LeBron James Joins DX Fan Joel Embiid, Signs With Philadelphia 76ers

LeBron James is joining the Philadelphia 76ers, officially announcing his decision on Friday.

LeBron will join Joel Embiid, a long-time wrestling fan who has been fined for using the suck it taunt after baskets. Triple H has also done the intro for Philadelphia 76ers games.

From LeBron:

I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn’t ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and decide if I still love this game. I still truly love this game, and I have more to give.

The last few weeks have really been special. I’ve never been able to have no clue what to do and take real time to just think. I’ve had an incredible few months with all the people I love trying to figure it all out. This is my last decision. I’m not going for money. I’m not going for family. What am I really playing for at this point?

I still want to sacrifice. I still want to work. I still want to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning another championship.

I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.

Thank you LA. Miami I’ll forever love and Northeast Ohio will always home!
