NBA all-time leading scorer LeBron James has joined the Philadelphia 76ers after ending his eight-year spell with the Los Angeles Lakers. James’ move represents a significant pay cut, having earned $52.6 million with the Lakers last season. The four-time NBA champion will now link up with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and recent acquisition Jaylen Brown in a star-studded Philadelphia roster. James spent eight seasons with the Lakers and helped the franchise win the NBA championship during the 2019/20 season. He now heads to Philadelphia looking to add a fifth NBA championship to his career haul as the 76ers strengthen their roster for the new season.
