LeBron James has played more NBA seasons than some of his teammates have been alive. Philadelphia still managed to give him a week full of firsts.<\/p>\n
Over six days, James made his first regular-season start as a Sixer, scored his first points, played his first regular-season home game, recorded his first double-double with the team, sat out for the first time, started at center and experienced his first loss.<\/p>\n
Not every first deserves a plaque. Together, they made for a busy opening chapter.<\/p>\n
Welcome to the second edition of the LeBron Log.<\/p>\n
FIRST THINGS FIRST<\/p>\n
James\u2019 first assist as a Sixer also produced Jaylen Brown\u2019s first points with the team.<\/p>\n
With 8:58 remaining in the first quarter against the Knicks, James found Brown cutting to the basket for a layup. Joel Embiid returned the favor later in the quarter, finding James inside for his first Philadelphia points.<\/p>\n
Brown assisted James\u2019 first Sixers dunk early in the third quarter. James finished the alley-oop to tie the game at 58 and helped Philadelphia turn a four-point halftime deficit into a seven-point lead entering the fourth.<\/p>\n
James finished his debut with 14 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block. More importantly, the Sixers left Madison Square Garden with a 106-100 win after watching the Knicks raise their championship banner.<\/p>\n
Two nights later, James\u2019 first shot in his first regular-season home game became his first three-pointer as a Sixer. VJ Edgecombe found him on the left wing for a 27-footer that gave Philadelphia an early lead over Cleveland.<\/p>\n
The evening became far more memorable from there.<\/p>\n
James recorded his first Sixers double-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds, five assists and three steals. Philadelphia erased a 29-point deficit for the largest comeback win of James\u2019 career and the franchise\u2019s largest in the play-by-play era, which dates to 1996-97.<\/p>\n
He also received his first complete introduction to the Philadelphia crowd. The Sixers were booed into halftime and cheered off the floor after their 114-106 win.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got the boos,\u201d James said. \u201cThat was amazing, and we deserved it.\u201d<\/p>\n
His daughter Zhuri celebrated her 12th birthday courtside, while his mother was also in attendance.<\/p>\n
It was quite a first night at home.<\/p>\n
ONE RED, ONE BLUE<\/p>\n
James began his Sixers career at Madison Square Garden wearing a purple-blue Nike LeBron 24 player-exclusive with iridescent branding.<\/p>\n
The inspiration behind the colorway has not been revealed.\u00a0House of Heat reported<\/a>\u00a0that the shoe could be tied to one of the five themes behind the LeBron 24 line: wonder, family, fear, luck or discovery.<\/p>\n For his home debut, James went with something unmistakably Philadelphia.<\/p>\n He wore a red Nike LeBron 24 on his left foot and a blue one on his right. The mismatched \u201cPhilly\u201d edition featured a textured knit upper, metallic lace hardware and James\u2019 crown logo on the tongue.<\/p>\n
