@thatssourr: March 5, 2008 — LeBron James scores 50 points with 10 assists and 8 rebounds at Madison Square Garden and leaves the floor to "MVP" chants — the first 50-10-8 game since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975, as the Knicks spend two years clearing cap space to chase him. February 4, 2009 — Two nights after Kobe Bryant's 61 at the Garden, James answers with 52 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds, joining Michael Jordan as the only visiting players with two 50-point games at the current Garden. July 8, 2010 — On the ESPN special "The Decision," James chooses the Miami Heat — "take my talents to South Beach" — and not the Knicks. In his first game back at the Garden that December, booed all night, he posts a 32-point triple-double in a 22-point win. 2018 — A free agent again, James passes on New York a second time and signs with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he spends eight seasons and wins the 2020 championship. July 24, 2026 — After telling the Lakers on June 30 that he is leaving — and after his camp says the Knicks would have been his first choice had they not just won the title, and New York passes — James announces "my last decision": a two-year, $8 million veteran-minimum contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, after making nearly $53 million in his final Lakers season. October 20, 2026 — Ring night at Madison Square Garden: the Knicks raise their first championship banner in 53 years, and in the first half the crowd chants "We don't want you" at James at the free-throw line — he misses the second shot. Late in the second quarter he trades words with a courtside fan ("I'm from Ohio"), Spike Lee steps in as peacemaker, and James is caught on camera calling out a "championship whistle." October 20, 2026 — The 76ers spoil the party, 106–100. James finishes with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, sets up Jaylen Brown's buzzer-beating three to end the third quarter, and seals it with two free throws with seven seconds left — his first win in a debut with a new team, after losing all four previous debuts. Tyrese Maxey scores 28; Joel Embiid adds 13 and 11. October 30, 2026 — The rematch: the Knicks visit James and the 76ers in Philadelphia in NBA Cup group play, where the home crowd gets its turn to answer the chant. #LeBronJames #Knicks #76ers #NBA #MadisonSquareGarden
