Here’s proof LeBron James actually is a Los Angeles Laker.
The NBA superstar appeared in his first preseason game with his new team Sunday night at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, Calif. The Denver Nuggets have the distinction of being the first team to oppose James’ Lakers, and the NBA marked the occasion with some highlights.
James scored his first field goal as a Laker from way downtown.

We’ll admit these highlights are modest and promise there are better ones to come.
