LeBron's decision a passage to Philly | Arkansas Democrat Gazette

LeBron James’ decision becomes a passage to Philly as the NBA scoring leader commits to the Philadelphia 76ers after considering retirement. In a social media announcement on Friday, he said it would be his “last decision,” coming after strongly weighing ending his career. At 41, James is set to sign an $8 million, two-year contract on the veterans’ minimum, per ESPN, and he earned nearly $53 million last season with the Los Angeles Lakers. He wrote he was “done” after his 23rd NBA season but said he still loves the game and has “more to give.” James posted on Instagram a highlight reel set to Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares,” and Fanatics sold his No. 23 jersey for $125 within hours, with delivery not expected until late August. The Sixers went 45–37 and were swept in the second round by the eventual champion New York Knicks, and have not won since 1983.
