The good Dr.

Jerry Buss died today, great loss to the NBA, between him drafting Magic Johnson and the Celtics drafting what's his name, they brought the NBA from obscurity to national prominence

RIP Dr. Buss.

Hey, now! :)
 
As the self-proclaimed resident Lakers fan on this board (sorry Dan - lol), I feel qualified to pronounce this judgement. The LAL are the most successful NBA franchise in modern history, without question. But is this all attributable to Jerry Buss? Methinks not! Jack Kent Cooke, Bill Sharman, Jerry West, Pat Riley, Mitch Kupchak...all were instrumental to the decades-long dominance that has been the signpost of the LAL. The reverence that has been given to Buss is somewhat much, IMHO...it's not like he cured cancer, IMHO!
