'I don't really care about articles. I don't care about stories. I don't care about podcasts,' LeBron told reporters

After the Lakers' loss to the Clippers on Thursday, LeBron James was asked about the ESPN report that mentioned a rift between him and Jeanie Buss.

Amid rumors of tension between Los Angeles Lakers governor Jeanie Buss and superstar player LeBron James, Klutch Sports Group founder Rich Paul downplayed any potential issues this week.

"I'm 41 years old, and I watch golf every day. I don't care about an article. I don't care how somebody feels about me."

The Warriors may not have given up on their dream of pairing LeBron James with Stephen Curry.

The ESPN article, which primarily focused on the Buss family ownership dynamics, alleged that Buss was irked by James’ ego and the influence that he and his representation from Klutch Sports had over the franchise. Buss disputed the story.

The 2026 NBA All-Star Game starters -- voted on by fans (50%), players (25%) and media (25%) -- were announced earlier this week. In the East, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brunson and Jaylen Brown were selected.

LeBron planted the seeds of the Heat Big 3.
