The Lakers are really the biggest team in the world. Everybody knows the Lakers.

Vlade Divac

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.

Jeanie Buss

In a way, it's like I want to come here, I want to play for the home team and put a Lakers jersey on. That's always going to be something that I want to fulfill.

Paul George

People didn't even know where the Lakers' training center was, because we didn't have a flagpole to say, 'This is our home.' We were kind of hidden in the back of the L.A. Kings' practice facility.

Jeanie Buss

Christmas Day was special because everybody is watching at home. That's what I loved about Christmas Day because it shined the spotlight on the Lakers, on our team, and we knew that all of the other leagues were at home and millions of people were watching. So it made it a special day to play on Christmas.

Magic Johnson

I can't tell you how many letters I get from grandmothers who say, 'It's the only thing I can talk to my 15-year-old grandson about.' The Lakers are more than just a basketball team to this city. They're part of this community.

Jeanie Buss

I'd like to think that the nature of the two teams - Boston being a championship team over the years and the Lakers, same thing - was a lot bigger than Larry Bird or Magic Johnson.

Oscar Robertson

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done.

Peter Drucker

The Lakers had been home to me, unlike the home I had grown up and felt apart from.

Jerry West

Bunting is usually a waste of time. The - generally, yeah, I mean, if you think about it, bunt is the only play in baseball that both sides applaud. The - if the home team bunts, you get a base. The home team applauds because they get an out, and the other team applauds because they get a base. So what does that tell you?

Bill James

I don't think the Lakers could control Tony Parker's ability to get into the paint, so his health is the key for San Antonio.

Kenny Smith

I know the Lakers are gonna make decisions for the Lakers.

Nick Young

I can't root for the Lakers. I grew up in northern California, so I spent many of my young adult years rooting against the Lakers.

Timothy Olyphant

If a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms, that doesn't make them Kobe Bryant.

Barack Obama

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.
