LeBron James is joining the Philadelphia 76ers in hopes of bringing a title back to the city for the first time in 43 years, which is something that Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley knows a little bit about.
Granted, when Barkley arrived in Philly ahead of the 2024 campaign, the Eagles were only on their seventh year removed from the franchise’s most recent championship. However, he steamrolled into town and through the NFL schedule, tallying 2,005 rushing yards and 15 total TDs and helped Philadelphia get back to the promised land.
Now, at 41 years old and going on 42, James will attempt to be the final piece of the Sixers’ puzzle after the team acquired Jaylen Brown in a blockbuster trade at monster value earlier this summer. And Barkley, who recruited James to the City of Brotherly Love publicly earlier in the free agency process is here for all of it.
Barkley sent a message to the four-time MVP and four-time NBA champion via social media on Friday, July 24 following James’ bombshell decision to join the 76ers on a two-year contract.
“Welcome to the city!” Barkley wrote on X. “Let me know when you tryna tee it up 🏌️♀️⛳️ @KingJames.”
