1 – How do the Sixers Contain LeBron James?

First things first, the Philadelphia 76ers will have to ask themselves the same question that every team in the league has asked since James entered the league in 2003:

How do you contain a player of his caliber?

Well, the short answer: you can’t — He’s just too damn good at basketball.

That being said, Sixers coach Brett Brown has been preaching that he wants his team to build a defensive identity this year, and Saturday will be their toughest defensive test of the young season.

We’ll see if Brown can draw anything up to keep the 76ers competitive.

It should also be fun to see if Embiid spends any one-on-one time matched up against James, and if he does, expect the crowd on hand at the Wells Fargo Center to get loud.

There won’t be an empty seat in the house as King James takes his talents to Philly.
