Former Lakers star Kobe Bryant took to social media after the LeBron James to Los Angeles news broke on Sunday. The Black Mamba appeared to have welcomed the news.
Welcome to the family @KingJames #lakers4life #striveforgreatness @JeanieBuss @MagicJohnson and RP well done!!! ??

We all know deep down he hates the move. Some are even suggesting the Lakers4Life hashtag is a subtle dig at LeBron for switching teams.
But the real reason Bryant hates the moves is all of the milestones LeBron will reach while in a Lakers uniform. He’s already struck his name from the G.O.A.T. discussion and now this.
What happens if LeBron manages to win a few rings in Los Angeles? Kobe won’t just be wiped clean from the greatest of all-time discussion, he’ll be overshadowed in the minds of Lakers fans as well.
