Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has declared her belief that LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time, following his impressive performance leading Team USA to another gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

“He might be the greatest of all time,” Buss told the Los Angeles Times. “He consistently delivers. He puts in the work. He’s not only a worldwide brand, but he is our leader.”

Buss, who has been running the Lakers since 2013, has witnessed the team transition from the Kobe Bryant era to the LeBron James era, culminating in a championship victory in 2020. She has placed immense trust in James, empowering him to take control of the team.

Despite his age (39), James was named MVP of the Olympics, showcasing his continued dominance on the court. The Lakers, with a largely unchanged roster from last season, are hoping to leverage James’s star power and leadership to achieve further success.

While the Lakers face stiff competition in the Western Conference, Buss and General Manager Rob Pelinka remain confident in their star players’ ability to maintain relevance in the title race. With the additions of LeBron’s son Bronny James and Dalton Knecht to the team, there is a potential for a strong playoff run.

The article concludes by stating that while James may not be able to match the intensity of Michael Jordan, his accomplishments and continued excellence have solidified his place in the GOAT debate.
