LeBron James has made a significant move, signing a two-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers. This decision marks a new chapter for the basketball icon, as he prepares to finish his illustrious career in the City of Brotherly Love.
The basketball superstar received an enthusiastic welcome from Saquon Barkley, a former Penn State standout and current Philadelphia Eagle. Barkley publicly greeted James via social media, expressing his excitement for the signing and even extending an invitation to play golf.
Barkley's own arrival in Philadelphia two years prior was a major event in the NFL, where he went on to have a career year, rushing for over 2,000 yards and helping the Eagles secure a Super Bowl victory. Another former Nittany Lion, Abdul Carter, a New York Giant, also celebrated James's move to the Sixers.
However, not all former Penn State athletes shared the same sentiment. Micah Parsons took to social media to question the trend of players not joining Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. All eyes will now be on how James integrates into the Sixers' roster and Barkley's potential golf outings.
