The Sixers secured a 106-100 victory at Madison Square Garden. LeBron played nearly 34 minutes, tallying 14 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists.
Ahead of his debut, he took a trip down memory lane to recall his very first NBA game.
It was a clash between his Cleveland Cavaliers and the Sacramento Kings back in the fall of 2003.
"Do I remember Cleveland's starting five? Myself, Ricky Davis, Darius Miles, Carlos Boozer, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas. For the Kings, it was Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja (Stojaković), Vlade (Divac)... Chris Webber was injured and didn't play; someone was filling in for him... Brad Miller!" – LeBron James
Although the Cavaliers lost 106-92, the 18-year-old James instantly lived up to the immense hype, delivering a stellar performance.
His debut went down as one of the most impressive in league history. He posted 25 points on 12-of-20 (60%) shooting from the field, adding nine assists, six rebounds, and four steals.
In that contest, Peja Stojaković led the Kings with 22 points, while Divac added 18.
