Every Philadelphia 76ers fan wants to know what it would be like having LeBron James, Tyrese Maxey and Jaylen Brown on the floor playing together. Well, the season is still a few months away, but we've got a small glimpse of their chemistry in a 3v3 action recently. The 76ers trio trained together in an LA gym with trainer Chris Johnson. The video captures LeBron throwing his no-look passes for easy finishes to Brown and Maxey. He himself goes downtown for monstrous dunks. Brown also cuts through the lane to finish on LeBron's assist. Maxey shows off his dribbling skills to get into his shooting motion. Overall, the chemistry looked terrifying for the 76ers' future opponents. LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, and Tyrese Maxey are looking good! 👀 — TSN (@TSN_Sports) August 20, 2026 (via: IG/chrisjohnsonhoops) pic.twitter.com/FB4jxVXC5F MORE: Cavaliers trade pitch would soften the blow of missing out on LeBron James LeBron James sets fifth NBA championship in motion with massive salary dump Though still one of the most athletic guys on the floor, LeBron James doesn't have a lot of seasons left in him at the age of 41. After parting ways with the Lakers in the offseason, LeBron entered free agency for the first time in his career with the sole attempt of giving himself the best shot at a potential fifth NBA title. After going through different options with his agent Rich Paul, James finally decided to sign a two-year, $8 million deal with the 76ers. It was a massive pay cut since LeBron had a $53 million annual contract with the Lakers. Already adding Jaylen Brown to the fold via a trade with the Boston Celtics before, the 76ers have turned themselves into a superteam. With Joel Embiid at center and Tyrese Maxey in the backcourt, LeBron will have the company of elite shooters to pass to. In Brown, LeBron will get a fellow NBA Finals MVP. The 41-year-old can himself turn back the clock and storm the basket whenever needed. The message is clear. James wants to maximize the final years of his NBA career, even if it means playing for so little money.
