Jerry Buss DEAD AT Age 80 LAKERS OWNER!! -- Details Inside
Jerry Buss dead at Age 80 Lakers owners!! -- Buss died Monday of an undisclosed form of cancer at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to his longtime spokesman, Bob Steiner. Buss was 80. Lakers fans will remember Buss for bringing extraordinary success.
10 championships in three-plus decades — but equally important to his legacy was a sense of showmanship that transformed pro basketball from sport to spectacle.
"Jerry Buss helped set the league on the course it is on today," NBA Commissioner David Stern said.
"Remember, he showed us it was about 'Showtime,' the notion that an arena can become the focal point for not just basketball, but entertainment. He made it the place to see and be seen."
His teams featured the likes of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson,
Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard.
He was also smart enough to hire Hall of Fame-caliber coaches in Pat Riley and Phil Jackson.
