The owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, Jerry Buss, died this morning at age 79. He was hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA the past few months and has lost the battle to cancer.
In 1979 Buss purchased the Lakers, LA Kings and The Forum for $67.5 million which was the largest purchases in sports history at that time.
Some of the greatest players were under Buss’ ownership which includes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. The Lakers won 10 NBA Championships under his ownership and he was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.
My brother suggested I would possibly like this website. He was once entirely right. This put up actually made my day. You can not imagine simply how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
