Happy holiday weekend to our largely American audience.<\/p>\n

While the Fourth of July is a slow time of the year for the NFL, such is not the case for the NBA.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, which I find hard to believe even if you don\u2019t follow professional basketball, the Philadelphia 76ers made a really big move earlier this week by trading for Jaylen Brown<\/a><\/strong> from their rival Boston Celtics.<\/p>\n

It was a pretty exciting move. But the intrigue doesn\u2019t stop there.<\/p>\n

Now there\u2019s 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\u2019 agent himself:<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t believe it until it actually happens \u2026 but it sure is fun to think about the possibility.<\/p>\n

\n

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<\/a><\/strong> last month who has that name.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This is the Eagles\u2019 MJ:<\/p>\n

Not to be confused with this guy:<\/p>\n

For the record, I\u2019ve always been a Jordan > LeBron guy.<\/p>\n

RELATED CONTENT: I joined my good friends Michael Levin and Roy Burton to talk Sixers (and their relation to an Eagles\/Cowboys dynamic), the Jaylen Brown trade (with an A.J. Brown trade comparison), LeBron, and more on The Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
