As of August 3rd Beijing time, James hasn't made his official debut as a 76er in Philadelphia, yet fans have expressed their welcome for the "King" through various means. Similar to his move to the Lakers, it's common for a new city to celebrate a new star with murals. James' likeness can now be seen on the streets of Philadelphia.


Media outlets have shared a mural of James wearing a black retro 76ers jersey, which was just created by an artist. Netizens also captured the artist's creative process. Additionally, some other images of James had already appeared in Philadelphia earlier.


Regarding James' signing with the Philadelphia 76ers, fans have mixed opinions. The majority are welcoming, with earlier videos showing many fans crying with excitement and spreading the news. A small minority are not welcoming, especially after news that James might not live in Philadelphia but settle in New York, which has sparked some controversy.
Multiple sources indicate that James plans to live in New York City, requiring a commute of about 100 miles south for each game. Earlier reports suggested he could take a helicopter to reduce the trip to about 45 minutes, but many media outlets and fans are concerned about potential safety issues. Amtrak is ready to provide a commuting option for James to help him play for the 76ers.

After signing with the 76ers, James has not publicly discussed his living arrangements, but sources indicate he will make his home in New York. This decision is mainly based on lifestyle considerations, which aligns with long-standing rumors that James has always wanted to settle in New York. According to Amtrak's schedule, a commuter train from Manhattan to Philadelphia takes about 1 hour and 25 minutes.
