Jeanie Buss

Imagine being in charge of a super famous basketball team like the Los Angeles Lakers! That's what Jeanie Buss does. She's like the captain of the team, making sure everything runs smoothly. Her dad used to own the Lakers, and now she's in charge. She's been around basketball her whole life, and she knows how to make a team win!

Jeanie didn't start with basketball. When she was 19, she managed a tennis team! That's like being a team manager for a big tennis tournament. Then, she even bought a roller hockey team. Now, she also helps run a wrestling show for women called WOW. It's amazing how she's involved in so many different sports!

Jeanie Buss is super good at her job. She helped the Lakers win six big championships! That's like winning the Super Bowl six times in a row! In 2020, she was the first woman to lead her team to a championship win as the main boss. That's a huge deal and makes her a real-life sports hero!

Jeanie comes from a family that really loves sports. Her dad, Jerry Buss, owned the Lakers before her. When he passed away, he left the team to his six kids. Jeanie stepped up and became the main leader. It’s like a big family business, but with a whole basketball team!
