Love them or hate them, the Los Angeles Lakers long represented the closest thing the NBA had to a proverbial land of milk and honey. For the better part of three decades, the club often had a surplus of star players, the winning was robust, and championships weren’t all that rare. Then they were hit with what equates to a biblical drought for their fans: a five-season stretch without a playoff berth. But on Sunday night, the sky opened up and watered the thirsting Laker franchise, as LeBron James, the world’s best basketball player, chose to join the Los Angeles club as a free agent, agreeing to a four-year, $154 million deal, according to Klutch Sports, the sports management agency that represents James. James’s choice will change the NBA landscape for obvious reasons.
