Magic Johnson rips Jim Buss, says Kobe Bryant should put foot down - ESPN Los Angeles
By now, many of you have read/heard Magic's comments. I found this bit the most intriguing:
"Dr. [Jerry] Buss raised Jeanie and I up together," Johnson said. "When Jeanie went to USC business school, he was bringing us along together. Jim was not part of the Lakers. He never really saw our championship years. Jim was doing his own thing.
Whether you agree or disagree with Magic, he does have more inside insight than most regarding Jim Buss and the family dynamic, who was off "doing his own thing." Take the 49ers for example, some might argue that Jed York undermined his team this off season. It starts from the top down and Jim Buss scares the daylights outta me.
