During the Lakers media day, NBA superstar LeBron James made a revelation to fans and anyone who was skeptical of his commitment to his team. When LeBron joined the Lakers in 2018, Lakers fans were unsure of him and found it hard to place trust in him. But he has undoubtedly proved to them all that he was here for the long run. Earlier on Aug 18, 2022, it was announced that James had signed a two-year extension contract with the franchise.
