In case you didn’t know by now, LeBron James is the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers.
On Sunday evening, James announced via Klutch Sports that he was signing a 4-year, $154 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers, ending all speculation.
In the months and weeks leading up to LeBron’s decision, many wondered how other former Laker greats would feel about LeBron joining the Lakers — including one in particular, Kobe Bryant.
Well, Kobe took to Twitter to share his excitement with Laker Nation, welcoming James to Laker Land:
Welcome to the family @KingJames #lakers4life #striveforgreatness @JeanieBuss @MagicJohnson and RP well done!!! 🙌🏾

Kobe was also asked by ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne about his thoughts and he summed it up in three words:
Kobe Bryant will have a lot to say about LeBron in due time. For now, he says in all caps, “I LOVE IT.”
