Summary
Philadelphia media day brought LeBron James' disclosure that he nearly chose the Knicks, but abandoned the idea after New York won the championship over San Antonio.
James said Madison Square Garden had appealed as a place to finish his career, yet he decided fans would compare the move to Kevin Durant joining an already crowned team.
At his first 76ers media day, the 24th-season star framed Philadelphia as a title chase, saying he did not leave his family on the West Coast to lose in the second round.
James also said he can "do everything" alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, while questions about hierarchy surfaced when Jaylen Brown declined to name the team's "alpha."
