There’s finally a silver lining to the Knicks’ championship for the Sixers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
LeBron James confirmed Monday that he would have joined the Knicks this summer had they not won a championship last year. The New York Knicks annihilated the Sixers in the second round of the playoffs en route to snapping their 53-year championship drought last season. The vibes around Philly were Decidedly Bad after that humiliation, particularly since Knicks fans overtook the Wells Fargo Center for Games 3 and 4 of that series. But on Monday, LeBron James managed to retcon that gut-punch into
LeBron James finally reveals why he chose to sign with the Sixers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tyrese Maxey, Jaylen Brown and Joel Embiid were all major draws to King James. LeBron James will officially speak for the first time as a Sixer on Monday at media day.

Here’s where they checked in this year: Before getting too bent out of shape about where any of the
Sixers go soaring up ESPN’s latest Future Power Rankings (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Sixers went from 19th last year to eighth this year in the latest edition of ESPN’s Future Power Rankings. Every year, ESPN rolls out “Future Power Rankings,” which are its “projection of the on-court success expected for each team over the next three seasons.” After one of the greatest offseasons in franchise history (if not the best), the Sixers unsurprisingly went soaring up the latest edition of the rankings. Heading into the 2024-25 season, the Sixers were fourth (!) in the future power
