LeBron James’ home debut for the Philadelphia 76ers left viewers complaining about one thing: odd blue lighting.

The James era is underway in Philadelphia following an opening night win. On Tuesday, the 76ers crashed the New York Knicks’ ring ceremony and banner-raising night by clinching a 106-100 win at Madison Square Garden

Making his debut with a new franchise for just the fourth time in his storied career, James scored 14 points and added nine rebounds and seven assists in a fine showing. The 41-year-old had to overcome a hostile New York crowd, which culminated in a face-to-face showdown with one vocal fan.

However, James’ first game before the notoriously impassioned Philadelphia crowd did not go according to plan early on. Playing against his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the 76ers had no answer for Evan Mobley and Donovan Mitchell as the visitors stormed to a 35-18 lead in the first quarter.

At halftime, Cleveland led 69-45 as James’ home debut threatened to spiral out of control before fans in the Xfinity Mobile Arena.

But for those watching at home, the game was frustrating to watch as the court and broadcast donned an odd blue hue. It was unclear why this was the case, whether it was due to the lights in the arena or to the cameras suffering from incorrect color balancing.

Fans initially lashed out at ESPN, suggesting the network was to blame for the odd lighting mix.

One user wrote: “Is it the lighting in the 76ers arena or the ESPN broadcast that’s trash? It’s so muddy and blue. And before anyone comes at me about the screen……every other channel looks completely fine.”

“I feel like ESPN is broadcasting this with a blue colored lens,” another quipped. Another fan posted: “Why is the Sixers game actually blue rn can you fix the broadcast?”

One fan wrote: “It’s legitimately awful. Is this new arena lighting or just something wrong with the ESPN broadcast? It’s so blue and washed out - and the reflections on the court are TERRIBLE. Can’t be like this all season!!”

One more added: “I thought my tv was fried watching espn. This s--- got a blue tint.”

However, several users defended ESPN - slightly - by highlighting that the odd color stemmed from the 76ers’ lighting inside the stadium. One wrote: “It’s not ESPN, it’s the actual arena trying their new blue ‘theater show’ light.”

Another seemed to suggest ESPN needed to adjust to make it better despite the lighting being the choice of the arena, writing: “I think it’s the blue crowd lighting in the arena. Surprised ESPN hasn’t adjusted in-camera yet.”
