LeBron James is calling “cap” on a recent report about him.
The Los Angeles Lakers star was the subject of an interesting claim this week in a report by Ramona Shelburne of ESPN. Shelburne said that “part of the reason” James came to the Lakers in 2018 was because he was impressed by how the team treated the late Kobe Bryant during the final seasons of Bryant’s career.
James openly disputed that notion in a post to his X page on Saturday.
“I came to the Lakers cause I wanted to help [Lakers owner] Jeanie [Buss] win championships, bring that Spark back to the Lakers and see my family blossom in SoCal,” he wrote (along with a cap emoji). “Why would I make a decision on how someone else is treated. Mama always said ‘Stay out of grown folks business’.”
