New Philadelphia 76ers superstar LeBron James has already redefined NBA longevity. James made history by becoming the first player ever to play 23 NBA seasons in 2025-26, and he is now gearing up for No. 24. James has been hard at work this summer as he prepares for a new chapter in his basketball life, and he is showing no major signs of slowing down. The 41-year-old recently took part in private runs hosted by renowned trainer Chris Johnson and dominated. View this post on Instagram Yes, these weren’t real games, but James was going up against NBA competition. DeMar DeRozan, Jalen Johnson, Peyton Watson, DeAndre Jordan, and Kingston Flemings were among the other notable names who took part, and he still managed to stand out. This clip unsurprisingly went viral, and it would be an understatement to say NBA fans were impressed. “He’s not human, I’m convinced,” one fan thinks James cannot be human. “This is not normal in any form or fashion,” a fan wanted to make it clear this is abnormal. “Can’t stand LeFlop but what he’s doing at his age should be studied by scientists!!! F***ing crazy,” a James hater is even impressed by his longevity. “Yeah it’s gonna get scary out there this year! Bron really bout to hoop,” one fan expects James to dominate next season. “That man is definitely getting another ring,” one believes James will win the title next season. Well, James has signed with the 76ers with the goal of winning his fifth title. The 22-time All-Star believed they gave him the best chance of winning, and you understand why. James has joined forces with Jaylen Brown, Joel Embiid, and Tyrese Maxey on the 76ers. This is a superteam now, and they are among the favorites to win it all next season. Before this video went viral, one of James, Brown, and Maxey working out did, too. Former NBA player Patrick Beverley loved what he saw, and he believes this 76ers team spells trouble for the rest of the NBA. If all these stars click, it’s hard to see how anyone can stop this team. Of course, it is ridiculous that we are even calling James a star after all these years in the NBA. He averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025-26, and it shouldn’t be possible to put up those numbers with all that wear and tear on the body. James is somehow still great, and he signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the 76ers. Talk about a bargain. Draymond Green Believes LeBron James Is The Most Impactful Free Agency Signing We have seen a lot of player movement this summer, but Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green believes James to the 76ers is the most impactful free agency signing. “I think LeBron,” Green said. “Just with his championship experience, his leadership on a team that hasn’t been able to get over the hump, I think that makes it a very impactful and interesting signing for Philly.” The 76ers last won an NBA championship in 1983. Some great players like Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson have suited up for them since, but haven’t been able to win the ultimate prize. It was Iverson who last took the 76ers to the NBA Finals in 2001. That was also the last time they made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, and James is aiming to get them back on top.
