CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James agreed to a four-year, $154 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday, ending his second run as the face of his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James, born in Akron and drafted No. 1 by the Cavs in 2003, is leaving the Cavs for the second time in eight seasons. But this time, it's two-years removed from bringing the organization its first title.

Big Laker fan during the Kareem-Magic years.

Still a bit during the Shaq-Kobe years.

Now that he race thing is some prominent, I could care less.

I had a feeling. Hope he’s not as arrogant as Kobe.

There is no one to sign that will win them a championship. Kawhi Leonard is what they’d have to have and they will have to trade for him.

Might as well make LeBron the player-coach, because for all intents and purposes, he will be their coach.

Did Magic Johnson ink this deal with James?

I’ll say one thing Magic’s daughter is a mighty cute brown girl

Good luck with that daddy

How about Colavito? Or if you want a name that can’t be denied then Jim Brown.

I'd stick with Colavito. He never punched a girl friend through a hotel window as did Brown.

What happens when you ask LeBron James for change for a dollar bill?

He gives you three quarters.

LaVar will be LeBron’s worst nightmare.....Lonzo’s father is a egomaniac.
