Popular streamer IShowSpeed had a genuine moment during his recent European travels. In what seemed to be a chilling spot, the high-energy content creator met one of the members of the iconic Buss family.

IShowSpeed gives a hilarious reaction to receiving the
Lakers
Ring offer
An unexpected meeting occurred as IShowSpeed continued his European tour. He was introduced to Riley Drexel. Drexel is the grandson of late Lakers owner Jerry Buss and is nephew of current team Governor, Jeanie Buss.
Jeanie holds a unique place within the Los Angeles Lakers franchise. Riley too has been a part of many team events, connecting his family's legacy with the franchise.
As per reports, this interaction happened in Saint-Tropez. In the viral video, one can see how the interaction started with IShowSpeed meeting a stranger (a potential friend of Riley), who tried to tell him that the ring was a Lakers championship ring. While IShowSpeed still remained confused and asked,
'Is that real?',
he was offered to hold the ring in his hand, with the man claiming,
'It's from the owners.'
The stranger then pointed him towards Riley, saying he owned the Lakers.
IShowSpeed's stunned reaction, which was captured on the video circulating around on social media, was immediate and unfiltered—
'You own the Lakers?.. Goddamn.'
It perfectly encapsulated his disbelief at receiving the Lakers' championship ring from one of the basketball royalty.
Riley, in the video, was seen clearly stating that they sold the Lakers for $10 billion.
He then laughingly made a remarkable gesture towards IShowSpeed, offering him to keep an official Los Angeles Lakers ring. He then introduced himself as Riley Buss and shook hands with IShowSpeed. The offer's sheer magnitude, coming directly from one of the Buss family heirs, completely floored the usually energetic and over-the-top reactions of the offering streamer.
Aside from having his wild Lakers legacy encounter, IShowSpeed has been making waves all across Europe.
He's been visiting multiple countries with his high-energy antics, keeping fans entertained. With it all, he proves why he is one of the most viral personalities today.
The Los Angeles Lakers had a recent historic shift
IShowSpeed's personal encounter with one of the Buss family's legacies comes amidst a monumental change happening within the organization. As per reports, a seismic agreement has already been reached about the team's future ownership. Sources confirm that the Buss family will be selling the majority ownership of the franchise to Mark Walter, a businessman.
The deal values the team at $10 billion, setting a new record for a professional sports team in the United States. Walter, who's already been a minority stakeholder since 2021, now leads a diversified holding company, carrying significant interests within sports globally.
While the Buss family has retained a minority stake for a period, the controlling interests are now shifting. Crucially, Jeanie Buss will continue to be the Los Angeles Lakers' Governor. She will continue overseeing team operations for a foreseeable future. The deal guarantees stability while continuing to honor the decades-long impact of the Buss family on the team.

Lionel Messi's Kerala Trip With Argentina National Team Cancelled. Here's Why
One of the greatest footballers of all time, Lionel Messi, is a name that arguably resonates with every single football fan across the globe. While European and American (both North and South) fans have had many opportunities to watch the Argentine maestro play, the same hasn't been the case with Asians. As Indian football fans kept their fingers crossed, organised plans to watch Messi in action during the Argnetinian trip's visit to Kerala, a heartbreaking piece of news dropped on Monday. Kerala's Sports Minister V Abdurahiman has revealed that Messi and the Argentina national team will no longer be visiting Kerala this year. The news is truly heartbreaking for millions of football fans in India who have waited their entire lives to watch a player of the calibre of Messi in action live in their own country. However, the dream is not going to be realised anytime soon. The minister had earlier insisted that the Messi-led Argentina side would visit the state as announced by the government, and that the sponsor had already paid the match fee for the event. He told reporters on Monday that the foreign team informed them that they were facing difficulties in visiting the state in October this year, but the sponsor responded that "we are interested only in a visit in the month of October." Abdurahiman had earlier said the team was more likely to come in October or November this year, and that they would be treated as state guests, with their security, accommodation, and other facilities provided by the government.

Bronny James raises eyebrows with comment on GF Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures as he skips Luka Doncic event
Bronny James raises eyebrows with comment on GF Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures as he skips Luka Doncic event (Image Credit:) On Saturday, the Los Angeles Lakers confirmed $165 million, 3-year contract with Luka Doncic. Top executives like GM Rob Pelinka, coach JJ Reddick, and a few Lakers players were at the press conference Luka attended after the confirmation. But Bronny James and his father, LeBron James, were conspicuously absent from the event, giving way to another round of speculations around their position in the team. On the personal front, Bronny showered love on her girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures. He posted a two-word comment on her latest pictures after calling her 'my girlfriend' previously. Though spotted rarely with Parker, Bronny's engagement with his girlfriend's Instagram posts has deepened for quite some time, fueling rumors around their relationship. Bronny James draws criticism for giving Luka Doncic signing announcement event a miss Both James duo members, LeBron James and Bronny James, conspicuously missed Luka Doncic's press conference, which was to follow the Los Angeles Lakers' announcement of his three-year contract extension worth $165 million. NBA veteran Dan Patrick, on his talk show, called out Bronny for missing the event. He said: 'The one person who I thought should have been there was his son. Bronny James, if he wants to stay longer after LeBron leaves, that's your teammate. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Kate Middleton's Daring Outfit Took Prince William's Breath Away Crowdy Fan Undo Bronny James should have been there. You're the last guy on the roster. You should be there.' Dan Patrick's comments were mentioned by NBA Central's tweet. The tweet read: 'Dan Patrick criticizes Bronny James for not attending Luka Dončić's press conference "Bronny James should've been there. You're the last guy on the roster, you should be there."' As per his opinion, Bronny requires more attendance at the team's events like these, should he want to learn more about the NBA environment firsthand. If he plans to stay with the Lakers for long, such events should be taken seriously by newcomers to the NBA, Patrick thought. Since the reports about the possible trades of LeBron James and Bronny James are swirling over time, the absence of the James duo ignites a fresh spark of speculation around their status on the team. Meanwhile, Bronny showed his loyalty on another unexpected platform, and it had something to do with his private life. Bronny James comments on his girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures Though Bronny James could not make it to Luka Doncic's event, he managed to drop a loving comment on his girlfriend Parker Whitefield's vacation pictures. Bronny commented, 'Muy Bonita' on the latest phot dump of Parker. Parker gave a glimpse into her vacation time she is enjoying at a scenic location. It drew endearing comments from her supporters and friends, with Bronny James taking the lead. His comment showed that the Los Angeles Lakers rising star is taking a deep interest in his girlfriend's whereabouts. Though they are not spotted together offline often, Bronny is seen actively engaging with his girlfriend's Instagram updates in recent times. Previously, he sort of confirmed his relationship status by writing, 'My girlfriend', on Parker's pictures. Why Bronny James and LeBron James gave a miss to Luka Doncic's event and where Bronny's relationship with Parker Whitefield heads in the coming times are the two important questions looming over every James' duo loyal fans. Only official statements from the two can clear the air on these matters.
