The Philadelphia 76ers made two massive moves this offseason, acquiring both Jaylen Brown and LeBron James.
Brown landed in Philadelphia as part of a blockbuster trade with the Eastern Conference-rival Boston Celtics. James ended his highly-publicized free agency process by choosing to the 76ers before his historic 24th NBA season.
During a livestream on Monday night, Brown talked about teaming up with James in Philadelphia.
"I love learning, so to have the opportunity to learn from one if, if not the greatest player of all time," Brown said. "On the court, off the court, learn and gather experiences that can accumulate to my own knowledge base."
Brown and James round out a talented lineup featuring Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe. With this roster, the 76ers are one of the leading favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference.
Brown was the No. 1 option for the Celtics for much of the 2025-26 season as Jayson Tatum recovered from his torn Achilles injury. Through 71 games, the five-time All-Star averaged a career-high 28.7 points per game.

James will turn 42 years old in December of this coming season. In his eighth and final season with the Los Angeles Lakers, the all-time great NBA superstar averaged 20.9 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game.
