Last night was the first game the Lakers have played since the passing of legendary owner Dr. Jerry Buss. Â It was a sad moment watching Laker great Magic Johnson tear up as he reflected on his relationship with Buss. Â Judging by Johnson’s emotions, Buss was so much more than an owner. Â Johnson hopes that the Buss family keeps the Lakers in their family as Jerry would want that more than anything.
Before the game, Kobe Bryant delivered a speech reflecting on his feelings of the late, great owner. Â It was a positive look back on how much Jerry has done for the Lakers franchise and the city of Los Angeles. Â It ended perfectly with a moment of silence and a huge win over the Boston Celtics. Â Just the way Jerry would have wanted.
