LeBron James to the Philadelphia 76ers has woken up every Philly celebrity.

When LeBron James left the Los Angeles Lakers, many reported that whichever team he joins next will also factor in his love for golf.

Well, Philadelphia has some of the best golf courses in the world, and it was apparently enough to woo James to sign a two-year, $8 million deal with the 76ers.

Saquon Barkley wants to play golf with LeBron James

Speaking of James’ move to the 76ers, many star athletes have already shared their reactions to it, and this includes Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley.

The star running back invited James to the city with an invitation to play golf with him, as Barkley shared the message on X.

“Welcome to the city! Let me know when you tryna tee it up, LeBron James,” the NFL star wrote.

Barkley wasn’t alone in welcoming the King to the city; the likes of Ric Flair and Kevin Hart were quick to share their glowing thoughts on James’ next NBA chapter.

Of course, some oldheads like Charles Barkley are sour over James’ decision, as Chuck believes James has stacked up yet another superteam to win an NBA Championship.
