RIP.  He was a laker legend. Have to agree with many that he's the greatest NBA owner of all time. |

Rough year for the Lakers gets worse.
I hate the Lakers with a passion but Buss was one of the better owners in the history of professional sports. That's a bummer.

Terrific owner. A dream owner for fans.
Big loss for both the Lakers and the league as a whole.

I hate the Lakers like everyone else here, but Laker and Celtics fans I think respect each other a lot more since the Heat teamed up.
Buss was unquestionably one of the best owners in sports and kept that team at an elite or near-elite level for the vast majority of 3+ decades. Remarkable run.

Huge loss, Lakers could be headed to Knicksville when it comes to ownership given the Jeanie/Jim situation.

The thing is, Jeanie/Jim have been running things for years. I really don't see much change. |

I refuse to say anything nice about the Lakers, but I sure would like to replicate Buss' reported ability to "date" hundreds of teenagers well into his 70s.

It's his death, why don't we wait a few days to say stuff like that? |
