After carrying the Cleveland Cavaliers on his back to four straight finals and winning it all in 2016, there were a lot of rumblings in the NBA regarding James' free agency decision after the season got over.

On July 1st, James announced that he was signing a four year, $153.3 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers and that decision of his turned the league upside down. Cleveland fans thanked the four-time MVP for bringing home their only championship.

Los Angeles fans obviously got excited on hearing the news and the entire media went bonkers. The NBA news was filled with articles on James for the next one month and the analysts started making their predictions for the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2018-19 season.

On October 18, 2018, LeBron made his debut for the Los Angeles Lakers and had 26 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists to put together a double-double in the loss against the Portland Trail Blazers.
