Everyone who is a Laker fan knows that L.A. GM Mitch Kupchack takes order from Jerry Buss. All decisions is made by that dumb ass Buss. That is why the Heat are the 2006 Champions.

Jerry Buss is the biggest idiot alive. He wants to keep his gay lover Kobe for the years to come. I dont even watch the Lakers anymore because I am sick of watching Kobe play with himself. He think he is brilliant getting rid of Shaq. Now where's is Jerry's favorite trophy now? Dumb Bitch..

Odom like Pippen?????

Pippen is 500 times better than crack head Odom. Lakers suck, Buss gave the best center in history away for nothing but some statues of players.

lakers should make the playoffs this year. Kobe Bryant=Michael Jordan Lamar Odom=Scottie Pippin Chris Mihm=Luc Longley Kwame Brown=Dennis Rodmen Ron Harper=Aron Mckie IF they had gotten Gary Payton they would look almost like the Bulls of the 1990s and with the same coach. Think about it. Kobe is like Jordan but not as good Talented forward odom like pippin Chris Mihm Sucks but can hit the jump shot like longley but play better defence. Kwame the trouble maker is like rodman

I just heard Mitch kupchack the lakers gm on the radio. I think the whole fucken organization is a dumb azz. They traded shaq and didnt make the playoffs. They aquired Briand grant who is worthless in the deal. Now they want cap space for 2007 summer. Dumb azzes you guys could have kept shaq and let him sign somewhere else as a free agent and you guys would have had cap room next summer. 30 million in capspace to be exact. Dumb organization.

Why is no one talking about this man's poker ability? I didnt like his play at the WPT celebrity/pro invite final table with funny-man Layne Flack. The guy was getting automatic pre-flop raising hands (especially heads up) yet kept limping in and Layne was burning him every time. Stupid, loser way to play poker. He got schooled big time. But Layne was acting like a fucking moron the whole time.

Dude life is a challenge. You dont always get what you want. Never let anybody influence your decisons because life is way to short. You could be a millionaire one day and be broke the next day. You could be fully healthy one day and have heakth problems the next day. Try to enjoy life day by day. Do what makes you happy as long as your not hurting other people. I feel vey disappointed with my youth as a child. I feel i did not get to experiance everything that i could have and feel no amount of financial compensation could ever fix that. Having the opportunity to do things is a once in a life time opportunity. Everybody has different ways of making themselves happy. Some people its money others to others its friends and family. Remmeber do what you want in life. Sometimes more money will not buy you happiness. Yes money does make life easier but it has its own problems if you dont control yourself. Remember you want a well balanced life. Millioaires cant sleep at night while avearge americans can. I kind of have a little sympathy for many of these child star who did not get to enjot there child hood. This note is to anybody who is disatisfyed with there life at the moment. Remember you cant have everything. If you are not rich you have other traits that rich people dont have. Rich people have money but they cant sleep at night. Rich people may have no friends or family just money while you do.

Kobe Bryant In N Out

maybe its just me
June 21, 2005
But when I played sports coming up it was up to the players to adjust to the coach's system, not for the coach to change his way for a player. That is why he is the COACH! When we get away from that principle, look what happens. You get players practically calling the shots. It's one of the reasons that the NBA sucks, except for the playoffs.

June 18, 2005
Ill give you a word of advice. They should have kept shaq and kobe. Phil should have been moved because he had issues with kobe bryant. If a player and coach to get along on and off the court you need to move one of them. Jackson is the guy to move. Know they signed him to a 30 million dollar deal. Lakers have the shittiest scouts. Thats who we should blame for this. They had it easy and never built for the future. Spurs keep on getting better with their scouting. They arnt drafting in the lottery or anything. Lakers had just as good of a chance of drafting ginboli, parker, and Bruno UDRITH. Another good example would be the pistons. There always getting better. They got mcdyes and arroyo recently. On top of that they got Darko who is there future. Lakers didnt have anyone like that. Mitch you need to get some help and stop sitting on your azz. Jerry West isnt here anymore to help you. Instead of signing Jackson for ten million a year they should have signed a coach for 4 million a year and paid jerry west double what hes getting in memphis. Doube is 6 million. Well worth the money. Kobe bryant is a good indivdual.

