RIP.

 

Hate the Lakers, but hard not to be impressed by this guys track record... 32 years as the owner, 16 finals appearences, 10 championships. I am not sure, but I would guess there hasn't been another pro-sports franchise to enjoy that kind of success...certainly not in my lifetime. That is consistency.

 

I can only hope that his son continues to avoid his footsteps! :D

 

:beer: To Jerry Buss!

RIP to one of the greatest owners in professional sports history. Came across this gem of a photo earlier today of him sitting next to Magic Johnson courtside wearing none other than a............BUFFALO BILLS hat :thumbsup:

Great catch...kind of odd, Dr Buss wearing a Bills Super Bowl 25 hat to the 2002 NBA Finals....flipping through that picture gallery, never realized how much he looked like Costanza's father from "Seinfeld".

 

As a Celtics fan, can't believe I am going to say this, but I really hope the new Lakers management doesn't let that franchise fall into mediocrity.
