What I don't understand is how Magic can say that (even though it's true) because he is a part owner of the Lakers and an Executive of the organization
I heard on ESPN today that if the Clipps begin to go south with all of their talent, it could be sayonara Vinnie DelNegro and Hello Phil Jackson
Now what do you think that would do for basketball in Los Angeles as well as number of season ticket holders for the Clipps
What would Mr Jim Buss say to that. And finally a father has to love his kids but unless they have Dr Buss in restraints at a seniors facility how the heck can he have let his son screw up so badly

BTW wasn't it Magic who was responsible for the firing of Paul Westhead. This brought about the hiring of a retired Laker working as a radio broadcaster, one Pat Riley. The rest is history

I believe so, Steve. That after Westhead won with him and the Lakers the celebrated title over the Sixers when Magic scored 42 in the final Finals game of '80. The next season after that, Magic demanded to be traded if Westhead was still going to be the coach. Magic won, and Riley got them more titles. Funny tidbit I read about Magic and Westhead in their first year, from this site: http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/lakers/tag/_/name/paul-westhead
"Once upon a time, when Paul Westhead, who has a master’s degree in English literature from Villanova, took over a talented Lakers squad 14 games into the 1979-80 season, he invoked some Shakespeare (from “Macbeth”) with a young Magic Johnson: “If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly.” Johnson looked at Westhead, nodded his head and said, “I get it, you want me to get the ball and run it down the court and score."

Knicks still undefeated by beating the Spurs. There is something really different now this season with the arrival of Jason Kidd. The guy is still hungry for a ring. And how bout the much maligned Rasheed Wallace. Woodson has enough trust to play him 15 minutes, scoring 10 points with 2 tres. For a really washed out player, amazing.

Yeah, Lin's departure is Felton's gain. Big numbers lately. And if he keeps up, Knicks are looking good till the playoffs. Do they still need Amare? Trade him?
Nets has big guys who were doing all the rebounding and the C's had none. C's had their chances but missed those last few jump shots after the tie down the stretch. Didn't know Humphries was that good. All I read last season was that he was voted most hated sports guy after the Kardashian divorce.
I saw a brief clip of the unveiling ceremony, and the statue of Kareem looked pretty good, just like his good old days. Someday, will Jack Nicholson get a statue too? Or a poster maybe?
Yeah Steve, Grizzlies look pretty good so far despite losing OJ Mayo. Gotta hand it to them. Here's a young talented team, full of energy and the man in the middle is now laying claim to be the better Gasol.
Meanwhile, my C's are now moving up slowly by surely. Rondo has 20 assists after missing a game against the Nets. I have high hopes for their power forward rookie Jared Sullinger, the guy is smart and has good moves inside ala Al Jefferson. And Terry is starting to feel like a Celtic.
