year. League average was 41.5%.
My biggest counterpoint is that all 5 starters are 100% launching a 3 if it’s open every time.
They’re not though. That’s the point of this metric. This was one of the big frustrations with JB on the Celtics. The offense was constantly generating open threes for him and he would too often turn them into contested middies.
How am I supposed to read this? I don’t understand how 100 is league average. Maxey shot some of the highest volume of 3s in the league last year and he’s below average? Probably because he had such a huge burden on offense so he shot a lot of non 3s as well lowering the percentage?
The other thing to keep in mind is that a lot of these guys are going to have easier looks compared to last year. I know a lot of what keeps maxeys numbers down are the sheer amount of difficult shots he takes. I think with LeBron the shots will be easier and we will have the James Harden effect where everyone will look a little better because of easier shot selection.
a lot of these guys are going to have easier looks compared to last year
LeBron, JB, and Embiid were already playing in contexts where they got plenty of open looks from 3. They simply aren’t high volume guys.
Yeah I agree 100%. I just think that there’s a lot of similarities playing style wise to this starting 5 and they could really use someone who can really catch and shoot off the ball to balance it out.
How so ? Maxey is great shooter, edgecombe is good, brown and James are streaky and embiid is good for a center. Thats enough spacing for most teams
None of them are snipers, but they are literally all above average, I dont think thats gonna be a problem.
Tyrese off ball is definitely a sniper
Maxey is a legit sniper if the team has enough offensive production or he can play off ball. He shot 42% from three when they had Harden in the mix.
JB has shot 35.8% from 3 or worse over the last five season and the last two seasons he’s shot 34.7% and 32.4% on 5.7 shots per game. He is absolutely not shooting close to league average at 3 and this is the main reason, along with his dribble, handle, play making and setting up his teammates, why he was moved this past off season.
Edit: teammates
I Although Brown is not a dead eye 3 point shooter, he is an almost 40% from corner 3. Last 3 season, he shot 38, 44 and 40 from corner 3. He just doesn’t shoot from corner very often .
We are probably not going to ask him to camp on the corner the entire game. But there is a hope that with LeBron and other all star teammates , he will have more opportunity to take easy shots
He just spent the offseason with lethal shooter though….
Looks like someone only looks at stats without context and makes judgements. The amount of open 3s this offense will generate is going to be insane.
No obviously the offense will be strictly 5-out while they all take turns ISOing. /s
They’re a completely new starting 5, how much context can you even go off of? Of course it’s making judgements early but so are you when you say the amount of open 3s this offense will generate is going to be insane. That’s just hypocrisy.
Personally I do agree they’ll generate open 3s in this offense but I think the important distinction is that they’ll get a lot of open 3s off swings for catch and shoots. Can these guys operate as catch and shoot guys at a high level? I worry that this starting 5 is composed of guys who are incredible on the drive and making shots off the dribble. Someone’s game is going to have to make an adjustment and right now, I’m not sure who’s.
Maxey, Embiid, VJ and LeBron have been league average or better for their positions at catch and shoot 3s. Maxey nearly lead the league in 3pt percentage with mainly catch and shoots when Harden was with the sixers.
It’s almost like we have historical data to show this or something.
The league average was 36% overall. All 4 others besides Maxey are below that. Embiid obviously is still higher for a big man overall but you’re not correct.
Also, you’re basing Maxey’s success in that role off of playing with a guy from 3-4 years ago. I think he’ll be a great shooter but you’re still making a lot of assumptions.
Theyre all competent shooters and they are going to be getting wide open looks.
If youre going to concern troll, you may as well talk about the defense and rebounding.
Lol they’ve all hit their 3s so far in this scrimmage.
You do realize this is a highlights video for them right?Even these highlights contain misses from 3 so you aren’t even correct lol.
I’m not judging them off a simple scrimmage. Just off how these guys have played traditionally and that most of this starting 5 is ball dominant.
I’ve watched the full scrimmage (I know you didn’t). These “highlights” are barely even the first half. They were hitting 3s at a good clip from most of the roster. Obviously it’s not a real game and they’re not going 100% lol but it’s not like they’re garbage out there like this sub think they’ll be. The difference between this year and last is a lot more guys will be getting open shots not just contested ones.
“They’ve hit all their threes”
That was YOUR words. And it’s not even true just from the highlight video. I never claimed I watched the full scrimmage. I don’t need to. Your initial comment is still a lie.
i’m more curious about their defense. VJ seemed good last year on that end, i think? (i don’t watch the sixers a ton) but i don’t think maxey is very good on defense. brown can lock in on ball but gets lazy and misses off ball rotations. lebron is a billion years old and can’t try that hard on D most of the time. embiid is okay but much less mobile than he once was. rebounding could be tough too; they’ll be relying on lebron a lot for that next to embiid.
Maxey has been an above average defender for the last two seasons and is a wiz at playing the passing lanes. Bron has enough bbiq on defense to make the right plays and play hard when needed and because Embiid will have less offensive responsibility, he’ll have more energy for defense.
Rebounds are still a question mark, but the rest of your takes aren’t as big of a concern as you might think.
That starting 5 won’t even be on the floor for most of the games. It’s going to be a mix of each of them. It’s up the nurse to find the lineups that work. Last year Barlow started the opener and half our fan base didn’t even know who he was.
Off-ball Maxey is insane shooting from 3. Literally one of the best in the league
Lebron and embiid better get on that lance armstrong drip because they’re gonna be tired next spring
Embiid the odd man out? When and where the shots coming from?
He hit a three earlier and just posterized somebody.
he hit a 3, a layup, blocked vj, and dunked
I think if Embiid can save some energy on offense and not bang in the post all the time and then put that into defense and rebounding we actually could be really good. I think our offense should be fine even if he isn’t MVP Embiid scoring like he’s been. I saw him jump a little for a rebound in one of these. That is sadly something he hasn’t really been able to do much of last couple years and he would usually just try to block his guy out and hope someone else gets it.
Embiid gonna get his touches and shots. The real problem is when he’s been on the court he’s basically takes over the offense and has to be involved in everything. Which wouldn’t be the best for the team this season probably. So that adjustment period gonna be interesting
Probably stretch 5 and less toll on him in the paint
He is going to get so many easy buckets in the PNR and is also a super willing passer now more than ever
Is LeBron wearing #9??
He’s honoring Bronny.
Rest in peace.
He wears that number in practice for some reason. In game number is still 23.
It’s bronny’s number
this is like the teachers vs students, except the students are all toddlers
Bron bald in the sweats 🤣 I see a guy like that at the park every week
I’m so dumb that I just said “wow. Number 7 looks a lot like Jaylen Brown. I wonder who that guy is.” Totally forgot about the trade
Healthy Lebron-Embiid DHO is gonna be a nightmare for teams to guard
healthy embiid… good one!
VJ just has to consistently hit that corner-3
Gonna come back to this at the season end.
RemindMe! 7 months
practice? we talking bout practice???
Man, Bron looks lean!
haters gonna hate but this is fun af
Still LeBron
They’re going 15%
One thing this inadvertently highlights is how fragile the depth is in the frontcourt, and potentially at point guard, depending on how Philon shakes out.
This team can be scary good.
Oh the league in trouble
Uh. They might be a problem.
I do not understand nearly any of the negativity the media has around this team. If any three of these guys are on the court each night it’s a really good team. If all 5 of them are rolling come summer, well……
The 4 vets aside, people who’ve been watching VJ play already know.
We’re missing shots but the important thing is the beautiful ball movement!!
