1. Lebron James Signing

It’s been just over two months since LeBron announced he was signing with the Los Angeles Lakers, agreeing to a four-year, $154 million deal, and yet I still can’t believe it. I don’t think I will fully realize that LeBron is a Laker until he officially suits up and plays a game for the purple and gold.

I don’t think I have to go into detail about why this is so amazing and honestly this is the best I’ve ever felt about the Lakers going into a season since the 2012-2013 season.

Now granted, that was the season of the failed Kobe Bryant/Dwight Howard/Steve Nash experiment that ended with a first-round sweep by the San Antonio Spurs, but in terms of the hype leading up to the season, it’s right up there.

I just really wish I had a time machine so I could fast forward to the start of the season.
