Now that LeBron James is joining the Philadelphia 76ers for the 2026-27 season, there’s a great deal of forecasting about the potential final chapter of his legendary legacy.

Philadelphia 76ers odds have dominated online sports betting activity in recent days, and bettors will likely continue to slam BetMGM’s available odds for the next several months.

If bettors are correct, and the Sixers really can compete for an Eastern Conference title and NBA championship, that will open up some wild historical possibilities for James.

Has An NBA Player Ever Won a Championship With Four Different Franchises?

In the history of the NBA, no player has ever won a title with four different teams. 

The high-water mark for players is winning a title with three teams, which has only been accomplished by a few different players – including James.

If he wins a championship with the 76ers, he’ll create a new one-man category. And given the longevity that’s been required for James to even join a fourth title-contending franchise, there may never be a second.
