LeBron James eyes NYC residence with helicopter commute to 76ers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

LeBron James is reportedly considering a unique living arrangement for his upcoming season with the Philadelphia 76ers, potentially residing in New York City and commuting via helicopter. This plan faces significant hurdles, including New York's new pied-à-terre tax on high-value second homes and a growing movement to restrict helicopter travel from city heliports. James has also taken a substantial pay cut, signing a veteran's minimum contract with the 76ers, though his presence is projected to generate substantial economic activity for the Philadelphia region.
