LeBron James didn’t play in Friday’s Los Angeles Lakers win over the Milwaukee Bucks due to ankle soreness, but the spotlight was still on him thanks to photos and videos on X (formerly Twitter).
During a timeout, he walked over to hang out with team owner Jeanie Buss and Linda Rambis, who works in the front office (and is married to Kurt Rambis). Videos show them joking around and laughing, which led to a lot of jokes online, including a whole bunch of talk about how the Lakers should fire embattled head coach Darvin Ham.
Here’s a roundup of some we found:
