LeBron James had not just the NBA, but the entire sports world buzzing after making his decision to join the Los Angeles Lakers in free agency on Sunday.

The NBA was holding their collective breath this summer in anticipation of James, who is leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers for a second time, but not before delivering the franchise an iconic title in 2016.

James’ decision was announced in the most nondescript manner possible, with his agency, Klutch Sports, making the announcement with a simple press release. It was practically the antithesis of ‘The Decision’, the bloated television special James did back in 2010 when he switched teams for the first time by leaving the Cavaliers for the Miami Heat.

LeBron’s new teammates, former Lakers legends, other players around the league and even celebrities took to social media to react to James coming to L.A.