I have seen pictures of Jerry Buss with hot women at Laker's games and I was trying to find out the names of his Playboy Playmate girlfriends. Jerry is a friend of Hugh Hefner. Anyone know who they are?

Explanation for explanation
June 17, 2005
Buss sucks at poker because he doesn't have the poker skills of pretty much anyone else on the list who actually has poker talent. Now, why would anyone be looking for information on Jerry Buss?I only have commentary on Buss because I have seen his poker plays, and at the risk of sounding like a monday-morning poker player, frankly, he sucks.

Sometimes Kobe is a selfish ball-hog, but sometimes he tries to prove he is not so he passes too much, and does not close games. His marriage is between him and his wife. Who cares about Jerry Buss's poker game?

June 14, 2005
Jerry Buss traded the most dominant player, Kobe is a selfish ball-hog, not to mention a shitty husband, and the Lakers are going to suck for a while. There, end of discussion. Oh yeah, and Buss sucks at poker, too.

George mikan long time laker center died wednesday morning. Shaquille oneal former laker center has offered to pay for the funeral because of the families financial situation.Not kobe bryant or jerry buss. One who is the face of the team and the other is the owner

Shaquille oneal is the second best basketball player that happened to this city besides magic johnson. Not only did he help the lakers, but also the city. He was an activist for child abuse. He provided jobs for many paople that were unemployed through the lakers and his businesses. He was the face of the city especially in his early years. He passed out $200,000 dollars worth of gifts to needy los angeles children during christmas. He did it again this year even though he lives in miami. Shaquille oneal payed for the police cars that were burned down in the 1999-2000 championship season riots. Kobe hasnt done one thing for this city. He uses his money to buy his wife 4 million dollar rings. Shaq was an individual that this city needed to keep. IF he stayed in LA longer after he retired he would have invested his millions in the city of LA which would in the long run bring more tax revenue, provide more jobs, and bring public service. The city looeing shaq wasnt just about having a winning basketball team. Look at the long run. Look at what Majic has done for this city since he retired. More than you can imagine or though of when he was a player.

To Jerry BussI used to play for the lakers. Look me up if you . I think trading shaquille oneal was the stupidist thing of all time. I could produce more then Brian Grant 3 points 3 rebounds. Jerry Buss you had many great accomplishments, but you will be remembered for trading shaq. Your kids dont know how to run the team. Fucken fire JEannie and Jim. One is hiring stupid coaches the other one is sleeping with them. You need one person that is another JERRY. JERRY WEST IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COULD DID YOU OUT OF THIS WHOLE OR YOUR GONNA BE LIKE THE BULLS. TAKE 6 years to reach the playoffs

why dont you trade kobe now?

Funny how someone copied my letter word for word, and in their response, can not even spell correctly. Brilliant. Phil Jackson resigned. Shaq demanded a trade because He was becoming increasingly frustated with the fact that the world does not revolve around Him. It is just a matter of time before His contract extension issue comes up with the Heat, and He will not get what He wants, and the same nonsense that went on in Los Angeles will start in Miami. It remains to be seen if Shaq ever wins anything again. And it is no coincidence that these people who excessively criticize Dr. Buss are illiterate.

