Jeanie Buss was front and center at the Los Angeles Lakers’ Tuesday night game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
With LeBron James on the precipice of breaking the NBA’s all-time scoring record, she and numerous other dignitaries were in attendance.
Among the spectators there to see James make history was his close friend and former teammate, Dwyane Wade.
A particularly interesting exchange between Buss and Wade was caught by cameras early in the outing.

Understandably, NBA fans had a lot to say about that moment.
Particularly given that it seemed like Buss simply couldn’t keep her hands off Wade.

All in all, the Lakers have been in the headlines for some weird stuff over the past week. Between James’ strange encounter with a female fan and Michelle Beadle randomly going off on his son, Bronny, it has been one thing after another.
This was just par for the course.

Buss is no stranger to this sort of stuff. A few months ago she made headlines for comparing the handsomeness of multiple NBA players.
It’s safe to say she isn’t like most NBA owners out there.
Will Buss bother addressing this brouhaha involving Wade? Or will she simply ignore it and wait for it to go away? Time will tell.
