Hard to ever know about someone else’s relationship. But from what I hear the Phil/Jeanie breakup really is just difficulties with distance

Shelburne added her thoughts on the news.
And when you can’t be together, it doesn’t help when you’re not allowed to talk business by rules the NBA put in place on their relationship

Shelburne continued.
From what I understand, this wasn’t some sudden thing. Just a long, growing apart where distance got too far and priorities too different.

Buss shared her thoughts.
The love of my life is the Los Angeles Lakers. I love Phil & will always. It’s not fair to him or Lakers to not have my undivided attention

The couple has been together for the last 17 years, engaged for the last four. When Jackson took over the New York Knicks it has put a lot of wrinkles in their relationship.
