    Did anyone here her interview on the CC regarding the Kobe article?

    Wow she came across looking stupid. Why did they allow her to go on the radio?
    Of course Colin has to stand up for his fellow ESPN co-worker (Abbott) but when Colin rips on a LA team, you know it is getting bad.

    Find the podcast on this if you can. She is running part of the Lakers? Hilarious.

    "Any free agent that would be afraid to play with Kobe is probably a loser and I'm glad they wouldn't come to the team," - Jeanie Buss on Sports Center.


    "If there is somebody who is on our pay roll who is saying things like that I'll soon get to the bottom of it and they won't be working with us anymore."


    Too funny...

    That was the tweet... yeah.

    I think the word she was looking for was "smart" there, not "loser". You know what though, THANKS JEANIE! You just made the Lakers an even more undesirable location for free agents. Hey Kobe, play for 10 more years!

    I like the part where she said she was in charge and she could fire her brother if she wanted.
    There is only one owner she said and she is the one.

    I remember there being talk of a power struggle between her and her brother before she came out and said "i'm the one in charge" last year.

    This should labeled OT, since we don't have a "Godforsaken L*kers" section.

    Lol she is awful, as much hate as her brother gets my guess is he wanted to move on without Kobe and build with Dwight and she pulled a power move, blew Kobe then told Dwight to beat bricks if he wanted to lose.

    Anytime it's a negative about the Lakers in this Blazers forum you don't need to put an "OT" by it.

    Sorry, but if it is not a 'Blazers' topic, it is therefore, by definition, 'off topic'.

    But please, post any negative Flakers drama you find. Cuz I'm loving it!

    I thought she was the smart sibling, guess there isn't one in that family.

    Neither one of those Busses have showed any sense ever since their Daddy died or ever since they took control over the franchise. If she come acrossed looking stupid I'm sure Phil will let her know about it.

    Well aparently she was OK with what she said to Colin because she repeated it here in this video:

    http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:11749383

    Seriously Phil,I know you are old and somewhat crippled, but can't you do better? I don't get it. It's not like he needs her money.

    She's not a basketball person, I thought her interview was fine. Colin is a blowhard.

    I hate that franchise as much as everyone else, but anyone can realize that that team has been more successful than any other in the league in the past 25+ years. They did win two titles back to back just in the past 5 years, so they haven't been bad for too long. Colin's questions made them seem like the freakin Bucks.

    Yeah I figured at some point someone would bring up their past championships. But I just don't see how it is relevant to Jeanie.

    I am not a fan of Colin, but he asked a simple question and Jeanie went the "Loser " rout. It made her sound like a HS girl instead of the owner of the biggest franchise in the NBA.

    If she had any intelligence she would have let the topic die down on it's own instead of fueling the fire and bringing it into yet another news cycle. What is she doing making the rounds on ESPN. She is not suited for it.
