| Dr. Jerry Buss (L) and son, Jim Buss (R). |
The Los Angeles Lakers have had their share of problems in this fast-paced, shortened NBA season, but NBA insiders know that the team’s issues are far from just on-court problems.
No, L.A.
The younger Buss has clearly made some head-scratching moves since taking over more of the day-to-day operations from his 78-year-old dad, but clearly, he’s no chip off the old block.
The open-minded communication that once flowed freely through the Lakers front office has been replaces by more silence and cyncism than anything else – and the team’s on-court play has suffered because of it.
Recent reports say that Kobe Bryant is no fan of the younger Buss – and that feeling is shared by many in the Lakers’ organization. Unfortunately, when you’re the son of a legendary NBA owner – and one that was born into inheriting the family business – then there’s no way out of this problem for the Lakers now – and likely – no time soon.
What do you think about Jim Buss? Can the ‘son’ ever match the ‘father’s success?’
