She should’ve traded Lebron. He’s an ungrateful cry baby loser. His son only has a job because of him. This league will be so much better off once he retires.
Jeanie is the problem
Lakers 10 billion >>>>>>>> Celtikkks 6 billion 💪🏼💪🏼💜💛
Leave it up to a woman to mess everything up
Jerry Buss Would Be Pissed 😡
Imagine having to share with your b.a. sister. Women take everything, they're a protected class (women and children) and the laws favor them, too. Good luck, boys.
I got 500 million and fired, what will I do?, oh no my feelings.
Poor baby
More money more problems
The prev buss is rolling in his grave. Atleast he knew what it was all about. Women, hoes, young women, young hoes. And most importantly winning 😂
The slide into pathetic embarrassment began when Phil Jackson tried to slide his weenie into the Buss fortune, he USED Jeannie, but the rest of the siblings finally stopped him. In the meantime, Jeannie's 'leadership' led to both Jerry West and Magic Johnson leaving. She brought in LeCANCER, and the downfall has been disgraceful. Now she's trying to say she tried to right the ship???
That Jeanie girl used to have bush on her kitty back in the day 😂😂😂😂😂
Everybody name begins with a J, should’ve known that would’ve been a start of problems 😂
Are we supposed to feel bad for a billionaire family ? Lol
Nepotism dream to nepotism nightmare.
Jerry was the villain leaving out his 7th child who got 0
Jennie is correct about Leclown
Kids are a bunch of Fuckos
Females are to be seen not heard and should never be allowed in leadership positions
Klutch was the final straw, I feel.
Someone gonna get her
Getting in bed with Klutch was a mistake.
A "bubble chip" wasn't worth it.
They'd be better off if they'd just built organically through the draft. They would've been a perennial 50 win team by now with none of the drama & still would've been in the running for every prime free agent because it's L.A.
ESPN like most media lately…..wasting our time with a irrelevant story. Mark Walter, Magic, and Company owners of the defending champions LA Dodgers, who runs arguably the top organization in MLB, now owns the NBA most popular and marketable team in the LA Lakers. Thank you, Buss Family for all the years of winning and bringing in Showtime and all the great star players. People seem to forget, it was a long time ago, before Jerry Buss bought the Lakers, they weren't as relevant as the Celtics. The Lakers would not have sold for $10B without some sort of successful leadership. Jeanie Buss sold the team to the right owner, at the right time. The Lakers as an organization are going to be better for it. What's the problem here? Why ESPN is going after Jeanie as a villain or the Buss' Family by showing dysfunctional? When is there not a wealthy and famous family not dysfunctional? 😂Move on ESPN!!! Nothing to see here😂
Nico getting his commission 🤑🤑🤑
A witch
Wow they was all born into Millionaires never had to struggle lucky fishs
they only showed 6 of the 7 Buss children and not the oldest one Lee
Really sad and pathetic that this dude brought LeBron into this story just to get attention when he has nothing to do with any of this.
1:27 side chick (the girl in purple)? 😬
YO JEANIE !!! The 5 seasons before LBJ she ran the WORST franchise in the NBA. that's a FACT !! not opinion
Jeanie you turned the Lakers into the Wizards before LeBron saved you
wait… should we care?
They're fighting as if they're the reason the Lakers become an empire
a bunch of spoiled brats fighting over daddy's money that they didn't earn.
what could have possibly gone wrong.
anyway, as a 22 year fan of the Lakers I can say I'm glad the buss family is out.
hopefully mark walter can turn this teams fortune around for the better and get that 18th championship now that all the spoiled brats are out as owners.
Once they challenged her, she was always going to scorch earth
I'm retired at 47, went from Grass to Grace. This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, honest wife and 35k biweekly and a good daughter full of love❤️
Sounds to me like Jeanie took the public face of all this and ensured every sibling will be rich until they die. Sounds like leadership in a family business (the hardest business model to manage).
She went against her whole family including her father. What a Judas
Always BS with the news… They didn't sell for 10 billion, they sold a portion at a value of 10 billion for 100 percent.
So basically Jeanine is the reason the Lakers have been trash
The siblings don't like each other, period.
