Lakers: RIP Jerry Buss

[HI-FI]

Great owner...the innovator of NBA glitz. Love the showtime era, hated the PJax era but feel Doc Jerry was great for the game.
RIP

this. as a kid from Cali, the Showtime Lakers were my favorite team. too bad the 00s brought with them such an unlikeable team, but Dr. Buss brought a lot of entertainment to the league. It sounds like he spent a lot of his cash on banging young Cali starlets, can't say I blame him. Rest in Peace.

Karma will likely be a ...enjoy it while you can

if Karma was real, Kobe would not have 5 rings and the meteor that exploded over Russia would have landed in LA killing millions of Laker fans.

+1 on Mono and at jeebus..

dying a happy man after witnessing Kobe block Lebron

Kobe rewarding the man that blessed him with perennial luxury tax teams by making him watch a non-playoff team during his last season on Earth

Lakers getting blown out are the last games that Buss watched

watching your son failing at owning a team during your last days

his last thought was probably realizing he paid 30 million this year for an ASG block

that cancer didn't pay for the basketball reasons

RIP


Just wanted to disagree with you on his last thought....


He probably looked over at Magic Johnson and thought, "how the is this mother er still alive...and I gotta check out! !"

[Bill_Brasky]

I can't pretend to be sad about the death of a complete stranger whose actions don't really matter to me either way.

This is pretty much how I feel...

lol fake sadness

[td4mvp2k]

Hopefully he gets rewarded with 72 more Filipinas.

Kobe let this guy go out like a loser GJ.

And then promptly going out and getting his ass whooped

[td4mvp2k]

Wasn't this guy a part time pedo or is that one of the other Lakers with a sexual deviant past?

Great owner. Cool guy, world class pun hound, accomplished poker player, business man and one of the best owner in all of pro sports.

This year like I said ... cursed. Sad he had to go with his team under .500 he deserves better.

How does it compare to Boston's 2007, just asking.

That said, RIP to an owner whose Hall of Fame induction was well-deserved.

[NRHector]

so is Phil Jackson the new owner?

[racm]

Let's see if this Lakers team has a "Win one for the Gipper" gear to shift into.

Considering the Celtics continued tailspinning after Red Auerbach died (and only got lucky by getting Kevin McHale to give them KG)...

[racm]

so is Phil Jackson the new owner?

I think the kids get a fair share IIRC. The problem is that Jim "I'm not Dolan I swear" Buss has been in charge of the everyday affairs for a while now, while his sister Jeanie has a rift with him (especially since Jimbo has a beef with PJ).

Jeanie and Phil are getting marry so he can be a co-owner unless they get a pre-nuptial agreement

Fair enough. Still think they'll squabble over who gets to run the franchise.

First Brown, now Buss. I wonder who'll be the next casualty of this lakers season.
