As with every time, LeBron James joins a new team when he joined the Los Angeles Lakers, it was a huge deal. Of course, one of the most iconic players ever joining such a storied franchise almost felt inevitable.

“I came to the Lakers cause I wanted to help Jeanie win championships, bring that Spark back to the Lakers and see my family blossom in SoCal. Why would I make a decision on how someone else is treated. Mama always said ‘Stay out of grown folks business’,” he wrote on X.
