Amid the Lakers’ disappointing Western Conference series, LeBron James’ legendary former teammate Carmelo Anthony announced his retirement on Monday. In response to the legend’s decision, James, Kevin Durant and several stars from the NBA world expressed their wishes through social media. Moreover, King James went a notch up, as he was featured in a video alongside Anthony Davis and Rui Hachimura wishing the star via the Lakers’ Twitter handle.
