Re: Dr. Buss reportedly near death, fighting cancer
No disrespect to the O'malleys but Dr. Buss is the greatest team owner in LA sports history! A few images of the good doctor to cheer everybody up.
If I had a few words to say to Mr. Buss they'd be these:
Dear Dr. Buss:
Thanks for the years of glory, all the joy and all of the happiness. The memories will not soon be forgotten. Wishing you a full and speedy recovery but if it's not in the cards godspeed to you good sir! Godspeed!
Sincerely,
a caring Lakers fan!

Sad news to hear. I didn't know his sickness was this bad. He always put the team first which is what made him so great. You can't say that for money owners. Hope he gets well.
LAKER FAN FOR LIFE
RIP Kobe and Gigi

The man was truly a rock star and lived his life like one to the fullest, we should be celebrating the life he had although the city of LA will miss him very much. You won at life Dr. Buss! God Bless Dr. Buss!

Best wishes to Dr. Buss. An organization couldn't ask for a better owner. Let's hope the news of his demise is premature and that he gets well soon.

Yeh. Thanks for all the years of joy you brought to many Lakers fans, Mr. Buss. A fan of any franchise can't wish for a better owner than you.

Re: Dr. Buss reportedly near death, fighting cancer
Haven't had time to reflect on this, but given how our season has gone it's been like "whats next" for weeks now.I hope Dr.Buss can pull through this, but my gut tells me this can't be good. I knew something was wrong when we started seeing less and less of Doc. He use to do his annual media interview approaching the half way point of the year, but the last few years he hasn't done them.
After hearing this news I could care less if we made the playoffs, I'd trade that in a heartbeat to see Doc healthy. I'd like for him to see his team get back right again.
Hell I still miss Chick, I grew up with him and Doc. These are not good days. Just let us have Doc a little longer.

Re: Dr. Buss reportedly near death, fighting cancer
This completely sucks, but It does shine a light, on some of our front office woes, there seems to be a lack of focus, and rightfully so.
I'm am really sad about this news, really don't know what to say.

Re: Dr. Buss reportedly near death, fighting cancer
Wow, that would be a huge loss. Abe Pollin was a big enough loss as it is.
I wonder how much of this plays into the decisions this year, especially the weird attempt to resurrect Showtime, as a last hurrah for him, essentially.
