What was first just a dream<\/a> has become a frightening reality for those who may oppose the City of Brotherly Love.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia now has both Michael Jordan AND LeBron James.<\/p>\n

And now the Sixers are adding the second-best player (or so) in basketball history to their roster. It\u2019s hard to believe it\u2019s real but James is coming to Philly. Our good friends over at Liberty Ballers<\/a> have full coverage of the big news.<\/p>\n

I realize that not all BGN readers are also Sixers fans but this is clearly a huge development for Philly and the NBA writ large. We already have multiple entries in The Feed about this topic:<\/p>\n

Wild times! And funny that two of the biggest names in the NBA GOAT debate, one of them being the actual player, are now in the same sports city.<\/p>\n

Guessing we\u2019ll see LeBron attending some Eagles games this season. And a larger Eagles presence at some Sixers games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality for those who may oppose the City…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":252163,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,3085,71,70],"class_list":["post-252162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-eagles-news","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=252162"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/252162\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/252163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=252162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=252162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=252162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
