Los Angeles, July 16: NBA superstar LeBron James made his first appearance as an official Los Angeles Laker on Sunday (July 15).
James – who left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Lakers – attended a Las Vegas Summer League game and it appears LA fans are excited to have him in Los Angeles.
The four-time MVP received a warm standing ovation as he walked into the Thomas & Mack Center minutes before tip-off.
James, who signed a four-year, $153million deal earlier this month, went on the court and gave Lakers guard Josh Hart a hug before taking a seat courtside.
