A Groundbreaking Sports Empire Acquisition

Today's podcast covers the recent $10 billion sale of the NBA's Los Angeles Lakers to LA Dodgers owner Mark Walter and how the late Jerry Buss helped turn the franchise into a massive empire. I cover the details behind Mark Walter's purchase of the Lakers from the Buss family, how Jerry Buss rose from extreme poverty to build a real estate empire, the historic deal that landed Buss the Lakers, the LA Kings, the Inglewood Forum and a 13,000-acre ranch, and how Buss' creation of the “Showtime” Lakers changed the NBA forever.
