I just enjoy going to the games, but if you're watching the Lakers play, it feels good to be rooting for the Lakers. You're on the winning end of things most of the time.
I can't say that I grew up saying, 'Someday I want to be vice president of the Lakers,' because that's not how it happened. I work for our family business, and that happens to be the Lakers.
When I grew up it was Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls, the Lakers, the Boston Celtics, those were the teams you loved or hated and me being from San Diego, you loved the Lakers.
I've been a Lakers fan since growing up in Oklahoma. My hometown's finally got the Thunder, which is really exciting, but I've still got to stick with the Lakers.
The Lakers are really the biggest team in the world. Everybody knows the Lakers.
Growing up in California, I was always a Lakers fan.
I know the Lakers are gonna make decisions for the Lakers.
I grew up watching the Lakers.
I grew up a Lakers and a Clippers fan.
The rivalry between the Lakers and Celtics endured for about eight years, and the interest grew each year.
I grew up watching the Lakers and the Dodgers and the Rams, all local men's professional teams, and never really had any women that I grew up watching.
I loved basketball and grew up with the Lakers and Magic Johnson. That was a big part of me.
What I made clear to our front office is we're going to be judged by wins and losses. It isn't about having a marquee star player and coming in last place. That's not what Lakers basketball is. Lakers basketball is winning basketball.
I grew up in L.A. in the '80s, and the Lakers were the biggest thing to ever hit the world at that time.
Even before my dad passed away, people tried to buy the Lakers. Sony tried in the 1980s. People have always wanted to buy the Lakers. They're not for sale.
I grew up in L.A., so I'm a huge Lakers fan and Kobe fan.
