According to NBC Sports&#8217; John Clark, the billboards were donated by Drew Katz, the CEO of Interstate Outdoor Advertising. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">After a lengthy free agency period, James <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25448278-lebron-james-agrees-76ers-contract-after-leaving-lakers-full-details-pay-cut-revealed\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">agreed<\/a> to a two-year, $8 million deal with the 76ers, pairing him alongside Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">In a statement on social media, James said it will be his &#8220;last decision,&#8221; and he chose Philadelphia because he feels the Sixers are best equipped to win a title. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Obviously, James has little left to prove at this point, but a fifth championship would add to his Hall of Fame resume. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Barring any drastic changes around the league, it&#8217;s hard to imagine a healthy 76ers team won&#8217;t at least be in the mix to win it all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It didn&#8217;t take Philadelphia long to welcome its new star to town.
