I was playing 2k with my dad (who was *positive* LeBron would never come to LA) when this popped up on my phone and my dad and I were restless the rest of the day

In bed and about to sleep. I also remember a mini series Chris Smoove made all about what LeBron’s next potential team would be lmao

I was a huge LeBron hater. Respected his game and who he is as a person, always wanted him on the losing end.
I was living in a shelter at the time with my girl and my 1 year old Son. My phone was disconnected but I was able to connect to a free Wi-Fi from a restaurant next door. But I had to hold the phone near the window to get decent connection.
Spent the few days looking for jobs and refreshing Reddit at the same time. I believe a lot of us were also F5’ing to see where Kawhi would land as well. Surely enough I refreshed all evening on July 1st when the Woj bomb dropped. My feelings changed for LeBron immediately. Truly a memorable moment

I was 18 years old, homeless and staying at a hotel. I ran outside towards the balcony when I got the notification in excitement.
Watching him, and the NBA playoffs that year in general really brought me a bit of joy.
I wasn’t sure if he’d actually sign with us I remember the rumors that Houston or Philly were top destinations for him and they were better constructed teams that could go deeper in the playoffs. Our guys were just rookies and sophomores but when he did I was super happy

We were all glued to the tv watching news cam footage of him coming out of an airplane and guessing where he was going.

Home on my phone I was so excited cause i already loved lebron. I wouldn’t believe it until it was true. One of the greatest moments as a lakers fan cause I grew up watching us lose throughout the 2010s

I taking a shit when I read it. I was on pain pills that would give a little high when I took the first pill of the day, but when I popped the tablet after my deuce that day there was no high because I just had a massive endorphin rush when I read the news. True story.

Driving back from Arizona to Vegas with my Dad. In the mountains with spotty reception. Sirius finally picked up clearly with the announcement. Dad and I alternated between listening to NBA radio and blasting I Love LA. Great memory.

Driving back home to my parents house. It was a 3 hour drive, and in the middle of the drive I had to pull over once I saw the notification. What a crazy time
I almost didn’t believe it I thought we were being rickrolled lol

At the time I was living in a homeless shelter with my wife and my wife’s boyfriends child. I was ecstatic, I couldn’t believe we would become LeLakers

It was weird seeing him in the yellow jersey back then. Now it’s already engraved.
