This is my last decision.

"I am convinced that I can contribute to making the Philadelphia 76ers a championship team," James wrote. He expressed excitement about embarking on this "incredible journey" one last time. The 41-year-old's decision comes after eight years with the Los Angeles Lakers, whom he announced he would leave two weeks prior.

I want to compete and win.

According to media reports, James has signed a two-year contract worth $8 million with the 76ers. His decision to play for the league's minimum salary opened the door for many teams, with the Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, and the reigning NBA champions, the New York Knicks, also considered potential destinations. James has won four NBA championships in his career and last March surpassed Robert Parish's record for the most NBA seasons played.
