sweatpantsjoe Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Watching the Lakers game. Daniel Stern said something interesting, the Bus family has owned the Lakers for 31 years and have been to the finals 16 of those years. That's just incredible.

Mark Long Beach Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) It is incredible, but he had a good start. The Lakers were already one of the premier teams in the league as one of the powers in the Western Conference. His first draft pick wasn't too bad in Magic Johnson. Hollywood and other advantages work together (with him being a good owner) to help keep them on top. Can't forget about two hall-of-fame coaches during that span either. Current coach is Phil Jackson who has been a head coach for 21 years. He's been to the Championship game 13 of those 21 years (winning 11)! He's had the most dominating coaching run of any coach in any of the major professional sports. Heck he even won 2 championships as a PLAYER. The dude understands what it takes for a team to win. Jerry Bus is a good owner, but there's a lot that goes into the Lakers being successful. Edited October 27, 2010 by Mark Long Beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
