Reader Comment of the Day: "Dr. Buss was correct in naming all the great players, coaches, and managers that helped him create the great success of the Lakers organization. His use of new avenues for televised broadcasts was excellent. His "Showtime" entertainment philosophy, including the new Staples Center, helped make NBA games a center-piece of sports in the City of LA. Truly a NBA Hall of Fame owner. Great job Dr. Buss!" -- RedBluffPete
