Happy holiday weekend to our largely American audience.
While the Fourth of July is a slow time of the year for the NFL, such is not the case for the NBA.
In case you missed it, which I find hard to believe even if you don’t follow professional basketball, the Philadelphia 76ers made a really big move earlier this week by trading for Jaylen Brown from their rival Boston Celtics.

It was a pretty exciting move. But the intrigue doesn’t stop there.
Now there’s buzz that LeBron James might also end up in Philly. And not just in the form of social media rumors but from an actual podcast hosted by James’ agent himself:
Rich Paul on Sixers: ‘How could they not have [LeBron’s] attention?’
I won’t believe it until it actually happens … but it sure is fun to think about the possibility.
It also allows us to make the joke that Philly could have both LeBron AND Michael Jordan, since the Philadelphia Eagles signed a 28-year-old journeyman offensive guard last month who has that name.
This is the Eagles’ MJ:
Not to be confused with this guy:
For the record, I’ve always been a Jordan > LeBron guy.
