Not that its wrong, I just think if his own teams parade is on, maybe he should stay out of the public's view. I think it looks bad that hes playing at the bicycle club instead of celebrating a Lakers Championship? What do you guys think? Should he have been their?

atleast he was playing poker and watching it on TV i guess?

Buss is a MAJOR gambling addict. Don't be surprised.

Yeah, I didn't post this, because he's our great owner, and it's bad pub, it was a little snipet on TMZ. Dude is the man he can do whatever the F he wants. You think he wanted to deal with the crowds and the heat?

Remember when the Denver Broncos used to be a class franchise, they are imploding, the Raiders look like the better franchise right now. Let him go Hugh Hefner and gamble, he worked his ass off to get where he is, these are his golden years, let him spend them how he wishes.

It's Jeanie's dad dude. Phil's eventual father in law. It's family.

Lakers fans already know that Buss has two traditions.
1. don't go to finals games on the road. (doesn't like to be around people that cheer against the Lakers in a finals series)
2. don't go to victory parade. (let's the team and staff get all the credit they deserve, he doesn't like to steal anybody's thunder)

LOL. it's okay.

he's trying to get a few extra bucks to afford our FA's

Didn't he come 2nd in the world poker championship..

Apparently he is a very good poker player...

Guy bankrolls all the big acquisitions for the lakers.. thats all we need..

Who cares if he does not attend the parade.. Parade is overrated anyway.. getting the trophy is the real prize...

"crap, what do I tell Kobe???"

Move along people, there’s nothing to see here!

AS long as he resigns Odom, Ariza, and Brown, he could do whatever he wants.
Does not bother me one bit.
He is one of the greatest owners in the history of all sports.

Well, I guess this picture could be posted as opposed to the ones with Miss May and Miss June.

That's jerry buss, the man that allows his franchise to work and thus got him so many rings. I'm pretty sure the loud chanting, hot sun is not for him. His life is poker and he ain't getting any younger so why not enough it as much as he can.. let his kids and staff savour the moment.

and of course, we have to thank him for losing quite a few hands. i'm sure that's what pushed him to deal radmanovic away for shanwow and ammo

Time to sign Verbal and let him work his magic.

Man I would be doing the samething. He's a busniess man that just invested in the team. Thats the way you have to look at him. He has the right people running ish for him and he stays out of their way. You seen one title you've seen them all. He cares more about money than he does about exposure and fame. Sad to say but you cant blame him. People are different in their own ways, but call me crazy, dont you play poker with other people and if so then why is he sitting there all alone. Maybe he's playing black jack ?

the opposite could be mark cuban. jogging the parade route high fivin everyone. hogging the microphone at the coliseum. calling off stu and mychal thompson and sayin, i got it guys, hit the road, this is my show. and of course, cuban wouldve been like, "look at me everyone, im doin the mark madsen!!"

I'm with everyone else, doesn't bother me. I'd rather have an owner who takes his role behind the scene's and allows the staff and players to get the credit they deserve from the fans.

Btw, does anyone else hate the fact so many people (not associated with the team) are on the buses during the parade? I heard on a station actor David Arquette was on the bus! I could be wrong he may have a legit affiliation with the team...but I would prefer to see one bus filled with JUST players and staff rather than all these groupies mixed in.

double post
