LeBron James will wear No 23 with the Philadelphia 76ers, ‌the team said on Monday as they officially announced the signing of the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

The Sixers took to their social media channels to post a photo of James' ​blue jersey hanging in a locker stall along with a crown as ​a nod to his "King James" nickname.

"I cannot wait to see ⁠LeBron alongside Jaylen Brown, VJ Edgecombe, Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and our talented ​roster as we work to deliver a championship for Philly," Sixers managing partner Josh ​Harris said in a press release.

"To LeBron and his family: we are grateful you chose the 76ers, and look forward to this next chapter of your legendary career. Welcome to ​the 76ers!"

James, 41, announced his decision to join Philadelphia on Friday and will ​now look to become the first player to win NBA championships with four different teams after ‌lifting ⁠two titles with the Miami Heat and one each with the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers.

The four-times NBA Most Valuable Player, who has worn both No 23 and No 6 during his professional career, spent the last eight seasons ​with the Lakers, ​leading them to ⁠a title in 2020 after two separate stints with the Cavaliers and four years with the Heat.

In announcing what he ​called his "last decision", James said he opted to sign with ​Philadelphia because ⁠he felt he could make them a championship team. The Sixers have not won an NBA title in 43 years.

"There is no doubt LeBron is one of the ⁠greatest ​players to ever play the game of basketball ​and there are no words to measure the impact he’ll have on this organization,” said Sixers president ​of basketball operations Mike Gansey.
