A new video dropped on Friday from trainer Chris Johnson, and if you thought the Philadelphia 76ers’ new lineup was just hype, you need to see Tyrese Maxey, LeBron James, and Jaylen Brown already putting in serious work. These guys are running through “various actions” as they get ready for their first season together in Philadelphia, and the early footage is undeniable.
Philly’s New Big Three Is Gelling Fast
LeBron James officially signed with the Sixers earlier this offseason, teaming up with Brown, Maxey, and Joel Embiid. Jaylen Brown, who the Sixers picked up from the Boston Celtics back in July, had some serious praise for his new teammates last week on a Twitch stream. He said Maxey is “a dog,” which, come on, we already knew, right? But hearing it from Brown just hits different. He also talked about James, saying, “you don’t even need to say what LeBron is.” Brown added that James “looked good, healthy,” and that “it’s gonna be that.” The vibes are clearly high.
Brown emphasized they’ve already worked out a few times, so this isn’t just a one-off. “That’s good to just get in the gym with your teammates, get a feel for one another. Feel that the energy level is high, the talent is high. We’ve just got to come with the right approach.” He even dropped a heavy line: “LeBron is in his Kobe year, year 24. And we in the birthplace of the Bean. Come on dog, the energy is there.” That’s the kind of passion that gets you fired up for the season to start, even when it’s just a workout video.
Early Title Talk and the Road Ahead
Let’s be real, Philadelphia is an early favorite to take home the 2026-27 title, and you can see why. James is 41 years old and heading into his 24th season, but his late-career skill set is still insane and should pair up perfectly with the other three stars. The biggest obstacle for the 76ers will definitely be staying healthy. If they can get through the regular season and head into the playoffs injury-free, it’s going to be incredibly tough for anyone to stop them.
The energy and talent are clearly there. With these guys already gelling and talking like champions, the entire league is watching to see if Philly can live up to that early title favorite status. Get ready, because this season is going to be wild.
