4:33Now Playing"When Jerry Buss bought the Lakers in 1979, he wanted to build a championship team. He also wanted to put on a show.
The new owner gave courtside seats to movie stars. He hired pretty women to dance during timeouts. He spent freely on big stars and encouraged a fast-paced, exuberant style of play."*
Jerry Buss was the owner famous for turning the LA Lakers franchise around into the huge success it is today. He sold the naming rights of the venue, added the Lakers Girls, and watched Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant win 10 NBA Championships during his time with the team. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss his life.
