LeBron James' arrival in Philadelphia has sparked championship talk and a team bonding wager. Jaylen Brown proposed a skydiving trip for the 76ers if they win the title.
Brown said on Twitch, "I told VJ, Bron, Max, and Embiid we win the championship everybody going skydiving."
James joins a roster that also includes Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Edgecombe, a top pick from the 2025 draft class.
Edgecombe greeted James by recreating an iconic meme. Franchise legend Allen Iverson, who spent 12 seasons with the 76ers, also shared his enthusiasm for James coming to Philadelphia.
Embiid played a role in James' decision. Only James and Embiid know the full details of their conversations, though Embiid addressed concerns about his health and how they would manage his workload.
A league source close to the situation was direct about what this team needs: "It all comes down to Joel." Without Embiid healthy, a lineup featuring Maxey, Edgecombe, Brown, James and Adem Bona falls short of a championship.
If the 76ers win, Brown's skydiving bet gets collected. If they don't, harder choices follow for the franchise.
