Jim Buss knows he isn't "important" or especially well liked. It would be lame if he tried to insert himself next to Magic and everyone in the video. Jeanie is more the public face and she didn't appear either.

She's at the game right now sitting court side next to Kurt Rambis wife. I guess ESPN 2 didn't show her.

Jerry Buss? Hell no he wasn't like that. If he was still alive you better beleive he would have been in the arena on the hardwood to give a speech or would have done a personal video tribute and would have been in his private luxury suite at Staples.

Jerry West on the other would be nowhere to be seen or heard from like Jim Buss.

Can you point me to a time he did that? I honestly can't think of one.

Dr. Buss was always at the games. Either at the forum or Staples Center. Heck he was even sitting in the stands watching a pre season game in Hawaii when Shaq during the game yelled at him and said "Now will you f'in pay me" :lol

Dr. Buss during like his last 5 years alive wasn't really seen publicly because he was old and dying of cancer.

I thought you meant in terms of the ceremony and/or video.

I want to see Kobe and Metta at the end

No, I don't mean being at the games. I mean Dr. Buss making a statement at a game or something to that effect.

Jim Buss is there though.

Anyway, Dr Buss and Jim are two completely different personalities.

Jerry is the life of the party. Jim is more quiet and reserved. It's why he doesn't do many interviews, or make many public appearances.

A quote from Dr. Buss in 2010:

Question: Are you comfortable with your current level of involvement with the Lakers?

Answer: I'm exactly where I want to be. Eighty percent of the basketball decisions are made by [my son] Jimmy and all of the business side is handled by [my daughter] Jeanie. I don't have anything to do with that.

CP1708 · Apr 13, 2016

Jerry Buss's seat is way up at the top tho ain't it? Out of sight?

Jim prolly in a box with Mitch, like every game.

essential1 · Apr 14, 2016

By the way more bad news. Thibs wants Front Office control with coaching.

Not going to happen.

Cross Thibs off the list.

pmatic · Apr 14, 2016

Not a shock given what Chicago did to him.

Another year of Buffoon. :rolleyes

Johnny_Cakes · Apr 14, 2016

Needs to be Luke or Ollie to lure Durant.

Don't say that, P.

Come on Lakers.

Keep this damn game close within reach...

Because we all want to see Kobe drop 50 tonight and hit a game winner.

essential1 · Apr 14, 2016

Nah gotta take him out in game to get the standing O.

I never really liked that tradition. We will give a standing ovation even if the game ends. No one is leaving until they've cheered their fill.

bigego24 · Apr 14, 2016

Kobe going for 50. :lol

If the game is close and on the line. He's taking that shot.

Brooks is a target for Minnesota, Houston and it is believed that he’s awaiting to see what decision the Los Angeles Lakers make on coach Byron Scott, sources said.

My second choice after Thibs.

Johnny_Cakes · Apr 14, 2016

VERY mixed feelings about Brooks.

If it means hiring him and having a legit shot at Durant. Hire him.

essential1 · Apr 14, 2016

Brooks is good with young players. And KD actually likes him.

Since Ollie won't leave UConn, he's up there for choice.

Could do worse. Like keeping Byron.
