“A Great First Step” in the Spotlight
After Saturday’s scrimmage, James told reporters he was feeling good about it all. He said, “To be able to take what we’ve done on the practice floor, bring it to a game floor situation around our fans … it was a great first step in the direction we’re trying to go.” You just know he’s gonna be under the microscope all season long, especially with this being his first campaign rocking a 76ers jersey. It almost feels like fate that the team’s first preseason game, happening Monday, is against the New York Knicks. Given his new commute, that matchup just makes so much sense.
