LeBron James Should Just Take The Train To His New Job

LeBron James is coming to Philadelphia, a fact anyone who lives in Philly would have learned from interacting with strangers on the street, no matter their interest in basketball. This is salient because, according to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, James will not be among the ranks of those living in Philly. Instead, he will be living in New York City and commuting to Philly, potentially via helicopter.

This is a forgivable error if one has never lived along the Northeast Corridor and experienced its bounteous public transit, thus remaining ignorant to the plethora of options at his disposal, all of which are surely safer, if not necessarily quicker, than taking a helicopter. James has tragically spent the past eight years of his life in Los Angeles. Being LeBron James, making a LeBron James–scale salary, he surely never had to take LA Metro to either Pico or 7th Street/Metro Center and walk to the arena. But now that he has taken a severe pay cut, it is time to consider more frugal options. Here are just a few alternative commutes for LeBron James to consider.
