Collin Sexton points out a wild LeBron James coincidence

Once again, Collin Sexton is late to the LeBron James party. For the second time in his NBA career, the former Alabama Crimson Tide guard arrives on a team just as the four-time NBA Most Valuable Player is leaving.

It happened before in 2018, when Sexton was selected in the first round of that year’s NBA draft, while James was on his way out of Cleveland to eventually sign with the Lakers. This time around, Sexton found his way to Hollywood by agreeing to a 2-year, $19.2 million contract with the Lakers. James, on the other hand, is leaving LA after eight seasons.

The trend prompted a hilarious comment from Sexton. 

“He’s just leaving every time I arrive,” Sexton said, via Khobi Price of the California Post. “One of the other coaches made the same joke yesterday. I’ve always wanted to team up with him, for sure.”
