LeBron James choosing LA 

During this past summer, the biggest story of NBA Free Agency was LeBron James deciding to join the Los Angeles Lakers. It’s a move that nearly everyone saw coming and one that made sense for many different reasons.

The Lakers aren’t necessarily the cream of the crop in the NBA right now but they do have LeBron and when you have LeBron you always have a chance. The thought is that this team will continue to build and will add a star sooner rather than later.

But they wouldn’t be in this situation without having LeBron make the first move this past summer. And that’s exactly what he did when he said yes to Los Angeles.
