She is the ELDEST BOY. 

FAMILY THERAPY 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿 👏🏿

And she absolutely deserved it.

Spoilers

They threw her under the….

Thanks for ruining the show dude

she doesn’t get to make unilateral calls when she only has ¹⁄₅ of the Buss family shares.

She couldn’t buy her siblings out so they voted her out.

A really intriguing part of this is that the two younger Buss brothers are on the record as having wanted to retain ownership before the sale to Walter last year, because they liked being involved with the team.

Jeanie wanted to sell most of her stake to cash in while still retaining her controlling stake under the Walter agreement. Also what is interesting was the older Buss brothers were originally on her side on the partial sale because they could cash in as well.

What does this have to do with Phil Jackson? /s

Ah, the Rebecca Welton strategy.

The funniest part is Jeanie exec produces the show.

Surprisingly good show btw, it’s a nice low investment comedy that still has a fun plot and characters

They must be so excited about how the past couple years since the show started have turned out.

Lol this is totally something that would happen on the show.

RDAmbition shows up for S4.

There’s another sister too called Janie lol. Their secret sister that was given up for adoption doesn’t have a J name though

No.

None of them are serious people.

No they’re all made up names

They’re all real, but we threw in one fake name just to see if you’re paying attention.

Jerry kept things simple.

What was Dr. Buss cooking.

Buss brothers that don’t work for the team: Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Robby, Brian and Will.

George Foreman definitely isn’t impressed.

He’s gonna try for 3 times.z

Law school as well.

Yup. Sometimes you need to backtrack in life to find a better way forward.

Hard to do when you burned the bridges as you went along.

Running Point on Netflix for anyone else.

But isn’t it produced by Jeanie herself? That’s like expecting to get the truth about Magic Johnson from a documentary made by Magic Johnson

Arrested Development

succession

You forgot Jacob and Justin.

The same reason peasants cared about the royal families in the middle ages. Life’s boring yo

One of the most famous American pro sports teams with a family ownership backstabbing each other until this final act as they sell away? Gee I’m not sure why we care..

Don’t comment then lol 

Less worried and more entertained by. It’s like watching a telenovela/soap opera.

We don’t. This post was forced upon us.

Why do people love watching shows about fake billionaire family drama?

Its entertaining lol

It’s a distraction from the Clippers investigation. I don’t believe it’s a coincidence. 

that’s the worst name I ever heard

Bus ain’t got it like Logan

There’s already a show based on the them: “Running Point”

I take it you think Kevin McHale didn’t clothesline the male Rambis hard enough in the 1984 NBA Finals, eh?

Jeanie had a deal to stay on as the Governor and official face of the Lakers for 5 more years even though they sold majority interest of the team. Now that the Buss family sold their minority stakes, Jeanie is out as Governor and any affiliation with the team effective when the sale goes through.

She ended up backstabbing all of her brothers over the years for complete ownership of the lakers. With this sale they all turned on her, profited, and took the family out of the Lakers business

All the family are owners, but Jeannie was governor, so she could make the most decisions at the club, often against the wishes of her brother’s. Outside of the role, she also sued her brother’s for various reasons.

Along comes the corrupt Kushner and Disney dickheads, and the brothers not only collectively agreed to sell their stakes, but it also means that Jeannie will lose her role as governor - not sure if it forced her to sell her stake as well, or is she just sold it since she couldn’t stand not being governor.

I never thought too much of her, so I don’t really care for the dramatic machinations of billionaire idiots.

Because their parents don’t know how to name their kid without a J at the start.

Thanks gang 🙏

Et me, buddy.

Rich people problems basically. Not sure why anyone cares.

assuming equal equity among the siblings, a 12.5 billion valuation, each sibling would get about ~354 million dollars before taxes.

It was within the last year, since Walter took over. He fired Joey and Jessie on the scouting side. Jeanie fired Jimmy after his timeline debacle didn’t pan out years ago.

the best thing for the kids was to sell. The way Buss had his will. The grandkids get nothing. And anytime a sibbling died, their shares goes to the remaining sibllings. so if you are the oldest kid, who has his own kids to worry about. will you keep holding on it so when you die, your shares goes to Jeannie, your baby sister, who kicked you out and your own kids get nothing?

It’s like dumb succession.
