The historic game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder drew a large crowd of sports fans, including Lakers president Jeanie Buss and former NBA player Dwyane Wade.
The game generated unimaginable hype prior to Lakers superstar LeBron James’ opportunity to break another Lakers legend’s scoring record, Kareem Abdul Jabbar‘s. Lebron James did exactly what he was supposed to do: score 38 points and lead the table with just three points.
Before the Lakers star turned all eyes on him, however, the president was caught making an awkward gesture with his former teammate Dwyane Wade.
What did Jeanie Buss do with Dwayne Wade last night?
The 61-year-old sports executive was seen sitting behind the former Miami Heat star, and suddenly she started rubbing her hand on the 6.4-footer’s back and shoulder.

The cameraman should be given a reward for catching them in the act at the perfect moment. Jeanies’ strange, creepy massage put the Utah Jazz owner in an awkward position.
Wade, 41, had previously shared the court with James during his and the Cavaliers’ tenures. After retiring from professional basketball in 2019, he bought a share of the Jazz in 2021 and became a co-owner of the franchise.
Dwayne never imagined he’d be in such a pickle with Jeanie last night. He married Gabrielle Union in 2014, and the couple has had one child since then.
On the other hand, Buss inherited her father’s business empire in 2013 and became the president of the Lakers. Aside from her NBA ownership, she is also a co-owner of the Women of Wrestling promotion.
The owner has been dating celebrities from the sports industry, including the former Lakers coach and New York Knicks president, Phil Jackson. However, she is currently engaged to Jay Mohr.
Despite their successful personal lives, the duo’s actions have raised some eyebrows on social media. However, the focus naturally shifted from them once LeBron started dunking baskets.
What’s your reaction to watching Jeanie Buss rub Dwayne Wade’s shoulder? Let us know in the comment section.
Sounds like you’re trying to make something out of nothing. I believe she was simply caught up in the excitement of what was taking place with one of her star players.
Stop! Nothing here and let’s move on.
I’m available right now with no strings attached Larry
