"Because what did they put in the paper? They put LeBron James. This man has done everything he possibly could to keep his nose clean."LeBron don't have a lot of close friends. ... You put this man on the spot. Because it's alleged that you sold information that LeBron is not gonna play, before it became public knowledge."As per The Athletic, Jones allegedly sold or tried to profit from private information about James just days after the LA Lakers' star broke the NBA's all-time scoring record in 2023.The game referenced by the FBI's investigation was between the Lakers and the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 9, in which James did not play due to ankle soreness. The report also states that James was not aware that Jones allegedly shared information about his playing status with bettors.NFL icon Shannon Sharpe discloses why he can't defend LeBron James from Stephen A.
