[kenny817]

Hate to hear this about anybody...just horrible

Cancer can go to hell

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

no disrespect, but buss looks much older than 79.

[The Choken One]

A large number of old people die of cancer. It's just a part of getting old for most. Life basically sucks **** after the age of 60.

[Haymaker]

So, Lakers are stuck with Jim Buss from now on.

A playboy lifestyle and eating out multiple times a week....

[chazzy]

Wow :(

Jerry's dying wish (in my fantasy at least): leave the team to Jeannie.

[coin24]

Sad to hear:(

+1 hopefully he leaves the team to Jeannie

[DaSeba5]

I wish him the best :(

[strike first]

Somehow this is Dwights fault

[Levity]

Somehow this is Dwights fault

nice attempt at humor.

[RoboticWang]

The way Lakers are playing killed him. Good riddance.

:biggums:

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.

Must've deleted it. What a douche. :facepalm

[crisoner]

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.

[IGotACoolStory]

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.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

I guess that is why Phil finally decided to put a ring on it.
seriously, that would be so bad asss if jerry buss left phil in control.

[AirTupac]

Must've deleted it. What a douche. :facepalm

Wow if that's true, what an absolute moron.

[9512]

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

[Jakeh008]

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.

these dudes put everything in order before they die so them types of things dont happen anymore. this aint the 70's or 80's.

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...

[Scholar]

Though I do think it's very sad that he's close to passing, all I can say is at least he lived a privileged lifestyle. I mean, there are millions who die every year of cancer who have never experienced even half of what Jerry Buss experienced in his life time.

Thank you to the greatest owner in sports franchise history.

[Noof]

Wow that's terrible.

[Anaximandro1]

[whoartthou]

Pretty sure that the following contribute to chronic diseases and even cancer:

A) Western diet
B) Free radical damage or oxidative stress
C)High stress lifestyle

[bdreason]

One of the most influential people in the history of the sport.

[Kobe 4 The Win]

Best owner in sports, probably ever. Godspeed Dr. Buss. Thanks for everything you've done for the Lakers and the NBA as a whole.

[NumberSix]

The Lakers

[talkingconch]

[tomtucker]

[KeyNote]

Wish it was LeBron who got that cancer instead..

Dude is the best owner in sports history..

[JellyBean]

i wish cancer could get cancer

Amen that! I hope that Dr. Buss is able to beat cancer and can get well. My prayers and thoughts are with the Buss family in this hour of need.

[FKAri]

This has been known for a while tho, no? It wasn't public that it was cancer but that he was in the hospital with something serious and life threatening.
