Silly or Philly? LeBron swats talk of Philadelphia visit

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- This LeBron James-to-Philly stuff is getting either silly -- or serious.

Just days after three billboards, paid for by a Pennsylvania company, popped up in Ohio urging James to sign with the 76ers this summer as a free agent, there were reports that the three-time NBA champion was spotted in the Philadelphia area over the All-Star break touring area high schools.

Sixers TV game analyst Alaa Abdelnaby said he was told that James, who has three kids, looked at private schools in Philadelphia last month.
