I remember Magic saying, that was the biggest check he had to write.

Interesting to see the will. Especially to who he leaves the team.

it can’t not be Jeannie, right?

Magic will probably unload that 1% stake in the Dodgers to be part of the group who will be buying the Lakers…

That whole Dodgers buy was done on loan…Magic still has the cash.

I think Kobe’s legacy is fairly secure, no matter how his teams do henceforth.

No doubt. No one can take away that he has been a all-time top 10 player, an asshole, a dick to many of his teammates, and an anal rapist.

Didn’t realize he was only 79. Not being snarky, it’s just that he has owned the team for a while now.

Well, he also looked 90 years old. I assumed the 79 was a typo at first.

Now is the time, really. If they somehow could get sterling to sell the clippers to a competent owner, they could become the team for that city. Especially considering mini-buss is by all accounts a jackass.

They’ll always be Bill Simmons’s Clippers first, then LA’s Clippers second.

from the LA Times: A Depression-era baby, Jerry Hatten Buss was born Jan. 27, 1933, in Salt Lake City. His parents divorced when he was an infant.

Wiki has him born on Jan 27, 1934
