Under buss lakers made championship series 16 out of 33 yrs he ran the team
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Jimmy buss might not be so stupid, He got Dwight who is an upgrade over Bynum, and he let Odom go and used the exemption to sign Nash. Odom was cooked.

He has big shoes to fill and will never be his pops.

You sure you want to put Nash in the positive?

The whole Phil vs MDA debacle has so far looked disastrous for Jimmy B

Yeah I saw somewhere that Jimmy and Jeanie haven't spoken much or maybe at all since the D'Antoni hiring.

He was a good owner....Probably makes sense as to why Jim Buss was having such a strong presence past few yrs....

Yeah I saw somewhere that Jimmy and Jeanie haven't spoken much or maybe at all since the D'Antoni hiring.

I think this is reminiscent of how the game is changed, and in more wider view how values in the society are changed.
Integrity, trust, dedication, and loyalty are in the back mirror. Egos, narcissism, ignorance, and hypocrisy are rampant.
Professionals and visionaries are replaced with bureaucrats and ass-kissers. Every era has its own heroes.

From what I have read it doesn't sound like Jimmy is the man his dad was yet. Wojo said that Dr. Buss would have had Dwight over to the house and made him feel welcome and like he never wanted to leave.

Nash is better than Odom.

We are not sure Phil was dead set on coming back nor they would have met his demands.

Im a big Phil Jax fan and I would have spend his 12 mil to bring him back!

the disaster this team is was in place before MDA got the call.

Was very sad news. RIP Jerry Buss.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
