When LeBron James chose to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers over the summer, many wondered what his game would look like on a squad with a mix of veterans and young talent. They got their answer in a solid debut in the team’s second preseason game on Thursday night (October 8).
LeBron James thrilled the crowd at Barclays Center, who gave him heavy applause as he suited up for Philadelphia against the Brooklyn Nets. James was the center of a new look for the Sixers’ offense, handling the ball as a point forward.
“I mean, it felt a little different,” James said after the game, which the Sixers lost 114-108. “Obviously, just wearing a new uniform, but the game is the game. … And I was happy to be able to log some minutes with the guys that we’ve been going at each other in practice for the last two weeks.”
