NBA历史得分王勒布朗·詹姆斯周五宣布加入费城76人队 [1][2]。41岁的詹姆斯签署一份800万美元的两年合同 [2]，将开启他职业生涯第24个赛季 [2]。
詹姆斯表示这是经过深思熟虑的决定。他在声明中说，"我相信我能帮助费城76人队成为一支总冠军球队" [2]，并强调 "我不是为了金钱。我不是为了家庭" [2]。这笔交易对76人队来说极具吸引力——相比詹姆斯上赛季近5300万美元的薪资 [2]，他的新合同薪资大幅下降 [1]。
詹姆斯的目标是在76人队赢得职业生涯第四个不同球队的总冠军 [1]，这将创造NBA历史纪录。费城上一次获得NBA总冠军是在1983年 [1][2]，而自2001年以来还未闯过第二轮 [2]。上赛季76人队战绩为45-37，在第二轮被纽约尼克斯队横扫 [2]。
詹姆斯职业生涯已征战23个赛季，共获得4次NBA总冠军、22次全明星、4次MVP以及4次总决赛MVP [2]。他职业生涯平均得26.8分、7.5篮板、7.4助攻，超过1,600场比赛 [2]；上赛季平均得20.9分、6.1篮板、7.2助攻 [2]。
76人队目前阵容包括乔尔·恩比德、泰瑞斯·马克西以及新加盟的2024年总决赛MVP杰伦·布朗 [2]。
LeBron James announced on Friday that he is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers, marking what he describes as his final career decision in professional basketball [2]. The 41-year-old All-Time leading scorer in NBA history will enter his 24th season after spending the previous campaign with the Los Angeles Lakers [2].
James signed a two-year contract worth $8 million with the 76ers [2]. According to one account, his salary with Philadelphia is approximately $3.9 million [1], though another source reports the full two-year deal at $8 million [2]. The significant discount from his prior season—when he earned nearly $53 million [2]—underscores his commitment to the move rather than financial motivation [2].
In announcing his decision, James stated: "I believe I can help make the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team" [2]. He emphasized the nature of his choice, saying "I'm not going for money. I'm not going for family" [1][2].
The 76ers are assembling a roster around three-time All-Star Joel Embiid and All-Star Tyrese Maxey, recently acquiring Jaylen Brown, the 2024 Finals MVP [1][2]. The team finished last season with a 45-37 record and were swept in the second round by NBA champion New York Knicks [2]. Philadelphia has not won an NBA championship since 1983 [1][2].
James brings a decorated resume to Philadelphia: four NBA championships, 22 All-Star selections, four MVP awards, and four Finals MVP honors across 23 completed seasons with averages of 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.4 assists over more than 1,600 games [2]. Last season, he averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 7.2 assists [2].
