LeBron James confirmed that he enjoyed the Philadelphia 76ers' 106-100 victory over the New York Knicks after the defending champions received their rings for winning the 2026 NBA Finals on Tuesday.
The Sixers crack the Knicks' opening‑night celebration with a 106‑100 win at Madison Square Garden, but their debut shows a team still feeling out new lineups.

Bench spark plugs include Andre Drummond’s double‑double and Anfernee Simons’ 13 points on three threes, while Kentavious Caldwell‑Pope hits two late threes. Coach Nick Nurse experiments with zone defenses and unconventional lineups, resulting in occasional rotation lapses, but the defensive versatility against Jalen Brunson and LeBron James’ pick‑and‑roll shows promise.
Bronny James was not even in the building, but he still caught a stray on the New York Knicks’ biggest night in decades. Tracy Morgan, the former “Saturday Night Live” star and lifelong Knicks fan, took a shot at the Los Angeles Lakers guard during NBC’s coverage of the team’s championship celebration at Madison Square […]

During the Knicks’ season‑opening game against the 76ers on Oct. 21, 2026, NBC’s Mike Tirico called attention to heated fan heckling of LeBron James over his new helicopter commute.

The 41‑year‑old was booed with a unified “We don’t want you!” chant as he attempted a free throw in his record‑setting 24th season, then engaged in a heated exchange with a fan.
