Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past three months you’ve probably heard about LeBron James signing with the Los Angeles Lakers in July. Of course, being the best basketball player in the world, this move attracted a lot of reporters and his first game as a Laker had a lot of anticipation building up to it. LeBron played the 2017-18 season as a Cleveland Cavalier winning one championship and he also spent some time in Miami, playing for the Heat, winning two championships. So wherever LeBron goes he’s brought a championship to that city and many Lakers fans are expecting the same from him this time around. As of last night, however, the Lakers lost to the Portland Trail Blazers 128-119 with LeBron getting 26 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists. Although the Lakers lost their first game LeBron certainly looked like the same player he’s always been and that more than anything should give Lakers fans hope everywhere.
