Jeanie Buss responds to 'familiar' Netflix comedy 'Running Point'

A new comedy on Netflix caught the attention of Jeanie Buss, the president and controlling owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, for obvious reasons.

The show, titled "Running Point" and starring Kate Hudson, was announced on Tuesday. The actress plays the main role in a storyline that's reminiscent of Buss' tenure with the Lakers. According to Netflix's description, when Hudson's brother is forced to resign as president of the fictional Los Angeles Waves, she replaces him.

"Now that she's stepping up into the family business, she's going to have to prove to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job," Netflix adds.
