Who would have thought this comment from 2017 would be even more relevant today, three years after.
“The message is clear here: Do not underestimate Jeanie Buss,” Adam Streisand, her attorney, told the Los Angeles Times back in 2017.
The comment heralded the end of the ill-famous family feud over the ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers. Buss took charge and warded off a takeover attempt from her brother Jim, who lost his executive role in the aftermath.
But Streisand’s words reverberate even louder now that the Lakers have been crowned the champions in the Orlando bubble for the 17th time, tying the Boston Celtics for the most titles in NBA history.
