Magic Johnson is clear about LeBron James fitting in with the Sixers: "It will be.."

The arrival of LeBron James to the Philadelphia 76ers has raised numerous questions about how one of the greatest stars in NBA history will fit into a team that already has several players with a huge offensive presence.

However, an expert voice like Magic Johnson seems to have no doubts about it. The legendary American basketball point guard believes that LeBron's style of play will make coexisting with Philadelphia's main stars much easier than it might seem.

Johnson spoke exclusively with ScoopB.com on the red carpet of the Harold & Carole Pump Foundation gala, held Thursday night at The Beverly Hilton, and was asked specifically about how James will fit into the 76ers' new project.

LeBron will share the spotlight with Maxey, Embiid, and Jaylen Brown

The big challenge for Philadelphia will be to ensure that LeBron finds his place within a roster of players accustomed to having the ball and taking on significant offensive responsibility.

The team relies on Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid as two of its main references, and the addition of Jaylen Brown brings even more offensive talent to the perimeter.

In addition, there's now LeBron, a player who historically has needed to have a significant influence on his teams' offense, especially as a creator and playmaker.

The question posed to Magic Johnson was precisely how James could thrive while sharing the court with multiple players with high offensive usage.

Magic Johnson sees no problem

The NBA five-time champion's response was clear. Johnson dismissed any concerns regarding the chemistry between LeBron and Philadelphia's other stars.

“Well, it's easy when you're a playmaker, you know,” Magic explained.

The legendary Los Angeles Lakers player considers one of LeBron's main virtues to be his ability to make his teammates better. Instead of seeing Maxey, Embiid, and Brown's presence as a problem, Johnson believes that the offensive talent of all of them can benefit from James' playmaking vision.

“He gets everybody involved in the game, makes players get easy shots and easy buckets,” he added.

LeBron's playmaking ability is key

Magic's analysis focuses on a characteristic that has been with LeBron for almost his entire career: his ability to act as a true orchestrator of the offense.

James doesn't need to limit himself to scoring to have a huge impact. His court vision allows him to find his teammates in favorable positions and distribute the ball among different offensive threats.

In Philadelphia, he will have several top-level options to feed. Maxey can take the lead with the ball and attack from the perimeter, Embiid remains a dominant threat near the rim and from mid-range, while Brown adds physical power and scoring ability from the wings.

LeBron's presence could allow all of them to receive the ball in more favorable situations.

A new challenge for LeBron

James' arrival in Philadelphia represents one of the major moves of the summer and sets a completely different stage for the final stretch of his career.

With 20 All-Star Game selections under his belt, LeBron joins a 76ers team that aims to compete for everything and has built a core with tremendous offensive talent.

Questions about the distribution of responsibilities will be unavoidable in the early months, but Magic Johnson isn't concerned. For a legend whose game was based on making his teammates better for years, the explanation is simple: if LeBron serves as a playmaker, the talent around him won't be a problem but an advantage.
