Philadelphia – LeBron James, yearning to capture a fifth NBA title, tips off his record 24th campaign on Tuesday at age 41 with his new Philadelphia 76ers teammates chasing a championship.

The league’s 81st season launches with the Sixers visiting the New York Knicks and watching the home team hoist its first championship banner since 1973.

James made it clear in July when he announced he was joining the 76ers that his move was all about making one more title run.
