LeBron James is 41 years old, entering his 24th NBA season, and playing for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Still weird to type.
We'll be updating this page throughout the season with his stats, Sixers record, best games, milestones and whatever other extremely specific LeBron-in-Philadelphia statistics we decide are important.

For comparison, LeBron finished last season in Los Angeles averaging 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game. Not terrible for a guy who was drafted when Finding Nemo was in theaters.
There are not many opportunities left to track LeBron James doing something for the first time. We're taking advantage of this one.

This is it.
LeBron's first game in a Sixers uniform will also be the first game of his 24th NBA season. Philadelphia opens on the road against the defending champion Knicks.
A perfectly calm and low-pressure way to start this experiment.
Fun fact: across his first 23 season openers, LeBron averaged 24.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists. He's had six 30-point opening nights and one triple-double.
We would accept either.
October 20 — @ Knicks
The debut. Obviously.
November 10 — vs. Warriors
LeBron vs. Steph. We're going to keep watching these until the NBA physically prevents us.
December 25 — @ Lakers
LeBron. Christmas. Los Angeles. Wearing a Sixers jersey. This is going to be extremely normal.
January 13 — @ Cavaliers
Back to Cleveland, except somehow this time Philadelphia is involved.
To be populated once basketball actually happens.
Best game: TBD
Worst game: TBD
Best dunk: TBD
Best pass: TBD
Most ridiculous old-man performance: TBD
Most Philly moment: TBD

Current assessment:
LeBron is a Sixer.
No games have been played.
We remain cautiously irrationally optimistic.
