As a lifelong Philadelphia 76ers fan, I had mixed emotions when the team signed NBA superstar LeBron James as a free agent over the summer. On one hand, he is an immense NBA talent and megastar, and this kind of thing doesn’t happen to the Sixers franchise, ever. And even though he is in the twilight of his career at 41 years old, James’s recent level of productivity, combined with the team-friendly contract he signed, instantly makes the team a title contender. My reservations, however, stemmed from the fact that he is just so darn unlikable and a staunch left-wing political acolyte.
And James took less than one game in a Sixers uniform to validate my concerns.
