Lakers owner Jerry Buss has been hospitalized because of an undisclosed form of cancer, spending time in the intensive care unit at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, according to multiple team personnel.
A Lakers spokesman declined to comment on his condition.
A report Thursday from radaronline.com said that players were visiting Buss because of “what they expect to be his final days.”

Yeah this sucks. He was truly a great owner. Will be a sad day for Laker Nation when he passes. I see many dark days ahead as a Laker fan. I do not have much faith in his son, simply judging the moves since his father gave him the reigns.

Bad day to be a Lakers' fan. He made this club what it was, Dr. Buss is as good of an owner as there has ever been.

Sharp woman and would be smart enough to let the basketball people handle it. I was reading an interview about the guy one day and I took from it that he thinks he's smarter than he really is.Quote:

This is cancer. It kills and destroys. It's why I HATE using the word for a disruptive locker room element. I allow turns of phrases in all other kinds of examples like when I say someone got slave feet, but this?
Damn. Hope and pray for the best. I despise his time, but bear him no ill will. -

Prayers to the Buss family and the Laker family. That's tough right there. Nobody is promised "forever" but its never easy to watch someone on the down-side.

I've been listening lately. I don't recall it. I just remember Stephen A. Killin Jim constantly.

02-18-2013, 01:50 PMRaisingTheBarI watch everyday, not the full episode but everyday. I could be getting the names confused and it is the reverse of what I originally said I just don't know why skip would have brought that up.Quote:

Monty on passing of Jerry Buss: "I know a lot of people in that Laker organization who love it out there, and the main reason is Dr. Buss."
