The\u00a0league’s all-time leading scorer spent the last \u200ceight seasons of his \u200cglittering career with the Los Angeles Lakers, leading \u2060them \u2060to a title in 2020 after two separate stints \u200bwith the Cleveland Cavaliers and four years with the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“This is my last decision. I\u2019m not going for \u200bmoney. I\u2019m not going for family. What am I \u2060really playing \u2060for at this \u2060point? \u200bI still want to sacrifice. I still want to work. \u200bI still want \u2060to grind. I still want to compete, to win and to have a chance at the feeling of winning another championship,” James wrote on social media.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I \u2060believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship \u2060team and I am so excited to energize a new fan base and start this incredible journey one last time.”<\/p>\n
