Don’t say he didn’t try.
Renowned Philly native Kevin Hart reportedly tried to convince LeBron James to pack up and move to Philly as soon as his season with the Cleveland Cavaliers is over. But – according to Hart – Lebron wasn’t too keen on the idea.
“Listen,” Hart told TMZ paparazzi. “I’ve already tried. I sent him $40, he didn’t accept it. I really did send him $40 and I said come to Philly. And he said, ‘kiss his ass.’ Listen, you’re looking at a guy who has the world at his hands. You know, if he were to go somewhere else, whoever gets that opportunity it’s amazing. I think what he’s doing for the city of Cleveland is unreal. That economy shoots through the sky because of him. So I don’t think he’s leaving. Other people think he will. I don’t think he’s going nowhere.”
So there you have it. LeBron is definitely, at least probably, not going to the 76ers. It seems that all NBA cities have less of a chance of seeing LeBron with every day that goes by. Especially now that Cavs head coach Tyronn Lue (who LeBron had a tense relationship with) is out indefinitely, there’s a very solid chance LeBron could stick around.
