In an era full of stars who can play multiple positions, LeBron James<\/a> is still arguably the most versatile of them all. And to take advantage of his versatility, the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a> may employ the NBA’s all-time leading scorer at point guard.\u00a0<\/p>\n ESPN insider Shams Charania even brought up the possibility during “NBA Today” on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n “We’re going to be looking at some point LeBron James this upcoming season. The 76ers are expecting LeBron James to play a good amount of time at the point guard position on offense, initiating the game,” said Charania.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n James, listed as mainly a small forward, has a track record of being one of the best facilitators in league history. He averaged 7.2 assists in 60 regular-season games in 2025-26 for the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>, carries a cumulative mark of 7.4 across his 23 seasons to date, and ranks fourth all-time in career assists with 12,016 assists, trailing only John Stockton, Chris Paul, and Jason Kidd, all quintessential point guards by nature.\u00a0<\/p>\n James’ size, athleticism, basketball IQ, ability to see the whole court and elite passing make him able to play, and even excel, at every position. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nLeBron James to play some point guard in 2026-27\u00a0<\/h2>\n
