As entertaining and well-produced as HBO’s “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/offside/winning-time-where-youve-seen-jerry-west-actor-jason-clarke-before-20220423-0031.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Winning Time</a>: The Rise of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-insider-slams-winning-time-and-its-portrayal-of-jerry-west-20220310-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lakers Dynasty”</a> was, the show was full of false stories and representations. Even <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/hbos-winning-time-draws-harsh-remarks-from-lakers-legends-kareem-abdul-jabbar-jerry-west-20220420-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jerry West threatened</a> to take them to court over how he was portrayed in the show.
Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were blatantly critics of the storyand claimed they weren’t looking forward to watching them at all. Now, fortunately for Lakers fans, they’ll have a chance to know the truth as it actually happened.
They’re on the verge of releasing“Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers,” a new documentary that promises to shed light on never-told stories and how the Buss family turned them into one of the most lucrative franchises in the sports industry, according to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-lakers-owner-jeanie-buss-vows-to-make-more-moves-this-offseason-20220715-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeanie Buss.</a>
<h2>NBA News: Jeanie Buss Says New Lakers Documentary Will Tell All The Truth</h2>
“I want the truth to be known,” Buss told the Los Angeles Times. “I want everybody to have an opportunity to tell their experience. Because I know, from my point of view, what I saw and experienced.”
“But I really have enjoyed listening to what it was like for former players being on this team. I even learned a lot through this process,” the owner added. “And I want Laker fans, who know the wins and the losses, I want them to see the other side, the toll of losing, the toll of winning. It’s not all just about championships and highlight film. It’s about the people who lived the story and their truth.”

<h2>Documentary Director Vows To Portray An Accurate Picture</h2>
Director Antoine Fuqua also emphasizedhow important it was to tell the truth. They don’t want to sugar-coat anything or include fake stories just for the show, which is why it’ll feature those who were actually there during the rise of the dynasty:
“You have to remember [there’s] a lot of misinformation as well, there’s TV shows and other things out there that are not correct,” Fuqua said. “So to hear from the people who actually lived it, the people that ran and run the organization, the players who’ve been through it, their stories. You know, people forget, all these people are human beings, with family and a lot of emotion, a lot of pressure. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes.”
Whether you’re a Lakers fan or not, you must be looking forward to this if you’re into hoops. I’m sure that, just like us, you cannot wait to find out how things truly went down behind closed doors.

They got younger and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/juan-toscano-opens-up-about-which-star-hes-most-excited-to-play-with-stephen-curry-or-lebron-james-20220707-0032.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more athletic</a>, and they’re expected to be better with a fully-healthy <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-news-darvin-ham-reveals-what-could-be-the-lakers-biggest-factor-20220708-0025.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthony Davis.</a>
Nonetheless, as good as their core is, it still feels like they need to make more additions if they want to keep up in the wild Western Conference. Naturally, their salary cap situation makes that an uphill battle.
Still, the Lakers are far from done making moves. Recently, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lakers-news-rob-pelinka-darvin-ham-honest-with-russell-westbrook-about-his-role-20220624-0004.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GM Rob Pelinka</a> and owner Jeanie Buss affirmed that they’re still actively trying to improve the roster to bounce back from last season’s disappointment.
<h2>NBA News: Jeanie Buss Says They’ll Make Mor Roster Moves Soon</h2>
“We still have work to do,” Buss told NBA.com. “We’re not done. Until training camp starts, we’re not going to rest until we’re satisfied that we have the best chance for success.We have to fill out a roster. So I think that Rob knows that every opportunity we can get to improve our team, he has to look at it. Those are the kind of moves that we’re going to make because we want to be back in the playoffs and contending for a title.”

<h2>A Trade For Kyrie Irving Would Lock LeBron James Up As Well</h2>
The word around the league is that the Lakers are eagerly trying to trade Russell Westbrook for Kyrie Irving. According to Marc Stein, that would also assure that LeBron James signs a contract extension:
“This is more reminder than reporting: LeBron becomes eligible for a two-year contract extension in the $100 million range on Aug. 4. That’s less than a month away and those talks could (stress: could) be influenced by the state of the Lakers’ roster (or inject the Irving pursuit with some fresh urgency),” Stein wrote.
The Nets are reportedly asking for multiple first-round picks in any Kyrie Irving trade. The Lakers, on the other hand, want to get the deal done with players only, so it could be a while before there’s any real traction.

