He was a great pioneer and saved the NBA by introducing his up beat brand of basketball, called "Showtime". He put Hollywood's Stars in the seats, and won 10 Championships in 3 generations.

I was never a fan of the Lakers but I respected what Buss did with the team.

In his first 33 years as an owner, Jerry Buss's Lakers missed the playoffs in 1993-94 and 2004-05

Very few owners in all of sports were as passionate about winning as Jerry Buss. I've been a Laker fan through thick and thin since 1971 but he sure made it a lot easier.

Um, how do you define "NOT good?"

He got 3rd in the 1991 WSOP 7 card stud event, and 2nd in 2003 World Poker Tour invitational.
