"LeBron is coming to Philadelphia. As Governor of the great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and a loyal fan of the '76ers,' I hereby declare July 24th LeBron James Day," Shapiro announced on social media. He shared a document acknowledging James's "exceptional career," underscoring his four NBA championships, four MVP awards, 22 All-Star selections, three Olympic gold medals, and his status as the NBA's all-time leading scorer. At 41, James has reportedly agreed to a two-year contract worth $8 million with the 76ers. The deal includes an option for a second year, allowing James to decide whether to extend his stay in Philadelphia. Last season with the Los Angeles Lakers, he averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game.
