News about Jeanie Buss

Basketball fans have been left fearing for the health of NBA legend Michael Jordan after a photo of him in Monaco quickly went viral. On Thursday, the six-time NBA champion was at the Stade Louis-II with his wife Yvette Prieto to watch Monaco beat Barcelona in the Champions League. Acknowledging his presence, Bleacher Report posted a picture of Jordan at the game. However, the comment section flagged the former Chicago Bulls star's worryingly-yellow eyes.

and not LeBron James, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. 'I'm told LeBron James is not involved in the Lakers head coaching search,' Charania told FanDuel TV host Michelle Beadle on Monday. 'LeBron James has made it clear this is the organization's decision.' Under normal circumstances, it would go without saying that Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka and team owner Jeanie Buss would be picking Darvin Ham's replacement after the former coach was let go following LA's first-round defeat to the Denver Nuggets. However, James isn't just any player. The 39-year-old future Hall of Famer has a reputation for influencing coaching hires, and whether that's justified or not, the Lakers are reportedly interested in JJ Redick, the former Duke star and NBA sharpshooter, who happens to co-host a podcast with James himself.

While cruising on the interstate, the Lakers star had four slides with just one hand on the wheel. Each slide featured a different R&B song as he advanced. Although some drivers mocked James with quips and movie references, others were concerned with his video postings on high speeds. In the meantime, several people mocked his driving gloves. One user wrote, 'Gross precedent set by Lebron is that driving while driving is legal.' 'Not my goat,' says the narrator.'

Coach Taylor Jenkins of the Memphis Grizzlies lost his temper during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night after LeBron James appeared to lash out at Jaren Jackson Jr. with an elbow. As the Lakers legend threw an elbow in the Grizzlies' direction in the middle of the third quarter at Crypto.com Arena, James and Jackson were apparently fighting it out for a loose ball on the floor. A tumultuous Jenkins stepped out to demand a foul but only for his marches to fall on deaf ears as LeBron avoided any punishment from the authorities.

Jeanie Buss, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, and comedian Jay Mohr have officially married. The happy couple married during a 'intimate' wedding reception that attracted 20 people and took place in Malibu, California, according to TMZ. The happy couple, who had previously posted a tender moment during a Lakers game earlier this year, decamped to a local beach for a post-wedding photoshoot.

According to DailyMail.com, the promised Kobe Bryant statue outside the Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena would include his daughter Gigi and - in a nod to his jersey numbers, 8 and 24 - on August 8, 2024. After his 13-year-old daughter, Gigi, six colleagues, and a pilot died in a helicopter crash in January of 2020, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss revealed plans to erect a monument for Bryant. According to DailyMail.com, Bryant's widow, Vanessa, is involved in the plans, but she has been warned that an artist for the work has not yet been selected.

He hasn't finished, but Lakers owner Jeanie Buss said in a recent interview that LeBron James will have his jersey retired by the Lakers if he wants to focus on his legendary career. James earned the Lakers a championship in 2020 and he will return to the franchise for the sixth season this season. After James is inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, Buss told Sportskeeda that his jersey will be hanged in the rafters.

After the Lakers (inset: owner Jeanie Buss) were swept by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals, the NBA superstar (left and right) made national television news with his remarks, with the legendary forward saying, 'I have a lot to think about.' Following reports, the 38-year-old was indeed considering retirement, and if he did, he was uncertain it would be with the Lakers. However, a source close to LeBron has informed DailyMail.com that an impending retirement for LeBron is in fact 'unfathomable,' and not on the agenda.' Rather, the players argue that the forward is using the media circus around his retirement announcement to distract attention away from the Lakers' humiliating clean sweep loss and instead see how far the team is able to keep him alive ahead of an offseason rebuild.

Jeanie Buss sat courtside in Los Angeles on Sunday in Los Angeles, looking fashionable. The controlling owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, 61, who attended the late Kobe Bryant's hand and footprint funeral, backed her team's black leather jacket, a black button down shirt, and faded jeans. The sports executive sported a black leather purse on her lap.

After selling his original ones to raise funds for Ukraine in the war against Russia, former Los Angeles Laker Slava Medvedenko was given a new NBA championship ring. In February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine, and the two countries have been fighting ever since. Medvedenko's rings went for $253,534, with all of the funds going to his Fly High Foundation, which focuses on rebuilding sports facilities and schools in areas that have been hardest by the conflict.

After publicly announcing their participation last month, Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and fiancé Jay Mohr ecstatically kissed at a home game on Monday. In leather jackets, the 61-year-old controlling owner of the Lakers and comedian Jay, 52, were seen in courtside as they shared a smooch before the game between the Lakers and the Houston Rockets at Crypto.com. Jeanie's blonde hair fell below her shoulders as she crept in, while Jay wore a white fedora hat with a checkered band for the game played on the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday.

Jeanie Buss, the owner of Los Angeles, has confirmed her marriage to comedian Jay Mohr six years after shedding her well-publicized love with former team coach Phil Jackson. TMZ revealed on Wednesday that Mohr, 52, and Buss, 61, had bonded over their shared passions for sports and comedy. She was recently photographed sporting what seemed to be an engagement ring, sparking rumors that the couple was going to marry. The couple was 'quietly dating' before they began to play together at Lakers games, according to TMZ in 2017. Buss inherited the Lakers from her father, Dr. Jerry Buss, who bought the team in 1979 before Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson & Co., went on to win five NBA titles in the 1980s. With Jackson coaching superstar Kobe Bryant as one of many, the Lakers will win another five titles in the new millennium. The senior Buss died in 2013, but the team has since tied the Boston Celtics for their 17th NBA title, with Jeanie in the owner's box.

As Jeanie Buss named Michael Jordan as the Greatest of All Time, she snubbed her team's own star LeBron James. The GOAT debate has existed for as long as time has existed, and Jordan has argued for the best part of 30 years. He appeared in all six of his Finals appearances and was named Defensive Player of the Year five times, has 10 scoring titles, and was named Defensive Player of the Year. And, although she had a stake in basketball, Buss did not go for James, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, or Kobe Bryant when naming her pick, instead she praised Jordan as the GOAT.
