The King of L.A. has arrived in Sin City to get a closer look at just what he’s signed up for the next four years for.
Los Angeles Lakers super signing LeBron James was spotted at Las Vegas Summer League Sunday afternoon wearing his new squad’s signature Forum blue and gold shorts to watch the Lakers Summer League team take on the Detroit Pistons in the quarter-finals of the LVSL tournament.

On hand to greet James in Vegas was new teammate Brandon Ingram. The pair seemed very to see each other.
James agreed to a four-year, $154-million contract with the Lakers shortly after free agency opened on July 1.
His appearance in Vegas, while unnecessary, is a nice gesture from James, particularly as he begins to build trust with new teammates such as Ingram and Josh Hart, who is playing on the Lakers Summer League team at the moment and figures to be on the main squad this coming season.