I used to play for the lakers. I am currently a basketball coach at UCI. I want to say something to you jerry. HOw stupid are you? Why did you trade shaquille oneal. I think you should have traded kobe or let him go and use the cap space to lure lebaron in a couple years. In the mean time you should have signed a short term solid player like to a two or three year deal. A player like shareef abdul rahim that would complement shaq

May 17, 2005
Despite all of the negative comments about Dr. Buss, the fact is since 1979 when he bought the team, the Lakers have won eight NBA titles, more than any other team since 1979. He grew up in poverty and now owns one of the most successful teams in all of sports. I am sure none of those critics have had one percent of the success Dr. Buss has had. He traded Shaq because he cost too much money. Shaq acted like he owned the team, he put his toe surgery off three months in 2002 which cost the Lakers a fourth consecutive title, then a year later at a preseason game in Honolulu he demanded a contract extension. Dr. Buss should have made a better trade, but if you are going to complain, seventeen of the thirty teams in the NBA have never won a title, so you should be happy with fourteenIn response to the above: KNow team destroys a contending team. THe only team to do it was the BUlls and that was because they were forced to. MJ and phil retired. PHIL and shaq didnt retire this time. ONe was fired the other was traded

ITS NOT rebuilding its stupidity. WHO TRADES SHAQUILLE ONEAL FOR BRIAN GRANT, CARON BUTLER, and LAMAR ODOM. Who doesnt give an extension to probably the best NBA coach of all time, which every other big market team wants to sign. What team signs Rudy T to a 5 year 30 million dollar deal when he was worth half that on the market?PHIL isnt going to come back because kobe drove him out. How are the two of them going to get along when Kobe drove him out and phil called kobe uncoachable in his book. The only way hes coming back to the lakers is if they offer him 12 to 15 million a year to coach which probably wont happen. Kobe is never going to win another ring. SHaq will win a few more. I think jerry does care what we think. Last year most of his revenue came from the fans. About 67 million of it. If he doesnt care and fans dont show up he is screwed. If they kept shaq and traded kobe they woulf have gotten a couple more rings and a couple more future superstars in return.

Dr Buss, i dare you to prove that, the rumors being spread by PETER VECSEY(of NYP) ON who is really In-Charge of the Lakers are UNTRUE, coz if they are then the LAKERS are REALLY in BIG TROUBLE!. . .based on what happened last year...the LAKERS could end up replacing the CLIPPERS(A TEAM WITH A KNOW IT ALL OWNER) as the worst team in the NBA FOR YEARS to come . I'm not trying to look down on your son but if he is reponsible for the moves made last year then the Lakers are doing a "Sterling"(w/c is about letting the best players/coaches for the team go to rivals and opponent teams). If the Lakers really mean anything to YOU AT ALL, then....you would put a stop to all thEsE 'Rumors' and rehire Phil Jackson. as a loyal Laker fan i appeal to you END ALL THESE rumor mongering, talk and rehire Phil Jackson......Save the Lakers!!!!!

Dear Dr. Buss, if by your inaction you allow Phil Jackson to go to the Kings, the Knicks, or the Blazers then your making a mistake bigger than when let Jerry West go the Grizzlies!

Yeah best basketball team in HISTORY, but not in RECENT HISTORY, tell me this.. when was the last time the "Greatest Team In Basketball History" won an NBA championship? 1985-86? When was the last Lakers NBA championship? 2001-02. That being said Jerry Buss isn't a bad poker player...3rd place in the 1991 World Series of Poker seven card stud event and 2nd place in the 2003 World Poker Tour invitational.

Hope you read this Dr.Buss, I'm one of the many very loyal Laker Fan(Silent-Majority), who believes in the Lakers as an Organization. I been a quiet fan all my life but with what is happening to the team today I just can't keep quiet anymore, pls Sir the Lakers don't need any more negative publicity(the Lakers isn't like one of those hollywood stars of whom no matter what kind of publicity they get it's great). Everytime a bad publicity happens(to the Lakers) We the loyal laker fans gets hurt. Haven't "We" gone thru enough! Isn't it enough that we have put up with the team going thru this rebuilding stage, do we still have to put up with all the unnecessary negative publicity your "Chat" in the net have brought about. Sir I Love the Lakers and it hurts alot to see what the team is going thru and it hurts a lot more seeing You the Owner start to alienate almost everybody from the media, to the fans. If your not going to hire Phil Jackson(or if your want to hire him then do so ASAP), then please move on and get a Coach that the team needs ASAP. Please don't put US thru another season like the one we just had, coz your gonna starting losing many fan with what is happening. And we all know that, that isn't good for the Lakers. Stop All the bad publicity.......Lakers forever!

