Early in the week, the basketball world lost a very instrumental figure in its professional culture, the LA Lakers longtime owner, Dr. Jerry Buss. He cemented what had been started in the LA franchise and took it to another level as well with the great Lakers teams of the 80's, the 3peat dynasty of the early 2000's, as well as the more recent back to back titles a few years ago. He set the bar high in the business arena and with his beloved organization, the LA Lakers. He made it a movement, he made games an event, a show (putting showtime teams on the floor), and in a town with tons of options, he made the Lakers the hottest ticket in town!!! The Lakers have followers not just fans. The purple and gold is a brand itself, and if there is one, the L.A. Lakers are America's Team and its because of the ambition and vision of Dr. Buss!!! That vision will live on forever........
