Celebs and Fans React to Lebron Joining the Lakers

The news that the entire sports world was waiting to hear came down on Sunday night, as reports confirmed that LeBron James had joined the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Cavaliers forward shunned offers from the Rockets, 76ers, and his own Cleveland Cavaliers, in order to sign a 4-year $153.3 million deal with Los Angeles.

Naturally, Twitter had some thoughts on the subject:

Former Laker greats chimed in:

I am sure the Lakernation is rejoicing The acquisition of LeBron James means that the Lakers are just a smidgen away from being real contenders. Congrats to @MagicJohnson & @LALakersLive et al. Cross your fingers for news from San Antonio.
