BEST OWNER EVER ,My Friends and I met Him In 1987 trying to sneak into the Forum, he gave us tickets right next to Chick Hearn, Thanks Dr.Buss
RIP to a great man
I was the 80’s please ?
George Steinbrenner was
That’s a legendary story 💯
I think that’s the best story ever
The HBO series Winning Time: The Rise of The Lakers Dynasty brought me here. Dr. Jerry Buss must have been a really incredible person to know.
Same. I’m not even a basketball fan and I’m in awe of this man and what he accomplished. Never saw a laker game but I knew who magic Johnson was growing up.
me too lol
If reincarnation is real…I want to be Dr Jerry Buss!
Absolutely
Based on the HBO series it depends how you knew him😂 great show so far
The players loved him, fans loved him, and God loves him. Rest in Paradise.
And the ladies
Magic and Bird saved the NBA, not knowing it was Dr. Buss all along. His innovation on making the NBA SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT kicked it off. He DEFINITELY needs a statue.
The NBA doesn't get saved without Bird and Magic, period.
His innovations would mean nothing if Magic wasn't good and the Lakers weren't winning. End of the day, it's the players the fans came to see.
They all were significant in elevating the NBA
no it was bird and magic
never saw Dr. Jerry dribble a ball up and down on a NBA court though...
"Life is good. Life is sweet"
RIP Jerry Buss.
Born in Boston, raised in Boston, blood as green as a four-leaf clover..
I love Dr Jerry Buss and I'm thankful for him and his family for sustaining such a worthy adversary.
I only hate the Lakers when we play them, but I've always respected their ownership, their city and have even loved a few of their players.
Magic, Worthy, Scott, Super Cooper, Kareem, Wilt, Elgin, Jerry & Shaq.
Rest in peace Dr Buss.
Us Lakers fans feel the same way. On the basketball court it's all business. Beyond that we always had mutual respect to the Boston fans and players. I've been to Boston Garden, the environment is very hostile during the Lakers and Celtics rivalries. But after the game the fans there are very classy and respectful of me sporting out my Lakers gears. Miss those glory days!
Much respect to you! Though you forgot to add Kobe I actually like Boston too whenever Lakers were not in the playoffs! Jason Tatum and Jaylen were a heck of a duo together! And then ofcourse the history your and my team has!
a lot of respect to boston! our rivalry is nothing without your guy’s history and success. look forward to pulling your hearts out next time!
So sad to hear of your passing, Dr. Jerry Buss. You took the Laker's franchise to the top of the NBA mountain 10 times in 34 years! You will be missed by millions.
RIP Jerry Buss now you can show Red Auerbach in heaven your 10 rings to his 9. Lakers fans sure miss your energy!
Red Auerbach has 16 rings
Red in heaven lol
I'm a die hard fan of Chicago Bulls, but I have so much respect to people like Jerry Buss. Even from this speech, you can see what a great man, owner, and a father figure he is. May his soul rest in peace.
If he was the Bulls owner, Michael would have 15 rings and retired a Bull. Instead Chicago got the cheapest owner in sports who inherited Jordan and got the minimum number of championships out of the greatest player
same on all counts
I feel like John C. Reilly did this man an incredible amount of justice with his portrayal in "Willing Time". He has Dr. Buss's mannerisms down pact.
Winning
The dude playing Jerry West has got to be the front-runner for an Emmy
@@morningwaves Yes Sirr...Jason Clarke has surprised the heck outta me as Jerry West😳
@@morningwaves won’t happen because jerry west is suing hbo because of his portrayal in the show
Yes he did, and I look forward to Season 2 next year!
Watching the HBO series of the L.A Lakers now . Dr. Jerry Buss was that guy ! 💯
You will always be remembered as the greatest owner on sports history!
RIP - Greatest owner of all time!
Literally in tears right now. Dr. Buss has influenced my life greatly. Thank you Dr. Buss for everything. Laker Nation loves you and misses you tremendously. I know you're in heaven watching out for us. Not just the Lakers, but the City of Los Angeles. Like you said Dr. Buss, you and the city were soul mates. It will never be the same without you. RIP and I hope I get to meet you in the afterlife.
Therese
Yes he was a gem. Look at what his son has done.
R.I.P Dr Buss miss you.
He comes across as a decent , kind human being. May he rest in peace.
Rest in peace Dr. Buss. Thank you for the Lakers and everything else you've done. We love you.
Kobe and Jerry are shooting hoops in heaven now
Damn RIP Dr.Buss🙏…as a lifelong Celtics fan I’ve been watching the show winning time on HBO🔥🍿 and I have a new found respect for all Dr.Buss did behind the scenes build that organization and to put all those legends together and with the help of Jerry West and Pat Riley…its always great to relive the Celtics Lakers rivalry in the 80s
Jerry Buss seem like great guy.
