LeBron James gave a sellout crowd a glimpse of his "connection" with new teammate Tyrese Maxey when James threw down an alley-oop jam in his Sixers home debut.
LeBron James energized a sold-out Philadelphia crowd with a two-handed dunk off a half-court pass from Tyrese Maxey during his preseason home debut for the 76ers on Friday night. The 41-year-old forward finished with eight points and eight rebounds before Philadelphia fell 125-120 in overtime against the Boston Celtics. The game marked James' first home appearance in Philadelphia since signing a two-year deal with the team in July.
The contest also featured Jaylen Brown scoring 20 points against his former team following an offseason trade to Philadelphia. James entered his record 24th NBA season after spending eight years with the Los Angeles Lakers. The 76ers will begin their regular season on Tuesday against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden before hosting the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday.
