The Los Angeles Lakers are always a hot ticket in Tinseltown. They are one of the most popular sports franchises in any league despite having some poor seasons in recent years. However, that poor performance should come to an end this upcoming season.
The Lakers were one of the biggest winners in free agency this summer. Los Angeles was able to land superstar LeBron James with a four-year, $154 million deal. Magic Johnson and Rob Pelinka were promising to land a superstar and they came through on the promise.
James is arguably the most recognizable basketball player on the planet.
