LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — LeBron James left Cleveland for Los Angeles, the Midwest for the West Coast, the Cavaliers for the Lakers.
Enamored with NBA history, he not only wanted to play for one of the league’s iconic franchises, he wanted to win a title with the Los Angeles Lakers.
"There’s no reason you should become a Laker, became a Yankee, become part of Man U, become part of some franchise or clubs and you don’t think about winning championships or winning at the highest level," James said in Akron in the summer 2018 after signing with the Lakers.
