Unless you live under the world’s biggest rock, by now you’ve already heard that LeBron James will spend the next four years of his professional basketball career as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers and will be getting paid $154 million to do so.
As expected, the internet went NUTS over the news and took no time posting hilarious memes, jokes and GIFs all over social media, especially Twitter. And while most of the memes focused on LeBron’s “Decision 2018,” a fair amount of them also focused on Lance Stephen also agreeing to join LeBron in his new quest to add to his collection of championship rings. Kobe Bryant, J.R. Smith and Lonzo Ball also made a few appearances.
Check out some of the best/funniest reactions to LeBron James joining the L.A. Lakers below:
