Jeanie Buss says Luke Walton is the right man for the Lakers

When Jeanie Buss sorts through her late father’s belongings and memorabilia from his life, her emotions are complicated.

Preserving Jerry Buss’ legacy matters to her. It’s part of the impetus for her latest passion project.

Haven Entertainment has begun production on an untitled Lakers documentary. The film will focus on the Showtime-era Lakers, who won five championships in nine years. It will pay special attention to team owner Jerry Buss’ life, his relationship with former star Magic Johnson and how he implemented his vision for the Lakers.

“Last Friday we had, we called it a purge party at the offices to get people to start preparing for the move [to a new facility] next summer,” Buss said.
