LeBron James sporting a Sixers jersey<\/a> for the first time.<\/p>\n“I am super-excited to get in front of these fans. They know sports. They know ball. And if you’re not doing what you’re supposed to, they are going to let you hear it,” James said.<\/p>\n
Fans also welcomed Zach Ertz back to Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
“I’m very happy to see Zach Ertz come back on to the field, so I’m excited about that,” Morrison said.<\/p>\n
The excitement extends beyond football, baseball and basketball. The Union is riding a 12-game unbeaten streak in MLS, while the Flyers are set to open their season at home Wednesday.<\/p>\n
For Morrison, the success across Philadelphia sports has created a welcome sense of optimism.<\/p>\n
“I think the city is shining bright; we’re shining bright right now. It’s a good feeling; we need it,” she said.<\/p>\n
