LeBron James Signs With The Philadelphia 76ers
LeBron James is going to the Philadelphia 76ers, where he will play with the likes of Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown.
LeBron James had the entire NBA world in the palm of his hand as fans were eager to see which team he would sign with. There were numerous options, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat, and the Golden State Warriors. However, James has chosen the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Sixers became an attractive option as soon as they traded for Jaylen Brown. Now, they have Brown, Joel Embiid, and even Tyrese Maxey. This is a special roster, and there is a realistic scenario in which James wins an NBA title.
According to his agent, Rich Paul, James is taking a significant pay cut for the final two years of his career. At least, we assume these are his final two years. He signed a two-year deal worth $8 million. It is a modest sum, but the gains to his legacy could be infinite.
The Philadelphia 76ers arguably have the best starting five in all of basketball. Whether or not they are going to be able to make a deep run still remains to be seen. We still need to see the chemistry.
Joel Embiid is injury-prone and has never made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. However, with LeBron and Jaylen Brown on the team, there is a good chance that this is the year they get over the hump.
If you are a Sixers fan, today has probably been an incredible day for you. Getting LeBron ensures that this team is box office, night in and night out. It's going to be cool to see a legend in a new jersey, attempting to give a suffering franchise a ring that they deserve.

Future Scores Heap Of New RIAA Certifications Amid "The Real Me's" Success
We will soon learn Future's first week sales for "The Real Me," but new RIAA certifications provided a big commercial week regardless.
Future may still be causing a lot of debate around his new album The Real Me, but folks clearly have less criticism for its predecessors. That's because the Recording Industry Association of America just gave him a whopping 53 fresh certifications for his tracks, making him one of the artists with the most RIAA-certified songs ever and one of the most highest-certified artists overall.
A lot of these certifications are for the Atlanta icon's biggest hits, which have already gone platinum multiple times. These include "Life Is Good" with Drake, "Mask Off," "Low Life" with The Weeknd, and "WAIT FOR U" with Drizzy and Tems. All of these are in the double-digit platinum numbers.
Elsewhere, some of his multi-platinum hits include "Like That" with Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar, "Stick Talk," "PUFFIN ON ZOOTIEZ," "The Percocet & Stripper Joint," "Honest," and "Thought It Was A Drought." As for first-time platinum records, we have classics like "Codeine Crazy," "Throw Away," "News Or Something," and "Perkys Calling" that already feel platinum by cultural standards alone, along with newer cuts like various Metro collabs from their WE DON'T TRUST YOU album.
This is all due cause for celebration, and it's great to see this amazing catalog of hits get some RIAA recognition. But what about the most recent entry in the albums catalog. If first week sales projections are accurate, Future's The Real Me will be another win.
Previous reports suggested the new LP would move 135K units in its first week. The most recent update, caught by Kurrco on Instagram, suggests that number will be closer to 131K. It's a small dip and an overall downgrade from previous first week sales numbers, although it will likely best the last full-length, MIXTAPE PLUTO. In any case, even if comparison is the thief of joy, these numbers show he still commands a lot of attention and engagement.
Future is also dealing with beef these days, but that won't distract him from celebrating his achievements. Depending on how The Real Me ages, various highlights could land on this RIAA list one day.
Rick Ross Admits He Will Always Celebrate Drake Collabs Despite Beef
Rick Ross was recently on "The Joe Budden Podcast," where he talked about his fallout with Drake and how he reflects on their history today.
Rick Ross collaborated with Drake on some of his biggest songs, a dynamic that has soured a lot since its heyday. Despite their fallout regarding the Kendrick Lamar battle, though, he still looks back fondly on their history and understands it can never change.
Rozay made these remarks on The Joe Budden Podcast, where he denied the notion that his dynamic with Drizzy is fake. As caught by Micah Jung Un on Twitter, he responded to Budden's question about criticism he received for performing some of these collabs despite the feud.
"No, you got to realize, anything that we created in the past, Rozay gon' celebrate," the Maybach Music Group mogul remarked. "You understand? You can't change the past, you control the future, you dictate all that. So anything we've ever created is celebrated. Yeah, we with that. We bosses. We don't even care. Play all them n***as s**t. We ain't on no h*e s**t. We rich n***as."
Then, Joe said he and many others are "heartbroken" that the duo won't put out more fire together. "Y'all as a tandem and as a duo... Just on some making records s**t, what you two n***as were able to accomplish, what do you say to the n***as that are upset that they won't hear that again, and they blame you?" Budden asked."I feel you, I feel you," Ross replied. "Y'all n***as gon' get over it. Trust me. You gon' get over it. Trust me. Move on, get some lil' bread, get this Set In Stone. Trust me. You gon' say, 'I feel it. Rozay was right.'"
Joe seemed disappointed by this answer. But it seems like the reality moving forward with no reconciliation in sight.
For those unaware, Drake and Rick Ross' beef began when the latter accused the former of sending French Montana a cease and desist. They traded disses across various tracks, including plenty of social media trolls and (in Ross' case) some media and interview comments about their dynamic and fallout. The "Lord Knows" duo may not have a future, but that doesn't mean the past is irrelevant.
