When Kawhi Leonard’s Uncle Dennis Demanded a Private Jet and Ownership Stake From Lakers

  1. Dirty Ballz, with all his money and cheating, has made the same number of finals as Donald Sterling. ZERO.

  2. Here is the article from 2019 summer:

    https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-investigated-kawhi-leonards-uncle-dennis-robertson-for-asking-for-impermissible-benefits-per-report/

    “Uncle Dennis Robertson, however, reportedly “asked team officials for part ownership of the team, a private plane that would be available at all times, a house and  — last but certainly not least — a guaranteed amount of off-court endorsement money that they could expect if Leonard played for their team.” 

    These requests were repeatedly denied by the Lakers, according to Amick, which reportedly prompted Robertson to ask about the ownership stake given to Magic Johnson in 1991 after he was forced to retire due to his HIV diagnosis. That agreement was permissible by league rules. Granting Leonard a piece of the team would not be. 

    The fact that this was report, and now Pablo finds a paper trail and gets an employee on the record saying literally everything in the article was true. While, the NBA did their own investigation and didn’t find out any wrongdoing.

    Not a good look all around.

  3. Jeanie did not agree because she did not have the money before lol

    Edit: people saying Jeanie has money must have forgotten that she applied for relief funds during covid lmaooo she can’t even hire a professional scout dept

  4. despite Jeanie being a bad owner, at least she has morals & knew this wouldnt be a good look

  5. Who?

    He must not play very often, or maybe from some bitch ass irrelevant team with a racist history they probably should have junked to bring back the Supersonics.

    Oh yeah. I *do* know him.

    That’s Drake’s friend!

    Yeah. He not like us.

  6. Remember when people shit on the FO for not being able to get it done?

    Dodged a motherfucking icbm with this.

  7. I was so mad when he chose the cLippers over the Lakers but now I can’t believe we dodged such a bullet.

  8. Damn, this might really hurt the clippers. Ballmer just did the new stadium. If they lose a bunch of picks and maintain the clippers legacy of living in the doldrums, that new stadium is going to get expensive.

  9. If I’m the lakers, I’m snitching on these bitch ass clippers to the league or in media, i don’t give a fuck. I’m saying exactly what they asked for

  10. I’m going give credit to Mitch Kupchak and Jeanie Buss for not breaking these types of rules. Many fans criticize them for being incompetent but sometimes when you are following the rules and compete against people who don’t follow the rules, it’s hard to get results. Also, I want to say again that Jerry West was on the Clippers front office in 2019. Many Lakers fans were for West and against Jeannie Buss. Just know that West probably knew and cosigned all the shady transactions going on with the Clippers and Kawhi.

  11. I remember reading about this years ago. I wonder why it’s coming back around now? Also, did the clippers receive the same demands? Lol

  12. It’s never enough. The guys made over $325,000,000 playing in the NBA and it’s just not enough, alway need more. Squeezing fans for every cent to watch on TV or spend $200+ to sit in the nosebleeds and $350,000,000 isn’t enough. People suck.

  13. Am i the only one that feels like this information coming out kinda vindicates RDA 😭 like it doesn’t make him any less wrong, but from the POV of skirting the cap, I wouldn’t be surprised if kawhi and his team told the Lakers exactly what RDA “reported” as a leverage play for the clips.
