Philadelphia 76ers forward LeBron James took one of the biggest risks of his career this offseason. He joined a 76ers team that hasn’t won a championship since before he was born, and now the expectations have risen to that level.
The stakes only increase when considering that James departed from the Los Angeles Lakers, a destination that his family took a liking to. His son, Bronny Jamesstill plays on the team, and the other members of his family also maintain roots in the Los Angeles area.
It was a big risk to join the 76ers when James could have ridden off into the sunset with a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers. He knows that his decision carries the expectation of winning a championship, and he’s excited for the challenge.
