Patrick Beverley believes the new-look Philadelphia 76ers look dangerous in their new training video with LeBron James.
James joined the 76ers on a two-year, $8 million contract to form one of the most stacked starting lineups in the NBA.
And after a recent video of James training with Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey went viral, Patrick Beverley believes it was the first sign that the 76ers are championship favourites.

Beverley gushed about the plays and athleticism he saw from the trio, suggesting that if LeBron brings the same level to the 76ers this season, they are favourites to win the NBA championship.
“I don’t see nobody talking about it, so I gotta talk about it. Bro, I just watched that video of Tyrese Maxey, LeBron James, and Jaylen Brown working out. Man, it’s trouble, man. Belt. Philadelphia Belt.
“I watched the video. They look nice! They look so nice! Pocket passes, three-on-three, one action over here, another action over here, iso…
“Everybody’s bodies look great; Bron still dunking. If we get a little bit of this version with Philly, man, without a doubt…”
Beverley has previously played with LeBron James on the Lakers and served as the backup point guard to Tyrese Maxey on the Philadelphia 76ers.
He knows very well how strong the two can be when they’re playing at the highest level, and has some strong insight into their ceiling together as teammates.
The biggest concerns for the 76ers will undoubtedly be their health. When healthy, the 76ers boast arguably the strongest starting five in the NBA.
However, with Joel Embiid being so injury-prone, and LeBron James missing more games with each passing season due to his age, there is a fear that the 76ers’ starting five won’t play together much during the regular season.
For the 76ers, the priority will be to ensure both Embiid and James are healthy, fit, and in rhythm come playoff time, as they will fancy their odds against any team regardless of home-court advantage.
