Mohr Stories CLASSIC #349: Jeanie Buss

On this very special Mohr Stories Classic from 2016, Jay sits down with his now wife and Lakers governor, Jeanie Buss. They discuss growing up in the Buss family, inheriting the responsibility of the Lakers, and protecting a franchise that’s bigger than basketball. Jeanie opens up about her father Jerry Buss, the birth of Showtime, fan-first decision making, arena design, leadership through humility, and why culture matters as much as championships. Equal parts sports history, Hollywood lore, and personal philosophy, this classic episode is a master class in stewardship, legacy, and knowing when to let others shine.
