LeBron James opens up and explains why he chose the Philadelphia 76ers in free agency over the summer.

LeBron James expresses that the absence of the 2020 Lakers championship parade still weighs heavily on him, rating it a 20 out of 10 on the scale. The six-time NBA champion acknowledges his six-year tenure with the franchise, which he describes as one of the most renowned in sports history. Despite initial skepticism from some, James embraced the opportunity to be part of a historic team, a challenge he never forgot.

The Lakers' expectations for championship victories were clear, and winning the title with his team in Los Angeles was an unforgettable experience for him. Even the Sports Illustrated cover featuring him alongside other Lakers legends left a lasting impact on him. The prospect of missing out on a parade to celebrate their victory still bothers him profoundly.