You are missed
"We missed the playoffs that year, something unheard of in laker land" we still miss you Dr Buss. Hopefully we change it around for 2023
The sad truth is the family needs to sell the team they aren’t like Jerry.
The Lakers are doomed. Plus, Laker isn't even a word.
@@giavantehines6694 Fr, and we gotta force them to as quick as possible
Goes to show Lebron really failing the lakers missing playoffs twice in 3 years I believe?
@@brycehammerton4542 lol blaming lebron is crazy but I don’t even got a guess why you think that
RIP - with all the due respect to such a great man - a Celtics fan.
Jerry is the one of the kindest men I have had the privilege of spending time with ~
Like night time?
A tremendous owner who was at heart a really rich, diehard fan! Even as a Celtics fan, I appreciate Dr Buss' contributions to the game and the Lakers
Thank you Dr Jerry Buss 💯 for all the great Laker moments we have lived💯 and I love Kareem reactions to when they cheer him on😂
The best owner in NBA history
Even though I'm a Celtics fan I can't deny this. Only missing the playoffs twice in 30 plus years. The man knew what it took to win. Gotta respect that.
@@ericthomas7560 The greatest owner in the NBA buying the Lakers drafting Magic Johnson in 1982 hiring Pat Riley
The greatest owner in AMERICAN SPORTS HISTORY
@@juliansmith4352 dont forget kobe he belived in him the most and knew his potential outta hs
@@rockafeller3734 True cause the Los Angeles Lakers were the team of the 80s in the NBA playing at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood California treating his employees with respect
RIP Dr. Buss, I'm a HEAT fan but always respected his first in class ownership of the Lakers. He introduced a new era of sports when he intiated the Showtime Lakers. Having Pat Riley in Miami gives us a tiny glimpse of the historic Lakers franchise and what has made them so succesful historically. Dr. Buss your impact truly changed the game of basketball. Thank you! RIP playboy
Amazing man, made basketball what it is today, actually saw the value in it
The legend that made the Lakers Hollywood and must see dr. Jerry Buss r i p to the greatest owner in sports history and was just a simple man behind the scenes
Seemed like a really nice man. Awesome how his entire speech was giving credit to everyone else. Clearly gets it. Class.
WINNING TIME! 🥇 brought me here . a legendary laker era fr
the GOAT owner in Jerry Buss and the GOAT executive in Jerry West
I was surprised at first that he did not bring Jerry West up on stage, but he gave him his due in his speech....
Love the stick figure P. F. Pearl Jam is life!!
winning time brought me here. great guy
Jerry Buss was a living legend in LA. He loved LA and LA loved him. RIP Dr. Buss.
Thank you Jerry Buss, for the memories, the happiness, and the titles! You are missed.
In movies the owner is always depicted as being aloof and disconnected from his players. It is really nice to see Dr. Buss had such a close relationship with his players. It seems more like they were an extension of his family.
Magic Johnson was his de facto son
Thank you Dr Buss, you are truly missed! Not only the Greatest owner in all of sports history, but a kind, caring, loving man… what a legend!
Greatest owner of all time Rest In Peace the players and love you and look up to you as a role model Dr. Jerry Buss. Thank you for everything you did for the Lakers franchise Dr. Jerry Buss you will always be remembered in Laker history.
An absolute legend of a man.. Best owner ever. RIP Dr Jerry Buss
What a great Owner... a true BB fan.. RIP Jerry....
This makes me incredibly sad. What a legend.
What a life! All that, and he died at 80 of liver failure. That says- yeah, I did it all. Thank you Dr. Buss for giving us a winning team. And as a USC alum, fight on!
7:52 I think the way he ended his speech by showing his genuine appreciation for his players reflects the fact that he was a true class owner
You can never get tired of hearing him speak. This is my 3rd time listening to it.
I’m suddenly so interested in this man after watching Winning Time. Awesome show about awesome people!
This is why we were blessed we weren't spoiled laker fans. We were just blessed to have such an amazing owner. only miss twice out of his 31 years running the show. Jim buss 4 straight years of missing the playoffs.
RIP Dr. Buss!! We love you!
What a man! Winning Time...great show!!
Thank you Jerry Buss for having love of the game and the players and brought together some of the most amazing coaching staff and players to lead the Lakers to some of the greatest and memorable victories in the history of NBA basketball, R.I.P.
For as rich and successful as he was, he truly seemed to be a humble and genuinely nice man. A legend in his own right. RIP
R.I.P my man there will never be another Buss
I have seen the Lakers miss the playoffs in 3 years more than Dr. Buss did in 31 years......
TheLaLakersFans
Sad ain't it. He would of been disgusted to see this.
@@ohhhyeahhh1174 we back !
