Markieff Morris Refutes Grant Williams’ Claim LeBron Had a House in the NBA Bubble
The pushback highlights how podcast chatter revives long-running claims of special treatment during the tightly controlled 2020 Disney World restart.
Overview
- Grant Williams, now with the Hornets, said on a podcast that LeBron James "had a house on the campus" during the 2020 Orlando bubble.
- Former Lakers forward Markieff Morris denied the claim on X, saying James was "two doors down," under the same restrictions, and hosting late-night Madden sessions in his hotel room.
- The exchange renewed fan arguments about whether the Lakers received special treatment during the NBA’s Disney World restart.
- Earlier bubble-era perk stories, including a claim James brought a private chef, were publicly dismissed by teammates such as Anthony Davis, who said meals were communal.
- James has previously characterized the bubble as "the purest form of hoops" focused strictly on basketball in an interview with The Mirror US.
