LeBron James’ Agent Explains What Changed After Lakers Exit
Eight games into the 76ers’ season, LeBron James’ agent opened up on what the 41-year-old has found in Philadelphia.
LeBron James, now 41 years old and in the midst of his 24th NBA season, continues to showcase his talents with the Philadelphia 76ers following his departure from the Los Angeles Lakers. In a recent interview with NBA Courtside on X, James' longtime agent, Rich Paul of Klutch Sports, offered insight into why James is thriving on the Sixers' roster.
Paul stated that at this stage of his career, James is able to "position himself alongside other guys that can play roles at a high level that give you a real chance of winning," without having to be the sole driving force of the team. This new dynamic has allowed James to focus more on his role on the court, averaging 16.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists in six games.
While his scoring may not reach his career high, the supporting cast in Philadelphia, particularly Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown, is making it a success. The Sixers' impressive 7-1 record and four-game winning streak demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, and James is content with his role as a team player, contributing on the boards and setting up his teammates for success.
