    I get all Woj tweets as notifications on my phone. I don't mess around.

    I was in a meeting and was trying to be professional, but could feel my phone exploding in my pocket. I rushed through the end and left the meeting immediately knowing why my phone had blown up.

    I was at work - talking to a co-worker. I said to him, 'let me check to see if we have any Lakers updates." Checked Lakers Ball - seen the Tweet and started jumping up and down with excitement.

    I was on my way back from my daughter's wedding reception in Utah. We had just rolled into Orange County.

    Hosting a crab boil at my house with all my friends. Just had baseball on ESPN cause nothing else was on then my friend pointed out on the ticker on the bottom said Lebron signed with us.

    I couldn’t believe it, I had to grab my phone and check.

    I might have the best story of them all...

    I was spending "quality time" with the girlfriend. Afterwards, I checked my phone as I've been pretty much glued to Twitter/LB just refreshing constantly. As soon as it lit up, several missed calls and text messages, along with the notification that LeBron is going to LA. I found out probably a half hour/45 minutes after the news broke.

    Safe to say, it was a euphoric couple of hours.

    I was binging the latest season of Arrow on Netflix, decided to take a short break and check BR. I don’t get notifications on my phone because I have them turned off. They kind of annoy me. I’m weird like that. But my timing was impeccable because that first tweet from Klutch had just posted. No other articles had come up. Refreshed for a solid 5 minutes just to make sure it wasn’t a hoax. Came to LB for further confirmation.

    I was at work trying to keep up with the forums (unlike @KareemtheGreat33, who had the audacity to schedule a meeting during the first day of Free Agency and potentially the start of one of the biggest offseasons in Los Angeles Lakers history).

    Actually he is from California (so no, thank goodness!) but he and my daughter are both going to school in Utah. Plus, both families have many friends and extended family living in Utah.

    I'm not sure. But I know it was a completely forgettable moment in time for me personally.

    People sometimes remember tragic events, but apparently I block that stuff out. I think I lost a few hours tbh.
