Buckle up for a wild trip behind the scenes of one of the most exclusive clubs on earth: the world of professional sports owners. A mix of comedy, tragedy, and everything in between, OWNED is the first podcast ever to take listeners way above the court or field into the luxury boxes where billionaires roam. Each week, former NBA player (and current Twitter all-star) Rex Chapman is joined by a cast of reporters, athletes, and comedians to dissect the politics, scandals, and scores of these eccentric moguls who hold our hopes and dreams in their hands. It is fun, funny, dynamic, surprising, and based on incredible stories; a hybrid talk show that combines the wit and flair of SmartLess with the reporting, storytelling, and production muscle of Campside Media, creators of hit shows like Chameleon: Wild Boys, and Suspect.
This week, Rex Chapman is talking about the great Dr. Jerry Buss! Dr. Buss bought the Lakers in 1979 and turned them into one of the most exciting franchises in professional sports. We couldn't think of anyone better to talk about Dr. Buss than his daughter and current owner of the Lakers, Jeanie Buss! We talk about Jerry buying the Lakers, his love of nightclubs, and how he brought Showtime to LA and, eventually, the entire NBA!
