LeBron James said he ruled out joining the New York Knicks after their championship win over San Antonio, fearing criticism for choosing the reigning champions. He is now with the 76ers after leaving the Lakers following eight years with the team.
James said he had pictured playing at Madison Square Garden and ending his career there, describing it as one of the best arenas he had played in and, for a basketball player, the world’s No. 1 arena.
The 76ers have also added Jaylen Brown. A championship would be James’s fifth and Philadelphia’s first since 1983.
