Jim Buss is back everyone! Jim is of course infamous for interviews in which he puts his foot in his mouth and has become something of a lightning rod for Laker fans. Whether fairly or unfairly, Jim has become a scapegoat in the Lakers’ Front Office and he’s back now in an interview with Eric Pincus of the Los Angeles Times. In the interview Jim reveals what he thinks about Kobe’s contract and future, the definition of success for him, and he again doesn’t back down from his three-year timeline.
Buss was part of the Front Office that has taken a lot of heat for the last contract they gave to Kobe Bryant.
