Future Hall of Famer and greatest player of all time candidate LeBron James will play the final two years of his NBA career with the Philadelphia 76ers. ESPN insider Shams Charania announced James’ decision to sign a two-year, $8 million contract on Friday, July 24.

James, 41, has a championship ring from each of his three previous teams, is a 22-time All-Star and the league’s all-time leading scorer. While he’s nearing the end of his career, James remains a proficient scorer and passer. He’ll join fellow stars Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey in Philadelphia, giving the 76ers a high level of both depth and talent.

His team-friendly contract will preserve roster flexibility for Philadelphia, and players around the league will want to play with James as he writes the final chapter of his storied career. Here’s the triumphant reaction from 76ers fans to the news that they won the offseason.
