"AD x Reaves x Giannis it’s happening," a fan wrote.
Another fan is already looking forward to Antetokounmpo as a Laker but without LeBron James:

A Denver Nuggets fan riding high on their championship took the opportunity to take a shot at the Lakers and LeBron James:
"Finally, it looks like the Lakers will be getting a star-caliber player after the days of Kobe Bryant."
