LeBron James got the absolute full-throttle Philadelphia experience last Thursday night, and get this: he loved it. The guy admitted the boos raining down from the crowd were “deserved” during the 76ers’ insane comeback win against the Cleveland Cavaliers, calling it a “hell of a night.”
Philly Fans Went From Fuming to Fired Up
Man, talk about a roller coaster! The 76ers were in a rough spot during their home opener against the Cavs, trailing by a massive 29 points in the first half. You know what that means in Philly: the boos came down hard. But what went down in the second half? The team pulled off a wild comeback, winning 114-106! That atmosphere went from frustrated silence to absolutely charged up.
LeBron James: “We Deserved It”
What’s even crazier than the comeback itself is LeBron’s take on the whole thing. He told reporters, “It was everything that I dreamed of and more.” He went on to say, “The boos, that was amazing. We deserved it. And then we got the cheers and almost blew the roof off this thing tonight in a good way.” That’s a superstar embracing the chaos, right? Everyone was talking about how electric Xfinity Mobile Arena was, and honestly, can you blame them after that kind of performance?
The Sixers are looking good early, already 2-0 after wins over the New York Knicks and those Cavaliers. If this is how they’re starting, you can bet that Xfinity Mobile Arena is going to be rocking all season long.
