Long time NBA owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, Dr. Jerry Buss died on Monday at the age of 80 after a year and a half long battle with cancer. Buss was raised in Kemmerer and earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Wyoming in just 2 1/2 years. Buss was a chemist by trade and then moved to real estate, earning enough money to buy the Lakers, the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and the Forum, where they played for $67.5-million. The Lakers franchise is reportedly worth now over $1-billion. Under Buss' ownership, the Lakers made it to the NBA finals 16 times, winning 10 of them with players ranging from Kareem Abdul Jabbar to Magic Johnson to Shaquille O'Neil to Kobe Bryant.
