Everyone made the same Rob Lowe joke after LeBron signed with Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers made their signing of LeBron James official Monday, but it was general manager Rob Pelinka's uncanny resemblance to actor Rob Lowe that quickly became the focus of NBA fans.
After Klutch Sports Group tweeted a picture of James signing his contract, Twitter responded with a slew of Pelinka-Lowe jokes.

Pelinka is well aware of his likeness to Lowe. During a Twitter Q&A last year, he suggested bringing Lowe to a Lakers game to prove they're two different people.
