After spending four successful years in Cleveland and helping his hometown franchise end their championship drought, LeBron opted for a change in scenery, moving to the Los Angeles Lakers, which would have no doubt boosted his follower count by a few million at the very least.

King James has racked up a massive fan following in his 15+ year career in the NBA, thanks in part to his charitable off-court actions.