The 2021-22 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/jj-redick-espn-analysts-rip-lakers-for-seeking-phil-jacksons-advice-20220506-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> will go down in infamy as one of the most disappointing teams in franchise history. Having <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/espn-lakers-should-consider-trading-lebron-james-20220505-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a>, Anthony Davis, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-lakers-fired-frank-vogel-because-of-russell-westbrook-20220506-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell Westbrook</a> on the roster made them championship candidates, yet they didn’t even make the playoffs.
The Lakers made the news year-round but not for their solid performances. Most people expected them to figure things out eventually, get hot towards the end of the season, and make a playoff run but that never happened.
So, with the season already in the record books and looking back at what may have gone wrong, Lakers owner <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/jerry-west-goes-at-jeanie-buss-for-not-including-him-in-the-lakers-top-5-all-time-20210515-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jeanie Buss</a> has little to be happy about, as she recently told the Los Angeles Times in an interview.
<h2>NBA News: Jeanie Buss Isn’t Happy With The Lakers’ Performances</h2>
“I’m growing impatient just because we had the fourth-highest payroll in the league.When you spend that kind of money on the luxury tax, you expect to go deep into the playoffs,” Buss said.“So, yeah, it was gut-wrenching for me to go out on a limb like that and not get the results that we were looking for. I’m not happy, I’m not satisfied.”
Even so, and despite all speculation, Buss has no intention whatsoever of shaking off the front office. Rob Pelinka will continue to call the shots as General Manager, at least for the foreseeable future.
“In terms of basketball decisions, I have complete confidence in our front office, which is headed by Rob Pelinka,” she added.“He is a person that is extremely smart, extremely strategic, everything he does is thoughtful and with purpose. Ihave complete confidence that he can put together a roster and find a coach that is going to get us back to where we belong.”

</div>

<h2>She Still Has Faith In The Roster</h2>
Moreover, the heiress of the Buss empire still has complete confidence in his team’s ability to bounce back in a big way and pursue another championship. LeBron and Davis already did it, so they might as well do it again.
“There’s no reason for me to think we can’t win with them,” Buss said. “Something that I learned from Phil Jackson is that there’s always a path to success.Sometimes it might be a little bit harder than other times, but you have to see the ability.”

<h2>Lakers Won’t Ever Be For Sale</h2>
Also, even if she’s not satisfied with the team right now, that doesn’t mean she’s ready to call it quits and find another business endeavor. The Lakers are his father’s legacy, and she’ll hold on to them forever:
“In terms of selling the team, I’m not going anywhere. This is exactly what my dad asked me to do,” Buss sentenced.“The team is not for sale. This was something that was important to him, that he wanted me to keep the Lakers in the family. I like to say, my dad had his children, but the Lakers were his baby, and he put me in charge of the baby, and I will make sure that the baby thrives.”
The Buss family has owned the Lakers for quite some time now, taking them to the top of the world when they were a struggling franchise, so there’s no wonder why she won’t even consider an offer for the team.

