Philadelphia's LeBron James knows how to handle a star-studded roster, like what the 76ers built

LeBron James is treating Philadelphia’s new “Big Three” or “Big Four” dynamic with caution, drawing on what happened when Miami tried a star package earlier in his career. After detailing the history of successful super-team trios from Boston to Golden State, the article notes that the Heat’s first season together with Wade, Bosh and James began 9-8 and still required time to gel. Now, with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and James in Philadelphia, James warned against expecting instant results: “Everyone wants instant oatmeal,” he said, arguing greatness requires doing things that feel uncomfortable. Chris Bosh echoed that championships hinge on wins over individual scoring. The article also points to “statistical sacrifices,” including that the roster has multiple 1,000-point scorers and that clutch-shot volume can’t be expected to stay the same.
