Heading into the 2018-19 NBA season, the job security of Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton has been in question with the arrival of LeBron James in free agency.
But regardless of all the chatter, one person who Walton has always had in his corner is Lakers owner and president Jeanie Buss.
On numerous occasions, Buss has publicly backed Walton in the face of questions about his ability to lead the Lakers back to prominence and rumors that he wouldn’t make it through the rest of the season. Now with the season winding down, Buss stopped a little short of backing Walton.