May 4, 2005
That "fat ass" doesnt seem to have any trouble in Miami. You build championship contenders and dynasties around that "fat ass". He led a bunch of average and also-ran Orlando Magic players to the finals in '95. Based on the Lakers performance this season its easy to see the presence of Shaq was the reason for the three titles. And if Miami goes to the finals, it will be Shaq's 6th finals appearence with 3 different teams. Do you see a pattern? Do you notice a trend. Wherever Shaq goes that team automatically becomes a contender to take it all. Face it, the truth is that Buss and Kupcheck dont have the balls to stand up to Kobe.

Fer Shizzle
May 4, 2005
Even though lakers didnt make the playoffs it was a trade that had to be done. Shaq wasnt gon lose all that weight if he would have stayed. He would have been the same fatass that he was the last couple years. Shaq only has 1 maybe 2 years left in his tank, while Kobe and company got plenty of more years to build upon. It was a BUSINESS move that had to be done.

May 3, 2005
Kobe was taken advantage of? Oh, yeah, you mean when he was CHEATING ON HIS WIFE? #%$@ him, if he get busted. He was stupid enough to put himself into that situation in the first place. And great job trading Shaq, Dr. Dickhead. You and your underachieving team can all go play golf together while watching Shaq in the playoffs on TV. You traded the most dominant player of my generation to placate a spoiled , ball-hogging, moral-lacking shit-sack. Great call.

I think trading shaquille oneal was the biggest mistake. What the lakers should have done a sign and trade deal with the magic. The lakers should have offered kobe for dwight and TMAC. This would give lakers a young future superstar along with a superstar coming in. Mcgrady is a year younger then kobe and he has the same offensive skills. Maybe not the same defesive skills as kobe, but if you get to keep shaq and tmac or just kobe i would go with shaq and tmac. Odom is a good player but he cant really make up for such a dominant player. Big mistake to get rid of shaquille oneal.

"What has Jerry Buss done in poker?"Uh, he did kind of place second at a WPT event...no shame in losing to Layne Flack when he's the chip leader by a ridiculous amount...That said, he's an idiot for keeping Kobe. Mike G-Sixers, I'd hardly say the Lakers have "ruled" the West - maybe in the playoffs, but their regular season record was nothing special, and big surprise that the Lakers' record without Shaq was much worse than their record without Kobe.

It almost seems unfair or shaq to be playing in the eastern confrence, the competition is just far too weak. He is going to dominate, but I don't think Jerry Buss made such a bad deal, Kobe and Lamar Odom will still rule the West. The Lakers will make the second round where they will be knocked out by the Nuggets (if they get Boozer), then they'll lose to the Pacers in the finals.

Lakers are going to be like Orlando Magic. Kobe is going to get his 40 points per game but Lakers will not even make the first round of the playoffs. Shaq will make it to the Eastern Conf Final but Detroit will beat Miami. If Detroit beat Shaq and Kobe they probably beat Shaq alone again.

What has Jerry Buss done in poker? Since Jerry West left the Laker organization, they have done nothing but lose in the playoffs. Maybe West needs to teach Buss how to play poker. It would be an improvement. Oh, bye Tryla.

Kobe is NOT the next MJ. MJ would not have stood around and let the pistons tear the shit out of his team. Mj was concerned about winning and what he could do to help his team (rebounding shooting D or all 3) while kobe just wants his "touches".

They think Kobe will be the next MJ - that's why they are taking a chance. Shaq Deisel lose some goddamn weight this off-season. Starting to look like Vin Baker.
