　　The NBA's 2026-27 season Media Day kicked off in grand fashion, with the Philadelphia 76ers drawing the league's full attention. During a quick-fire Q&A session, newly signed superstar LeBron James used sharp one-word descriptions to evaluate his star teammates. Besides calling center Joel Embiid a "Beast," he boldly declared that in this new lineup, he would take on the versatile role of a "Swiss Army Knife." As for his controversial new teammate Jaylen Brown, James described him as "full of fighting spirit," a clear show of support.

　　LeBron, who will turn 42 at the end of this year, remains the center of media attention. When asked about his first impressions of his new teammates, he displayed leadership qualities with concise and powerful evaluations. He called dominant big man Joel Embiid a "Beast," praised guard Tyrese Maxey for his lightning speed, and labeled rookie VJ Edgecombe as a future "star of tomorrow."

　　Notably, when a reporter asked how James would position himself on a star-studded Philadelphia squad, the all-time leading scorer confidently said he would be the team's all-purpose "Swiss Army Knife," ready to connect the team with his versatile skill set.

　　Among all the assessments, James' take on former Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown drew the most attention. LeBron used the phrase "full of fighting spirit" to describe Brown, clearly implying a deeper meaning behind those words.

　　Last season, Brown delivered a career-best performance, averaging 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game. He led the Celtics to 56 wins, earned an All-NBA selection, and finished sixth in MVP voting. However, Boston traded him to Philadelphia in the offseason for Paul George. Brown faced harsh criticism from outsiders, being called the team's seventh-best player and even labeled a "cancer."

　　In fact, James had previously defended Brown on his own podcast, saying the public had a deep misunderstanding of him. Although their time together has been brief, James clearly has already seen Brown's inner drive. As the 2025-26 season approaches, the new "LeBron and Brown" duo will carry plenty of motivation to prove themselves to all the doubters.
