    I was sitting next to my buddy playing 2k at his gfs house and we immediately went to play at the park across the street. We were so fucking pumped as lifelong Laker fans

  2. The King has a new throne, and it’s purple & gold.

  3. YesterShill

    Was thrilled. I know a lot of Lakers fans had a negative reaction, but LBJ won me over with the 2016 finals.

    It was a cool moment. It’s weird to think he’s been on the lakers longer than other stints but I will always think of him as a heat and cav before a laker

  5. HughGRextion

    i was geeked, he was in the middle of 8 straight finals appearances so i was ready for the chip

    I was at a gas station in my hometown checking twitter and our family group chat starting lighting up like crazy

    I went from hating Lebron to loving him.

    I picked up my wife and twirled her around the kitchen. She was not prepared for this

    Finally the Lakers isn’t a team of bums anymore.

    I got front row preseason tickets before the annoucement. They cost about 60 bucks each. Once Lebron signed, the resale value jumped up to 600 dollars each.

    Anyone can say how much he left on the table? What could he have got?

  13. outsidehere

    No more player development. It’s time for a ring

    the rumors were everywhere, but like what star wasn’t rumored to be with the lakers for all the previous years Kobe was gone? i’m more shocked someone actually trusted the org enough to make it happen. if you take all of that away, however, i don’t think i ever saw posts about him going into anywhere else besides California. all the narratives went into golden state or lakers. i guess i just followed trends and assumed he was cali-bound but hoping it was with the lakers.

    Anyone remember how dog shit we actually were?

    Bron fucking saved us lmao

  16. I couldn’t believe it. Turned on spectrum and felt surreal

  17. GGFrostKaiser

    Something a bit random: But Freddie Prinze Jr. (the actor) at around 6 months prior to LeBron signing, in one of his podcasts said he was coming to the Lakers. Because he does work with Jeanie Buss, Jeanie basically said things were really advanced with LeBron.

    I remember telling all my friends but nobody believed me because LeBron was coming to a Lakers with no star players.

  18. nekomekomon

    Why does Woj look like he died in this graphic? lol

  19. sadclown21

    I was at the gym with my gf and I went outside the gym and jumped and screamed like a 10 year old

  20. I was in vegas all bummed that PG13 re-signed with OKC.. I needed that news that LeBron was coming.

    Although the VP or the NY Knicks told my wife he was coming to LA a few months before that, he added “just for Hollywood”

    But I needed that news

    Bling-a-ding-ding, here comes some rings.

  22. sportsfanbrowsing

    I became a fan. Laker fans embrace lakers! 🥰

  23. motorboat_mcgee

    I was apprehensive because I was afraid he was going to send off all our young guys for his friends.

    And well, that happened, but at least we got a ring out of it!

  24. roniadotnet

    I was driving when I saw the notification pop up on my phone. I stopped driving for a moment to enjoy the news.

  25. Honestly, I wasn’t thrilled about it. Not because I disliked LeBron, I was a huge LeBron fan. I was more skeptical about the Lakers fanbase. Prior to his joining the team, the only thing lakers flairs and celtics flairs agreed on was their mutual hate of LeBron on r/nba. Even after he joined, this sub was pretty divided until the championship. I think Game of Zones did a whole bit on it if I remember correctly.
