Jeanie Buss, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, has divided opinions among NBA fans following a peculiar video from the teamās recent game. Buss, accustomed to media attention as the owner of one of Americaās most renowned sports franchises, has found herself at the center of debate once again.
Over the past few months, Jeanie Buss has been no stranger to controversy. She accused another NBA owner of groping her, was involved in a seemingly similar incident with Dwyane Wade, and made inappropriate remarks about the late Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.
The latest topic sparking discussion among fans regarding Buss was her interaction with the renowned rapper NLE Choppa at the recent Lakers game. While greeting individuals at courtside, she shared an embrace with the rapper. However, things took an interesting turn when he appeared to initiate a second hug, leading to a brief exchange of words, possibly due to the noise level of the room rather than any intention for secrecy.
There appears to be a notable disagreement among online fans regarding the nature of the exchange and who displayed more unusual behavior. One user shared their perspective on Twitter, suggesting, āI think she was trying to avoid the first guyās touch somehow.ā

Another perspective suggests that NLE Choppa initiated the physical contact, and Jeanie Buss seemed visibly displeased by it. As of now, neither party has provided any comments on the matter. Thus, all we can do at this point is speculate about the nature of their interaction.
Jeanie Buss confirms LA Lakersā plan to retire LeBron Jamesā jersey
LeBron James has already etched his name into the Los Angeles Lakers lore by clinching the 2020 NBA Championship during the season affected by the global pandemic, where teams competed inside the bubble. This monumental achievement solidified Jamesā place in the teamās history, a fact not lost on owner Jeanie Buss, who commends him for it.

Both numbers hold significance in his career, with Jeanie Buss acknowledging the uncertainty over which will be retired. Buss values Jamesā support for the Lakers during tough times as much as his championship win with the team.
The Los Angeles Lakers have a precedent of retiring two jersey numbers for a player, as seen with Kobe Bryantās No. 24 and No. 8 jerseys. While Bryantās jerseys were retired before his Hall of Fame induction, LeBron James may have to go through the standard process before his jersey joins Lakers legends in the rafters. Additionally, James is likely to have his jersey retired by the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat for his contributions to their franchises.
