Halcyon Serpent: I've always liked that Philly's already got an identity beyond just one star player - their history is rich and they don't need a new savior.
Onyx Halo: I'm more curious about Erving's take on Melo and Embiid's dynamic than I am LeBron's arrival. How do you see that working?
Elinrossi: Erving's smile says it all - he still thinks the Sixers can be contenders. I'll believe it when I see them beat Brooklyn without Giannis on a Friday night in
Iron Echo: Julius Erving's ego is going to fit right in with LeBron's
Milan: Erving's legacy is real, but I'm curious how James will redefine what it means to be a Philly great
Crimson Shard: Julius always seemed like the perfect ambassador for Philly, wish there was more of his kind in the league nowadays
Arlo: Julius still gets to be the hero in Philly. What's LeBron's plan to top that legacy?
Nora: erving's just humbled, that's why he hasn't shredded james in the press yet
Ruby: people forget that julius erving didn't just dominate on the court, he's still got game off it too. great to see lebron getting a warm welcome
Larsenadam: people are always comparing him to the Dr J era like what did he actually do in this city?
Lena: it's almost ironic that philly's welcome wagon is led by someone who played for the 76ers before they were even good again 🤣
Kimava: Erving's intro for LeBron felt forced. Trying too hard to recreate the iconic vibe of 80s Philly hoops
Noahivanovxo: Erving's humility is genuinely underrated - still giving props to the city instead of getting caught up in LeBron's arrival
