No, the Los Angeles Lakers haven't parted ways with LeBron James. He's still with the Lakers, slated to play this season on his $52.6 million player option. NBA Centel, the parody account, posted the fake news that has been viewed more than a million times.

If LeBron James wants to add to his NBA championship ring collection, which features one fewer than the late Kobe Bryant and two less than Micahel Jordan, then he must seriously consider splitting from the Los Angeles Lakers.

Over 23 seasons, James has redefined longevity, becoming the NBA’s all‑time leading scorer, a four‑time MVP, four‑time Finals MVP and four‑time champion, while earning 21 All‑Star nods and 13 First‑Team All‑NBA selections.
