Jeanie Buss/ Lakers Soap Opera

I was looking throughthe Lakers website, i came across a bio- for Jeanie Buss. For those of you who don't know who she is, she is the owner's daughter and the Head coach's girlfriend. Besides being upper Lakers management,she has also posed for playboy. Lakers fans really owe Jeaning a great deal. Rumor has it if it wasn't for her inter-office romance with Phil Jackson, he never would have come back. Although the Lakers still aren't winning any championships, one has to admit that they have shown some improvement.

Thinking of the whole Jeanie/Phil romance, made me wonder if any other Lakers fans feel as if they are watching a soap opera unfold. I used to think that the Lakers provided entertainment through basketball, but after the last few seasons, I can at least be greatful that they have given me good gossip. Think about the last couple of years... There was the Shaq/Kobe feud in which Kobe took the brunt of the blame for running Shaq out of LA. There is the office romance previously mention. Gary Viti and Kwame's sexual harrasment/rape charges were also news. Oh let's not forget Kobe's rape case. There was that time that Phil dissed Kobe in his book. What about the time Karl Malone allegedly made "inappropriate comments" to Kobe's wife? There was the death of Lamar's son and Kobe being called a "dirty player" by the press. There is enough material hear to last longer than all the seasons of All My Children. Could it be the LA water?
