The Making of a Basketball Dynasty

Unreleased Interviews of LA Lakers Owners Dr. Jerry and Jeanie Buss

By: Dr. Elliott Haimoff

Narrated by: John Ireland

Produced by Dr. Elliott Haimoff, Barbara Sharp, Alina Butina and Randy Friend

This audiobook contains the UNIQUE unfiltered, unedited, and previously unreleased interviews conducted by Dr. Elliott Haimoff of Afterburner Enterprises of the long-time LA Lakers owner, Dr. Jerry Buss, and his daughter, Jeanie Buss, who is now the President and controlling owner of the Lakers.

These two iconic figures collectively changed the game of pro basketball as we now know it, and altered the entire landscape of pro sports entertainment. They put the “Show” in “Showtime”, representing the gold standard for all sports teams in all pro sports leagues around the world. However, Jerry & Jeanie have never previously told the back-story to the early days of their sports team ownership, before all the glitz and glam and Hall of Fame players.

Their true creative genius is brought here to the public from their own recollections and in their own words of those kinder gentler days of yesteryear.

There are several other previously unreleased interviews with basketball and sports icons interviewed here who all had an effect on the Buss family that’s included here—Dennis Murphy, Mitch Kupchak, Bill Sharman, Claire Rothman, and Michael Shapiro.

The introduction and epilogue are presented by John Ireland, the long-time LA Lakers announcer and “Voice of the Lakers”.
