Is Jeanie Buss' $15 million infamous tip to Luka Doncic's restaurant fact or fiction?

The recent controversy between the Los Angeles Clippers' Kawhi Leonard and Steve Ballmer has created heavy discontent among the people of the big league and its fans. This led the current commissioner of the NBA, Adam Silver, to appoint a group of investigators to scrutinize the entire case.

Avid allegations and counterclaims have led fans to believe that similar occurrences have been ongoing behind the scenes.And one such controversy is the dilemma between Jeanie Buss and whether her infamous $15 million tip to Luka Doncic’s restaurant is true to its roots. There are definitely some rumors about it, but little evidence of it being true. Here’s a more elaborate insight into what has actually been happening behind the curtains.

Did Luka Doncic’s “restaurant” get tipped fat by Jeanie Buss?

Well, there are rumors about this shocking controversy; however, there is no definitive evidence to prove it. In a recent Instagram post that went viral, it was alleged that the former Lakers’ president, Jeanie Buss, had reportedly forwarded a fat tip to one of their star players ’ restaurant, and in this case, the player is Luka Doncic.

These allegations were enough to raise a question about Buss’ ethics, thereby undermining the league’s code of conduct. But the real question is, how much of it is actually true? Did Jeanie Buss really tip Luka Doncic under the table? Or is this just another controversy to add to the ongoing one?

Arguments for the controversy of Jeanie Buss’s $15 million tip

There are many arguments that could rob the minds of innocent fans and their potential to actually believe that the rumors aren’t true.

One such argument comes from a series of pictures shared by Jeanie Buss on her Instagram. One of the pictures featured Rob Pelinka, Luka Doncic, and other Slovenian players and staff. The picture was captioned with “#lunchtime”.

Naturally, this sparked a controversy, and hence, the $15 million dispute created discontent in the league and among fans. However, this is not enough evidence to prove either. Yes, Jeanie Buss might have enjoyed one lunch date with the Slovenian crew and Luka Doncic, along with Rob Pelinka. But does that really mean Buss might have played an under-the-table hand?

Arguments against the widespread controversy

The lunch and Jeanie Buss’ Instagram post are evidence to prove that she met Luka Doncic. But the $15 million fat tip to Luka Doncic’s restaurant has to be incorrect. This is because the Lakers’ star doesn’t own a restaurant in the first place, hence the allegations about the same are nothing but a bunch of exaggerations. However, Kawhi Leonard’s dispute has made every little controversy being scrutinized thoroughly, even if it isn’t true in the first place.
