Actually, if he dies, I'm sure the team's ownership would be split equally among all of his children. I think he has like 6 kids.

Sad man.....

He lived life to the fullest and was the best owner in pro sports.

Thanks for everything Dr. Buss.

Hope there is some sort of miracle

yeah but all 6 kids won't have equal say in the day to day operations of the LAkers.

I guess that is why Phil finally decided to put a ring on it.

the miracle might have been him living the past 2 or 3 years. buss passing will be the saddest day in sports history for me after magic announcing his first retirement.

I hope the best for Jerry Buss and his family...

I dont think much will change. They have pretty much had a plan to shift the power in action for a few years now. Jim is in charge of basketball operations and Jeanie is in charge of business operations.

But I didn't even know he had 4 other kids until a few minutes ago. So Im not sure how much of a impact they are going to make

You can GUARANTEE that there will be a power struggle for control of the organization when Jerry passes. If the kids all get an equal cut of the franchise, which ever kids have the larger alliance will become the shot callers.

You're right. That's why there are never vicious legal battles between the family members of a wealthy person when they die.... Oh, wait...
