Celebs James Corden, Ludacris, Chrissy Teigen and others welcome LeBron James to the Los Angeles Lakers
The basketball star has agreed to a four-year, US$153.3 million deal with the Lakers
Los Angeles is getting a king: King James, to be exact. And from their tweets about LeBron James’ decision to join the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems the stars are looking forward to having a new ruler on their home court.
James Corden clearly thought the news was fire. “Me and @KingJames walking into LA,” the Late Late Show host captioned a pic of himself and James in front of a car set ablaze.
Corden wasn’t the only one with jokes. Referencing an episode of Full House that featured Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, John Stamos tweeted, “Kareem, LeBron is on my sweet spot …”
Rob Lowe, who was in South Africa when he received word, was stoked for his home team.
“Waking up in South Africa to the news that the @Lakers are BACK! Congratulations @JeanieBuss @MagicJohnson Welcome, @KingJames,” Lowe tweeted.
Chrissy Teigen welcomed the athlete by giving him the lowdown on life in La La Land. “@KingJames welcome to LA!” she tweeted. “Friday is sunset rosé, laser facials on Monday. the rest of the week is running into people you don’t like at soho house”
Ice Cube also issued a warm welcome. “There is a God! Must be Magic!” he posted, adding “#happydaysarehereagain.”
