“As a hoop fan, you’re always hopeful that something that looked like could be a dynasty would stay together,” said former NBA guard Austin Rivers, now a television analyst. “That’s no different than when you say Klay [Thompson] and Steph [Curry], or Scottie [Pippen] and [Michael] Jordan, or Shaq [O’Neal] and Kobe [Bryant].

NEW YORK — The 76ers sent an opening-night message they’ll be a contender for the Knicks’ NBA title after adding LeBron James and Jaylen Brown, rallying for a 106-100 victory Tuesday. Tyrese Maxey scored 28 points and Brown had 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists in his first game since being acquired from Boston. James began his NBA-record 24th season by finishing with 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists. The 76ers got three 3-pointers from Anfernee Simons and two from fellow newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, as the reserves took advantage of the open looks they got when the Knicks were caught focusing too much on the bigger names. Jalen Brunson scored 21 points but the NBA Finals MVP shot just 6 for 19 from the field.
