The Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most legendary teams in sports, just changed hands for the first time in over 40 years. The Buss family, led by Jeanie Buss, sold their majority stake to billionaire Mark Walter for a jaw-dropping $10 billion—the highest price ever paid for an NBA team. Now, everyone’s wondering: What’s next for Jeanie, who’s been a central figure in the Lakers' success? Will she stay involved, or is this the end of an era?
Editor’s Note: The Lakers aren’t just a basketball team—they’re a cultural institution. This sale shakes up the future of the franchise, and Jeanie Buss’ role (or lack thereof) could signal big changes in how the team is run. For fans, it’s about more than money; it’s about whether the Lakers’ identity stays intact.
