NBA superstar LeBron James joined the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018. The Lakers are one of the most successful teams in NBA history and have millions of fans around the world. The Purple and Gold have had some of the biggest names in basketball over the years. However, it was longing for a superstar ever since the retirement of the late legend Kobe Bryant. It was a match made in heaven, as James has been the face of the league for so many years now and has millions of fans himself.

Given his endorsement deals, movie interests, and superstardom, it could not get better than Los Angeles. However, in his first season in LA, James could not lead them to the playoffs. In the next year, the Lakers added another superstar Anthony Davis to their ranks. This proved pivotal for the organization as the chemistry between James and Davis grew.
