Three years ago Los Angeles Lakers part-owner and former executive vice president of basketball operation Jim Buss said that if the Lakers were not championship contenders in three years (which would be this season), then he would resign from his position to give someone else a chance to return the historic franchise to greatness.
While Buss did not do that, his sister Jeanie, who is the president of the Lakers, took matters into her own hands by firing her brother and general manager Mitch Kupchak in February.
