LeBron James is apparently willing to do almost anything for an NBA championship but not jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.
Philadelphia 76ers star Jaylen Brown floated the idea of celebrating a championship by going skydiving. Brown said during a stream that he told his new teammates he wanted to take the plunge if the Sixers are the last team standing in the NBA Finals.
It sounds exciting, it also sounds like a terrible team-building exercise.
Brown may be ready to fly. LeBron James is not buying a ticket.
If the Sixers win it all, Jaylen Brown says the entire team is going skydiving.

Bron texted back and said "BOY, HELL NO"
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOO

The four-time NBA champion made it clear that skydiving is not happening for him. Winning a championship? Absolutely. Falling from the sky for fun? Hard pass.
“I told VJ, Max, Bron, and Embiid we win the championship everybody going skydiving”
Bron texted back and said “BOY, HELL NO.”
Brown’s idea is still hilarious. Imagine winning the NBA title after months of brutal playoff games, champagne everywhere, fans celebrating, and then someone says, “Great job, guys. Now let’s jump out of a plane.”
LeBron would probably disappear faster than a defender trying to guard him in transition.

The funny part is that Brown seems genuinely excited about the idea. He wants his new teammates to share the experience if Philadelphia manages to win it all.
That could create an interesting locker-room divide.
Team Skydiving would be ready with parachutes. Team LeBron would probably be looking for a nice restaurant on solid ground.
The Sixers have plenty of work to do before anyone starts worrying about parachutes, though. Winning an NBA championship is not exactly an Amazon delivery. You cannot simply click “add to cart” and wait for the trophy to arrive.
