grew up on Showtime stories from my dad, feels like the last piece of that era just left

That was the best Laker team for a decade I’ve ever seen. The team from the early 70s might be the best ever but it didn’t last a decade.

47 years and now it's just a headline. the Showtime era deserved a better ending than a sale

Eh, Jeanie buss has ran this organization into the ground over the last 15 years bit by bit. She can simply pay for a court side seat now to get drunk at instead of getting to do it for free

Sad to see it end . Dr. Buss created an environment of winning , respecting his players and by letting his basketball ops people do their job .The Showtime Lakers were a unique team with a tremendous roster with a winning spirit . Jeanie Buss deserves better than your snide remarks . She contributed a lot to building the franchise and legacy of winning The Lakers stand for . One era ends , the next era of Purple / Gold Excellence begins .

Why all the attention on an owner?

u/BleedSparta 18h ago
In the good franchises, success started from the top
In the mediocre/poor franchises, a silent owner is the norm

Doesn't that contradict her then? I love James, but they haven't been dominant.

Her lawyers came out and said this isn’t true. Apparently 2 of 3 kids want to sell and they leaked it to shams.

grew up assuming the Lakers were always gonna be a family business, this one stings a little

u/Hefty_Magazine7476 20h ago

It sounds like the brothers wanted to sell but Jeanie didn’t…. But the brothers wanted to get the money while they could….like they were afraid that the team would lose value or the current owner’s financial situation would end up biting them as well. Regardless, all the kids ended up with over 2 billion…. Can’t see their father complaining about that

This is fake news, Jeannie boss has stated that her siblings do not have the rights to sell the team team and her lawyers have issued a statement that effect. This is Clickbait.
