LeBron James is expected to reside in New York City during his upcoming season with the Philadelphia 76ers. His decision is reportedly influenced by Zohran Mamdani's Pied-à-Terre tax policy, which affects properties not used as primary residences. Living in New York could allow James to establish a base while playing in Philadelphia, especially after the New York Knicks secured a title. Although he does not currently own a home in New York, it's possible he will purchase a residence soon. James' potential commuting to Philadelphia via helicopter has also been mentioned by ESPN's Shams Charania. His focus seems to be on creating a long-term lifestyle in New York as he approaches retirement.