It’s been a wild couple of months for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/stephen-a-smith-calls-out-lakers-fans-demands-more-respect-for-lebron-james-20220301-0037.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers.</a> Not only have they struggled to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/russell-westbrook-gets-real-on-the-lakers-terrible-season-20220302-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">find success on the court</a> or even stay healthy but also, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lakers-rumors-lebron-has-made-passive-aggressive-comments-against-rob-pelinka-20220221-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James’ recent attitude</a> towards the organization has left a lot to be desired.
James spent the whole All-Star Break throwing passive-aggressive darts towards Lakers’ GM Rob Pelinka. He lauded Sam Presti and Koby Altman and even gave other teams the blueprint on how to get him for at least one season.
One would think that those words would scare most team owners and executives and force them to try and make amends with James. But <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-rumors-anthony-davis-could-leave-the-lakers-for-an-eastern-conference-team-20220301-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lakers</a> ownerJeanie Buss isn’t like most team owners, and she won’t be the one to be bullied.
<h2>NBA Rumors: Lakers Owner Jeanie Buss Stood Up To LeBron James</h2>
According to NBA insider Bill Simmons, the heir of the Lakers empire wasn’t having any of James’ passive-aggressiveness and dart-throwing. She stood up to him and put an end to that rift right away:
“LeBron spent all of All-Star weekend putting stuff out there. Floating Sam Presti, floating the ‘I’m only going to play when Bronny James is coming to the league. I am playing with him. That’s how you get me to your team,&apos;” Simmons said. “Floating some third party stuff that they then denied after about how they had tried to facilitate these Westbrook trades. They were unhappy and taking no accountability for any of it.”
“Jeanie Buss is a tough lady, man,” Simmons added. “She’s been in the league since the early eighties and I think at some point she stood up to those guys and was like, ‘No, stop. You don’t get to undermine all this. Stop. You’re here. You’re under contract next year. What are we doing?’ and I think they had a powwow, that’s what I heard. But I think she stood up for at least something. For them to unwind last week and pretend they weren’t chaos agents was really strange.”

LeBron has been used to getting his way wherever he’s gone but he had never played for such a storied franchise. Truth be told, and despite his great efforts and the ring he led them to, he’s not the first— nor won’t be the last legend to don the purple and gold, and no one is above the organization.

Following a disappointingseason, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> headed into the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/nba-schedule-2021-22-find-here-the-complete-fixture-for-the-nba-2021-22-season-20211018-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021-22 NBA</a> campaign with high aspirations that were fueled by their offseason activity. However, it didn’t take long for them to get frustrated again.
With <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> out fora number of games and<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/russell-westbrook-t134888" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Russell Westbrook</a>off to a bad start, the new-look Lakers have struggled to be consistent at the beginning of the season.

While the team failed to take care of business inwinnable matches, the Lakers head coach had to take most of the blame for his side’s issues and reports haveeven put his positionin question. That’s why Jeanie Buss spoke to the media about this.
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Lakers news: Jeanie Buss says Frank Vogel needs to have a healthy team to be evaluated</h2>
The Lakers did struggle to kick off their campaign as expected. But it’s also true that they’ve not been given a great hand as injuries caught up with them early in the season. And now, it looks like they’re finally turning things around.
During halftime of their fantastic 117-102win over <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boston-celtics-t101837" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boston Celtics</a>, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss put the Frank Vogel’s job security rumors to rest. “Until we’re 100% healthy, I don’t think you can really make any judgment,” Buss told NBA.com.
“We’re as connected as any organization can be. I really don’t know what you’re looking for me to say. I would say until we’re 100 percent healthy, I won’t make any judgments about anything,” she added.
And perhaps the evaluation could begin really soon for Vogel, as the Lakers only have two players out with injury right now, Kendrick Nunn and Trevor Ariza. The latter, however, is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/lakers-news-trevor-ariza-explains-how-hell-turn-the-team-around-20211202-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">getting closer</a> to his season debut.

<h2>Frank Vogel, LeBron James have also spoken up on the coach’s criticism</h2>
Well, everyone at the Lakers may have heard the noise around Frank Vogel’s future. The coach himself and LeBron James, of course, are no strangers to this situation and have spoken up about it.
“I think criticism comes with the job,” LeBronsaid. “Frank is a strong-minded guy. He has a great coaching staff. And we as his players have to do a better job of going out and producing on the floor… Frank doesn’t care and we don’t either, about what people are saying.“
“We’re focused on the job,” Vogel explained. “We stay in the moment, focus at the task at hand, try to win the next game, try to get some momentum around our season… It’s not up to me. So, I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it. Really, I’m just focused on the job.”
That should shut down all the rumors around the Lakers coach position, at least for a while. But from now on, with just a couple of players on the sidelinesthere won’t be more excuses. The timing looks good, though, as the purple and gold look like they are about toright the ship.

