Sorry, but it's actually not true.
Buss was haphazard from jump.
Look at what we're watchin on the HBO show. Jerry West quit as the HC. He had no job. He was no longer employed by the Lakers.
He was at practice, at training camp, watching tape, advising press conferences.....
Pat Riley was an announcer with Chick.......and helping as an assistant coach.
Later, Westhead is fired, Jerry Buss proclaims Jerry West will be the head coach. West says no. Pat Riley will be. So Buss says they will be co-coaches.
And no, it's not just a show, this is backed up. This is all how it went down in real life.
Jeanie grew up seeing crazy dysfunction that worked out because Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Shaq, Kobe, Pau and now Bron/AD.
For her, this is "normal".
