As one of Klutch Sports’ premier clients, Maxey shares a strong connection with James that could help convince the 41-year-old to join Philadelphia.
“A key factor in any sort of Philadelphia pursuit of LeBron is Tyrese Maxey — not only because of his talent, but because he is one of Klutch Sports’ core clients and is basically part of LeBron’s extended family,” Windhorst said.
“There’s a longstanding relationship between Tyrese Maxey and LeBron because of Klutch. They recruited Maxey out of college, have nurtured him throughout his career, and they’ve been to many events together. Joel Embiid also won a gold medal with LeBron on Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, and that team definitely has a close bond.”
Tyrese Maxey to help 76ers recruit LeBron James?
Shortly after stunning the entire NBA by acquiring Jaylen Brown from the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers have made their move yet again by expressing interest in LeBron James.
After informing the Los Angeles Lakers that he will not rejoin them, James instantly emerged as a marquee unrestricted free agent, where a handful of teams are already in pursuit of the four-time league MVP.
Per reports, James made it clear that money is not his main goal in his next team. As such, with the addition of Brown to join their fantastic core of Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe, the Sixers present a contention possibility for LeBron to win his fifth NBA championship.
Beyond Maxey and his Klutch Sports connection, the 76ers also have another meaningful tie to James through Mike Gansey. The new Philadelphia president has a longstanding relationship with the future Hall of Famer dating back to their high school days.
Gansey’s brother, Steven, recently shared a throwback photo of Mike and LeBron together, further fueling speculation about the 76ers’ pursuit of the former Lakers star.
