‘There was only one…’ Colin Cowherd points out health reason why LeBron James chose Philadelphia
After reports about LeBron James’ health problems emerged this week, Colin Cowherd has explained why that was likely his reason for choosing the Philadelphia 76ers. LeBron James did not play in the Philadelphia 76ers’ preseason game against the New York Knicks.
Colin Cowherd believes that the health issues of LeBron James were the primary reason behind his decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers. The 41-year-old basketball legend has been experiencing discomfort due to arthritis in his left foot and sciatica in his back. These conditions have forced him to miss his team's preseason game against the New York Knicks. Before joining the 76ers, LeBron James had to deal with a late-season start last year due to the same issues.
Cowherd pointed out the Sixers' roster, which boasts a young and athletic team, including Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and VJ Edgecombe. In his opinion, this made the Philadelphia 76ers the only suitable choice for LeBron James. He quoted Socrates, saying, "Know thyself", which James clearly did while considering his 41-year-old condition.
James will have to manage his workload this season due to his health issues, but the Sixers have enough star power and bench players to help him through it. Fans remain hopeful that the 24th NBA season won't be too hard on James.
