Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss gave a shout-out to the IG page that puts all of LeBron James' pictures as giraffes ahead of the team's Game 4 matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Thursday.
Take a look at the funny picture:

Every single post that LeBron James puts on IG, the “LeRaffe James” page copies it and makes the Lakers star a giraffe. The account has over 147,000 followers.
James and the Lakers are up 2-1 on the Nuggets. However, the team is coming off a bad loss in Game 3, so LeBron and Co. have to win Game 4 to regain momentum.
As usual, James has been a monster for the Lakers in the 2020 playoffs. The King is averaging 25.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game while shooting 49.3 percent from the field, 34.8 percent from beyond the arc and 69.3 percent from the free-throw line against the Portland Trail Blazers, Houston Rockets and Nuggets.
James and Jeanie Buss have a very close relationship. The two actually met for a private dinner during the 2018-19 season where LeBron basically told the Lakers boss he wants to help bring the franchise back to its winning ways and doesn't want to add drama.
The dinner took place right after Los Angeles failed to acquire Anthony Davis from the New Orleans Pelicans at the 2019 trade deadline.
Behind James and Davis, the Lakers are looking to win title No. 17 in franchise history at Walt Disney World. They can't look ahead, though, since the Nuggets have proven to be a tough out in these playoffs.
