How did Jerry Buss buy the Lakers and who is Jerry Buss?

1979 was a memorable year for Jerry Bass. At the age of 46, he was already sitting on a fortune of $100 million, but he had no intention of stopping. Witnessed by a team of 50 lawyers, the business tycoon bought the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Kings (hockey hockey team) and the Los Angeles Forum Arena (the Lakers' former home court) for $67.5 million.

Of the $67.5 million, $18 million was spent on the Los Angeles Lakers, an NBA team, and the acquisition became the greatest acquisition in NBA history.

For everyone else, it was just a normal working day, and there weren't even any games going on in the Forum Arena. The moment he signed 12 different contracts, Buss became the owner of the Lakers. Buss' alma mater, USC, is located in the heart of Los Angeles, has one of the craziest college football traditions in the country and is the cradle of Hollywood directors and producers, and this school culture has deeply influenced his philosophy of running the Lakers.

Buss decided to build the Los Angeles Lakers with Hollywood ideas. He hired a Hollywood A-list production team to produce the coolest promos for the Lakers. He also recruited the most beautiful cheerleading girls, and invited the most famous sports bands in the United States from USC to play for the Lakers, making the Lakers' games as entertainment events in Los Angeles and the United States as the Oscars.

At the same time, Buss also decided to keep the seats in the first row on the sidelines out of the public **, reserved for Hollywood's biggest stars, and invited them to watch the Lakers. As a result, the Lakers' front row seats will always shine brightly, comparable to the Oscars, and this has brought unprecedented attention and brand effect to the Lakers. The Lakers' courtside VIP has always been a topic of conversation with fans.

Bath has never been hesitant to spend big money on players, even at the expense of the hefty luxury tax. He once offered the 25-year-old "Magic" a sky-high contract worth $25 million; In 1996, he gave O'Neill another contract worth 100 million dollars. [1]

The father's business, in fact, I don't know. Hehe.

Jerry Bass was born on January 27, 1933 in Salt Lake City, USA. Jerry Buss was a milestone figure for the world-renowned Lakers, who quickly became one of the most successful teams in the NBA under Buss' stewardship. In the 50s of the 20th century, Jerry Buss started his career with real estate, and in 1979, he and his partners bought the Lakers and other teams for $67.5 million.

Led the Lakers to 10 championships, and superstars such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant shined here. Getting rid of O'Neal made him lose his reputation among a considerable part of the fans, but with Kobe Bryant as the core, he reshaped the Lakers. The Lakers were valued at $16 million alone in 1979, while Forbes magazine estimated that the Lakers in 2013 were worth $1 billion.

On the evening of February 18, 2013, Beijing time, he died of cancer in Los Angeles, USA, at the age of 80.

Jerry Buss' Lakers have reached the NBA Finals 16 times, 10 of which have won the championship. They were 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009 and 2010. In 2006, Jerry Bass had a star of his own on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In Forbes' list of NBA team market capitalization released in early 2013, the Lakers ranked second in the league with a value of $1 billion, only behind the New York Knicks, who had a market value of $1.1 billion. The Lakers also joined the Knicks as the first team in NBA history to exceed $1 billion in market capitalization, and all of this is inseparable from Buss's tireless efforts over the years.

Phil's triangle is probably the most troublesome tactic in the NBA, and it is all taught orally by Phil, there has never been a playbook or anything like that, and even some point guards who have played in the Lakers have not figured out what is going on, and it is even more difficult for others to figure it out

Jenny Buss is the daughter of Lakers boss Jerry Buss, the current president of the Lakers, the fiancée of New York Knicks president Phil Jackson, and was once considered the future head of the Lakers, but in the early morning of the 19th Beijing time, "Los Angeles Times" reporter Mike Brainaghan took the lead in disclosing a sad news on Twitter: Lakers owner Jerry Buss died of cancer on the morning of the 18th local time in the United States at the age of 80. Soon Jerry Buss's youngest son, Jim Buss, officially took over as president of the Lakers, and since Jerry Buss died and Jim Buss took power, Jenny has gradually faded out of management and is no longer involved in the operation and decisions of basketball affairs.

She was very supportive of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson's return to the Lakers, but was ultimately rejected by the Lakers because Jackson asked for a management position.

Jenny Buss was the daughter of the original Lakers boss Jerry Bass (Kobe Bryant, O'Neal at that time), served as the vice president of the Lakers, was born in the United States in 1961, and in the early morning of February 19, 2013, Lakers owner Jerry Buss died of cancer on the morning of the 18th local time in the United States at the age of 80. Soon Jerry Buss's youngest son, Jim Buss, officially took over as president of the Lakers, and since Jerry Buss died and Jim Buss took power, Jenny has gradually faded out of management and is no longer involved in the operation and decisions of basketball affairs. But due to the Lakers' poor record in recent seasons, Jenny had to come back and take over the Lakers in place of Jim.

<> hope it helps you, hopefully.

The Bass family, now Jenny Bass at the helm, is Phil Jackson's ex-fiancée.

It used to be the old Bass, now the little Bass.

Glass, just like the three brothers who work hard in life.
