The Philadelphia 76ers might feel the weight of more pressure than anybody else in the league going into the 2026-2027 NBA season. That comes with the territory of adding stars like LeBron James and Jaylen Brown.<\/p>\n
Feeling that kind of pressure, it\u2019s easy to fall into a trap of having self-doubt. As expectations in the NBA rarely pan out perfectly, the 76ers could flop just as easily as they could win it all. Experience isn\u2019t everything in a title-winning team, but it is important. That\u2019s why the 76ers added two champions to the roster after another second-round flameout.<\/p>\n
Nobody needs to give LeBron James any reminders about who he is and what he\u2019s done at this stage of his career. Being heavily involved in GOAT conversations, with several titles on his resume, LeBron truly has nothing left to prove. Bob Myers, the President of the Sixers\u2019 ownership group HBSE, sees Brown in a slightly different light.<\/p>\n
Brown might not need a reminder about who he is and what he\u2019s done, but he\u2019s got one.<\/p>\n
Bob Myers delivers an important message for the one-time champ<\/p>\n
\u201cWe needed an edge, and I think Jaylen Brown sets an edge,\u201d Myers said on the Cousins podcast<\/a> with Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady. He also went into detail about a conversation the president and the All-Star forward had recently. Myers urged Brown not to underestimate his status as an NBA champion going into his first season with the Sixers.<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Don\u2019t ever underestimate that you are a champion. And that there is power in that, so use that with this team.\u2019 And I said, we need you to lead, so I\u2019m going to ask you to lead,\u201d Myers said, recalling his talk with Brown.<\/p>\n
