It’s true.
LeBron James is now officially a Laker. Klutch Sports Group and ESPN Senior NBA Insider, Adrian Wojnarowski, broke the news that LeBron has agreed to a four-year $154 million contract with the Lakers.
With the big news (this is quite shocking to some), here is how the world is reacting on Twitter:

The 9-yr-old: “Are the Lakers a good team?”
Me: “They are now.”
9-yr-old: “LeBron James makes a bad team good?”
Me: “Yep.”
And that’s the LeBron James Story.

As a Lakers fan since July 2018 I can’t even put into words how much LeBron James signing with us means to me

I was never a fan of LeBron James, but I wasn’t a hater either. I’m excited to see what’s in store for the Lakers this year

This is truly AMAZING. As a long time loyal @Lakers fan, I am truly happy and overjoyed @KingJames is a Los Angeles Laker. I’m just glad I stayed loyal to my LA Lakers and I couldn’t be prouder to be an LA Lakers Faithful Fan. I LOVE LeBron James. Welcome to Los Angeles, LeBron! pic.twitter.com/0do5orBaS5

If I had any influence, LeBron James would not be going to the @Lakers .

Lebron James going to Lakers. Mannnn, Celtics vs. Lakers rivalry relieved! 👌

Hat tip to Magic. Any time you can pair a guy who thinks he’s the best player on the court at all times with LeBron James, you just have to do it. https://t.co/D0Vc8RdC4g

It really is RT @ZachLowe_NBA: When you sit back and let it just hit you — LeBron James is on the Los Angeles Lakers — man, it really hits you. LeBron is a Laker. That is nuts.
