The Philadelphia 76ers officially unveiled LeBron James on Monday, announcing that the NBA's all-time leading scorer will wear his familiar No. 23 jersey.
The 76ers marked the announcement with a social media post showing James' blue No. 23 jersey hanging in his locker alongside a crown, a tribute to his longtime "King James" nickname.
"I cannot wait to see LeBron alongside Jaylen Brown, VJ Edgecombe, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and our talented roster as we work to deliver a championship for Philly," 76ers Managing Partner Josh Harris said in a press release.
"To LeBron and his family: We are grateful you chose the 76ers and look forward to this next chapter of your legendary career. Welcome to the 76ers!"
