Summary
- Fake enrollment list for LeBron James' daughter circulated online.
- Sixers fans were briefly convinced LeBron James might join the team.
- The fabricated list used a fictional 555 phone number.
Philadelphia 76ers fans were recently caught in a frenzy over a fake rumor suggesting LeBron James' daughter, Zhuri James, had been enrolled in a Philadelphia school. The social media post, which circulated widely, was intended to hint at a potential move for James to join the Sixers alongside stars like Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey.
However, the alleged enrollment list was quickly exposed as a fabrication. A Community Note on X pointed out that the list included a 555 phone number, a prefix reserved for fictional use in television and film, not actual U.S. phone numbers. This detail revealed the clue to be a hoax.
The incident highlights a common pattern where fans scrutinize any perceived clue when a superstar player like James is considering a team change. James himself has acknowledged that his family will play a significant role in his upcoming free agency decision, fueling the intensity of such speculation. Despite the baseless rumor, James remains a highly impactful player, and the Sixers have reasons to hope for his potential addition.
