Last season was one to forget for the Los Angeles Lakers and LeBron James. It was a truly horrendous year, as they failed to make the postseason.
The lackluster performances had many questioning what the Lakers’ next move would be. Many even believed the team could lose King James, as he was only under contract for one more season.
Fortunately, those rumors were put to rest, as James signed a massive two-year $97 million extension to stay suited up in the purple and gold!

Just for context here, the monetary value of the things being bet in total here are a whopping $900. That is insane.
It certainly is one of the more bizarre bets that have been placed. For LeBron and Shannon’s sake, we hope the Lakers can go all the way and win it.
