LeBron James ended his time with the Los Angeles Lakers after eight seasons, during which he managed to win a historic championship in the midst of the pandemic, in 2020. However, at 41 years old he still wants more and is looking for a new opportunity to become champion with the Philadelphia 76ers.
With the 76ers, he has signed a two-season contract and will share the locker room with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey or Jaylen Brown, making them clear title contenders, which would make him the first player in history to win championships with three different franchises, after those achieved with the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers.
That said, although his career is marked by his success in the NBA, LeBron James has also built a small career in Hollywood, taking part in films, documentaries, television series, and animation projects.
