  "account": "Olden Polynice, an NBA veteran, has criticized LeBron James for not spending enough time building relationships with his Philadelphia 76ers teammates. Polynice pointed out that James frequently uses a helicopter to commute between Philadelphia and New York, raising questions about how much time he is actually spending with his teammates outside of practice. While the 76ers have a promising roster that could make a deep playoff run, their success depends on the stars meshing on the court, which may be hindered if James prioritizes his time in New York over building chemistry with his Philadelphia teammates.",
  "summary": "LeBron James is freshly new to the Philadelphia 76ers. With his commute plan, a former NBA veteran blasted him for not making time for his teammates.",
