LeBron James’ decision to join the Philadelphia 76ers was not settled until the final hours, according to his agent, Rich Paul.
Paul described the lead-up to the move as an “emotional roller coaster,” saying the process continued into early Friday morning before James made his final choice.
A major decision finalized late
The timing underscores how closely the decision came down to the wire, with James and his representatives working through the process until just before the outcome became clear.
James’ move to the Sixers marks a significant development for Philadelphia, adding one of basketball’s most accomplished players to the franchise. Paul’s comments indicate that the decision was both complex and highly emotional before it was ultimately resolved.
