LeBron James calls out report about why he joined Lakers
NY Post
LeBron James denied a report by ESPN that he signed with the Lakers as a free agent in 2018 partly due to how the organization handled Kobe Bryant’s final seasons of his career with great care.
Taking to X on Saturday, the Lakers star shared a cap emoji and included a post by Legion Hoops that read: “Report: LeBron James joined Lakers partly because of how they handled final seasons of Kobe Bryant’s career.”
James explained why he moved his family from his native Cleveland, where he helped bring a championship to the Cavaliers in 2016, to Los Angeles.
“I came to the Lakers cause I wanted to help Jeanie win championships, bring that Spark back to the Lakers and see my family blossom in SoCal,” James wrote.
“Why would I make a decision on how someone else is treated. Mama always said ‘Stay out of grown folks business.'”
James has been open about how his wife, Savannah and kids — Lakers rookie Bronny, Bryce Maximus and daughter Zhuri — enjoy living in California.
