LeBron James just took his gigantic purple ball ... and went to Italy!

King James landed in Positano early Monday, hours after it was announced he would be joining the Los Angeles Lakers. He was seen boarding a yacht with his family, and is already holding a big purple exercise ball and wearing light-purple socks.

James and family have been jet setting around the world, as we reported they flew from Cleveland to Miami, then to Anguilla, landed in Van Nuys over the weekend to lock up the Lakers deal and now they are back in Europe.

He's definitely got 154 million reasons to enjoy this particular Summer vacation.
