The Carton Show UNLOADS on LeBron & the Sixers: "They're NOT Beating the Knicks!"

**Craig Carton** (0:00)
Yeah, yeah, Carton Show, Big Mac. LeBron James is going to Philadelphia, where most of the losers wind up going. I did see Saquon Barkley already reached out to him, and said, you trying to get a tee time? Great, awesome.
Yeah, let him play all the Philadelphia golf courses, because he's not going to help the basketball team win a championship, but good to see everyone of Philadelphia embracing him.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:26)
Of course.

**Craig Carton** (0:26)
Guys who want a championship or an MVP in over a decade, and he's going to end his career ten plus years without a championship or an MVP. But enjoy having LeBron James sucking up all the oxygen in Philadelphia.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:41)
I think it's just the fan base is excited. Obviously, Maxey really had a great year last year. They traded for Brown in what was a great trade. Great trade.

**Craig Carton** (0:49)
Yeah, Paul George.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:49)
And now they've added LeBron. I mean, he chose them. He could have went multiple places.
He chose Philadelphia. I can understand why the fan base is excited.

**Craig Carton** (0:58)
Yeah, well, because they've never gotten past the second round of the playoffs.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
I don't think any...

**Craig Carton** (1:02)
1983, let's start chanting it.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:04)
I think we all understand this doesn't put them over the top in any way. But like, he's still a good player.

**Craig Carton** (1:08)
I think we start chanting when the Sixers come to the Garden this year, much like fans used to taunt Rangers fans, 1940, right, that whole thing.
I think, 83, bop bop, fromp fromp fromp, 83, fromp fromp, fromp fromp fromp. So, I'm so tickled pink about this.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:30)
They haven't been champions since 83

**Craig Carton** (1:32)
Yeah, we haven't been champions since 73 Right, exactly. It's still a rivalry.
You're going to make me say things I don't want to say to you.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:39)
Well, don't say them.

**Craig Carton** (1:40)
I have to say them, you dumbass. No, you don't.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:42)
That would be mean.

**Craig Carton** (1:43)
I apologize. That's OK. I take it back.
I'll say this. Whatever I say about you or to you for the next four hours, I don't mean personally at all. Of course. So I hope you can accept that. Please tell your children are going to love me. You're listening. And your beautiful wife, who you know, I adore.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:58)
She's all that.

**Craig Carton** (1:59)
I take it all back. What I'm about to say is not going to be friendly.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:04)
Listen, I don't know why you get this. Philadelphia and it's LeBron James.

**Craig Carton** (2:08)
I hate your take on this and your positioning.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:10)
I'm loving it. Yeah.

**Craig Carton** (2:11)
OK, I love it. Oh, boy, I swear to God, I hope the Red Sox get Mason Miller. That would be great. And by the way, maybe Devers can go back there. Or maybe they can. Maybe there's some other guys the Red Sox can get. Because I think the Yankees, you know what the Yankees are really missing right now? A really good rivalry. They have rivalry. Yeah, no, a real one, though. No, but they have good one. That's what I think. That'd be great.
I really hope that happens.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:33)
If the Yankees went through the postseason last year, like a hot knife through butter on their real championship, and gentlemanly swept the Dodgers, maybe I'd have a different take.

**Craig Carton** (2:43)
Okay. I don't think you would, but okay.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:44)
They're the Knicks.
I like the idea of someone's gonna be good, someone's gonna be competition. Why not the Sixers?

**Craig Carton** (2:52)
They're the championship Knicks.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:55)
Yes, they are.

**Craig Carton** (2:55)
Please get it right. What'd I say? You just said the Knicks.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:57)
Oh, the champion. They're the champions.

**Craig Carton** (2:58)
They're the championship Knicks. Let's never get that twisted. And look how desperate Philadelphia is. Saying yes to someone we said no to. Oh, I just think it's fantastic. Here's Stevie in Long Island on the fan. Steve, good afternoon. How are you, sir?

**Stevie** (3:13)
I don't know, Craig.
I love you. Thank you. But you're just, and I've said this to you before, and we're the same exact age. We have a lot of things in common. But you're, and I say, you're disdainful of LeBron.

**Craig Carton** (3:25)
Yeah.

**Stevie** (3:25)
So ruins your take on everything.

**Craig Carton** (3:28)
Okay.

**Stevie** (3:30)
And your perspective.
