LeBron James makes first appearance in Sixers gear, says he's ready for a new dynamic with Philadelphia fans

LeBron James debuted a new bald look and sounded ready to get to work as the Philadelphia 76ers held their first media day since signing the NBA's leading scorer.

The Sixers made big splash acquisitions this offseason, trading with the Celtics for Jaylen Brown and signing James out of free agency.

While Brown has already held an introductory press conference, Monday's event at the team's practice facility in Camden marked the first time we saw James in a Sixers jersey.

He was asked plenty about playing in front of the Philadelphia fanbase. After years of being on the receiving end of Philly fans' ire, James said he has always respected their passion.

"We're gonna be on the same side now, guys," James said. He added that he hopes fans can still bring some of that familiar intensity now that he's a Sixer.

Asked what needs to be done to quickly build chemistry with his new team, James said it's not a quick fix. Building chemistry is something that will take time, but it's necessary to make a deep playoff run, he said.

"I didn't leave my family just to lose in the second round," James said.
