Buss Legacy Under Strain as Lakers Ownership Drama Unfolds
Byron Scott says Dr. Jerry Buss wouldn’t be happy with the Lakers’ current ownership drama, as the Buss family fights over shares after Mark Walter’s sale to Bob Iger and Josh Kushner, which Jeanie Buss is contesting. Scott urges the new owners to emulate Buss’s fair, family-first leadership and keep the franchise’s culture intact, noting the rapid sale embarrassed the family and highlighting the tension between tradition and modern ownership.
