Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James said the team’s recent ownership turmoil will not affect his play, emphasizing that he has learned to tune out “outside noise” throughout his career.
The comment comes amid a well-publicized dispute involving members of the Buss family, who control the franchise. While details of the disagreement remain off the court, James insisted he remains focused on basketball and helping the Lakers pursue wins.
“I know how to play through outside noise,” he said, noting that similar distractions have surrounded various teams he has played on over two decades in the NBA.
James added that maintaining professionalism is essential for both veterans and younger teammates, and stressed that internal matters above the players’ level are “for the front office to handle.”
The four-time NBA champion enters the week averaging strong numbers once again, reinforcing his point that external issues have no bearing on his on-court productivity.
