Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has forcefully addressed and rejected recent speculation concerning superstar LeBron James and the nature of their professional relationship. Buss explicitly labeled the circulating rumors as “completely unfair,” emphasizing that they inappropriately draw James into the internal affairs of the Buss family.
Her statements come as a direct response to various reports suggesting a potential strain or tension between the team’s ownership and its most prominent player. Buss further clarified her position, stressing that LeBron James is not, and should not be, involved in or blamed for any ongoing Buss family issues, firmly separating the player from ownership’s internal dynamics.