@@pabloramos1462
Playoffs yes finals maybe. Won't be because of LeBron. Either Kuzma or Ingram will somehow carry the torch of the next lakers dynasty.
@@ohhhyeahhh1174 not even that was enough to make it
ohhh yeahhh bruh
Dr. Buss It's You Who Have Kept Me Glued To Winning The Laker Story
Dr Jerry Buss, did not let money ruin his character, - still humble, gracious and thankful. His humility is unmistakable. What a man. Intelligent and shreud as hell. Greatest sports owner without a doubt. You are incredibly missed. Enjoy your front court seat in heaven. RIP
Jerry Buss was the man who shaped modern basketball as we know it.
RIP DR BUSS. A TRUE TRUE LOVING OWNER!
all those GOATS in one ROOM !!!
But what a way to go out... A true nba legend... I love him
"Winning Time" on HBO is some entertaining stuff!
John C Reilly is SO awesome as Buss.
That's cold , Kareem standing there like " yo I was here before magic"
Crying while watching this video...R.I.P. to one of the greatest owners in sports, Jerry Buss. Thank you for the everything LA is gonna miss you ),:
Kareem looks so pissed up until Buss mentions him. lol
So sincere and wonderful, Miss the greats!
The best owner, best point guard, best center and the 2nd best coach of all time
The one and only we did it!!!!2020 champs
Kareem was looming mad and wondering what was he doing there. Until buss said hes name so he smiled. Lol
@@kahledblackman318 he has 4 kids. One went to jail for assault and one is a surgeon. I’m sure he is definitely mean lol
Will be missed. Much Respect Mr.Buss.
Jerry Buss help created the Lakers along with the battles with Boston that took the NBA in the 80's and beyond to new heights and where it is today!! Thank you Dr. Jerry Buss. RIP.
YOU CAN HERE Magic tell DR.BUSS HE LOVE HIM AT THE END OF HIS SPEECH... you can tell Magic and Dr.Buss had a special friendship ,..they should do a movie about it....
George Bran you are a disgusting piece of shit
@George Bran You're fucked. Magic said he was the only father figure he ever had, and you're gonna say that? You need help bud. And how is being bisexual considered perverted? What are you 10 years old?
what a great speech by jerry buss r.i.p
Greatest owner of any sports franchise OF ALL TIME! Los Angeles is eternally grateful. You built a dynasty that is unmatched
This man was great. The Lakers are Dr.Buss' team... forever and ever!! YOUR Lakers Dr.Buss... thank you 🙏💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛
Dr. Buss you certainly done your very best with the LA Lakers. As much as you felt honored being surrounded by those HOFs (Magic, Jabbar, Worthy, Pat, Shaq, Kobe and Phil), I believe they are as honored to be around the best owner in league history.
R.I.P. Dr. Buss
Lol at kareems face when Jerry mentions magic. He's rolling his eyes wondering what the hell happened to him. RIP JB. Great Guy.
Winning Time definitely brought me here and just finished watching the last episode 😁. This man if his character was depicted accurately was a straight playboy and lived very, very well and big. This business man showed us all the blueprint to success so salute to him and to the whole family especially if you are a fan like we are so Rest Easy Mr Dr Jerry Buss 💯 🙏
1:05 Look at Kareem. Bus didn't mention him and Kareem is like "ok sure what about me?" LOL
Who’s here because of Winning time lakers dynasty? HBO
R.I.P youre in gods hands now
Thank u dr Jerry buss
Kareem looks so serious. He smiled only when noticed that the audience applauded him.
Jerry Buss is a remarkable person and friend! He always believes in and respects my Projects, that I create in the Entertainment Industry!
He is a True Humanitarian whose friendship I will remember and cherish for the rest of my Life!
Ann Dandridge POWERFUL PEOPLE and FRIENDS
What a great man!
Kareem side eyes so hard when Dr. Buss mentions hof player Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and Larry Bird. BUT NOT KAREEM!
I was thinking the exact same thing. Like, damn, the man is on stage presenting you an award. “You cut me deep Shrek.”
This is the first time I have ever heard him speak but somehow I feel like I already knew his voice before.
You Californian Lakers Fans are lucky to have him
That combover deserves to be in the HOF on its own.
Dr. Buss is the ultimate Lakers Legend. Top 3 best owner in the history of sports period.
after a year :(( RIP Dr.Buss
RIP DR. BUSS LAKERS NATION AND EVERY1 U TOUCHED ALONG THE WAY WILL MISS U DEARLY.... THE GREATEAST OWNER IN SPORTS
Kareem always looks mad.
"You know that right? We love you." Magic Johnson to Jerry Buss at the end of his speech. Can you hear it? I am wearing my Lakers shirt today in honor of Buss.
The GREATEST owner in professional sports history.
one day in the future Jeanie Buss will be right there beside you in the HOF
