LeBron James says he felt different after making his first appearance in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform.
James made his debut in the Sixers’ 114-108 pre-season loss to the Brooklyn Nets, recording 10 points, four rebounds and five assists in 18 minutes.
The four-time NBA champion joined Philadelphia on a two-year deal worth $8 million this offseason, linking up with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown in a star-studded lineup.
Jaylen Brown, who joined the Sixers in a trade from the Boston Celtics, led all players in scoring with 18 points despite the defeat.
“I mean, it felt a little different. Obviously, just wearing a new uniform, but the game is the game.”
“I was happy to be able to log some minutes with the guys that we’ve been going at each other in practice for the last two weeks”.
“We’re still trying to put each other in a position to be successful and complement each other the best way we can out on the floor but it’s going to take some time. Tonight was a good sample size for us to build on” LeBron said to reporters after the game.
