LeBron James is wasting no time in getting comfortable with two of his new teammates with the Philadelphia 76ers.
Trainer Chris Johnson on Friday shared video of James working along with Jaylen Brown and Tyrese Maxey ahead of the start of training camp. The trio appeared to be running through various actions, including drills on possessions with the shot clock winding down.

James, Brown, and Maxey have been hard at work for several weeks already. Johnson first shared photos of the group in the gym together on Aug. 19. James and Maxey have been tuning up together for even longer.

One of the primary concerns about James’ new team is whether the group of stars can develop chemistry quickly enough to fulfill their championship ambitions in year one. James is unquestionably dedicated to trying to accomplish that, with Brown seeming particularly cooperative in terms of trying to make things work.
While James knows Maxey well, he has never played with either Maxey or Brown before. He clearly wants to be ahead of the curve by the time the season starts.