NBA Rumors: Lakers owner Jeanie Buss speaks up on Frank Vogel's future

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Los Angeles Lakers</a> are the winningest franchise in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> history. With 17 titles, they’re tied with the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/boston-celtics-t101837" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Boston Celtics </a>at the top of that list, and no other franchise has ever won more than 10 trophies.
And, while it’s obvious that players like Kobe Byrant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal, and Magic Johnson should get most of the credit for that success, you can’t talk about Lakers history without discussing Jerry West’s impact and legacy.
That’s why the legendary shooting guard was so offended when Lakers owner Jeanie Buss left him out of the top-5 best players in franchise history, going as far as to include <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a> ahead of him:
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-28"> </div>
</div>
“You have start with Kareem. And Kobe. And LeBron… Magic might be number one. No, Kareem. I don’t know. It’s so hard. Does he (Phil Jackson) count as a Laker? Then Phil,” Buss said on All The Smoke.
<h2>Jerry West Claps Back At Jeanie Buss Over Top-5 Laker list</h2>
West was clearly disgusted by the fact that Buss chose a coach and a player that’s only been around for 3 years before him, who spent his entire playing career with the organization before also serving as an executive:
“I saw the other day Jeanie Buss made a statement, the five most important Lakers, one of the most offensive things I’ve ever heard in my life. I was there a lot of times, had a lot of success,” West told Peter Vescey on the Hoop Du Jour Podcast. “Be curious to know if they would have had that success if I hadn’t been there.”
“And I don’t ever take credit for stuff, I don’t. When I was around, maybe I was just a good luck charm. But I do know, that when this thing fell apart, there was a lot of years where they weren’t very good,” he added.

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-92"> </div>
</div>

Jerry West was such a big deal in the NBA that the league – unofficially – made him the logo. He’s the only player in NBA history to win the Finals MVP award despite being on the losing team, and he was the one who pulled the trigger to trade for Kobe Bryant.

<div class="ck-related-news"> 
<div id="relatedNews-38"> </div>
</div>

So, yeah, even if younger fans may not know much about him, he definitely deserves a privileged spot in Los Angeles Lakers history. Hopefully, Buss will at least give him a call to apologize.

<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> owner Jeanie Buss, like the rest of the world, has celebrated the 58th birthday of the widely-considered greatest <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> player of all time, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan</a>. The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/chicago-bulls-t101422" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chicago Bulls</a> legend is nearing 60 years and he’s probably celebrating in the best way.
Every basketball and sports fan in the world has celebrated Jordan and all the good things he did during his career, including Buss, who happens to be a business partner of MJ in their Cincoro Tequila company.
The woman took to Twitter to wish a happy birthday to His Airness, choosing a very interesting message to describe how Jordan ages like wine. They have developed a very good relationship and Jeanie and took advantage of that to send a big congratulations to the 6x NBA champion.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-46"> </div>
</div>
<h2>Jeanie Buss calls Michael Jordan a ‘hottie’ in birthday message</h2>
Earlier today, Jeanie shared a message for Jordan, herpartner, making it clear that the former NBA player is looking better with the years with a picture of all the owners involved in the Cincoro company.
“Happy Birthday to my co-founder of Cincoro Tequila, Michael Jordan!! How do you keep getting hotter?? @Cincoro,” Buss wrote on her personal Twitter account.

<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-twitter" id="twitter-78">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
Happy Birthday to my co-founder of Cincoro Tequila, Michael Jordan!! How do you keep getting hotter?? �� <a href="https://twitter.com/Cincoro?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Cincoro</a> <a href="https://t.co/TvADerXgJP">pic.twitter.com/TvADerXgJP</a>
 — Jeanie Buss (@JeanieBuss) <a href="https://twitter.com/JeanieBuss/status/1362064232938807298?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 17, 2021</a> </blockquote></div>
 </div>
</div>
MJ doesn’t have any presence on social media and when he decides to give a message to fans, he uses the Charlotte Hornets’ accounts to do so. Perhaps somebody will show him Jeanie’s message or she already texted him to wish him a big day.
He’s been retired for 18 years now and Jordan’s name is still one of the most famous in the world not only in the NBA but the rest of sports around the globe. This man left a huge mark on the game and that will be hard to erase. Whenever his name shows up, you know you talk about greatness and Jordan won’t ever be forgotten, even if he doesn’t send tweets like other legends like Magic Johnson and Bill Russell.
