Young girls love Jerry Buss because he's funny, is in a band, and excels at extreme sports. Or it's because of his money.
Interesting story
over on SportsbyBrooks about how poker player/LA Lakers owner
Jerry Buss‘ dating habits are starting to annoy
Phil Jackson and
Jeanie Buss.
From the post:
Acclaimed author Roland Lazenby, who wrote probably the two best books about the Lakers ever published, recently blogged of concern Phil Jackson and Jeanie Buss had about 75-year-old Lakers Owner Jerry Buss.
As for those teen-aged girls, Buss has long dated hundreds of them, usually only once or twice each, and then collected their photos in albums. He has not been above boasting about his conquests to some media and associates.
Buss and his elderly friends gather in his owner’s box at Lakers games with their young dates, a sight that’s increasingly hard for Jeanie Buss, the owner’s daughter and Phil Jackson’s girlfriend, to stomach.
Now we’ve seen Buss at plenty of poker events over the years with young girls (see at 1:20 in here and here). But really, if you’re 75 and nearing the end of the line yet can still pull 19 year-olds, more power to you. People should be building monuments in your honor (or better yet, statues with erections like they did in Ancient Rome with Priapus and Mutunus Tutunus).
Anyway, not sure why Jackson and Jeanie have their panties up in a wad here. Hot girls are hot. It’s like we always say…marriages are temporary, but hot 19 year-olds last forever.

Jerry Buss opts for a game of Solitaire at the Bike over attending the Lakers' victory parade yesterday (for the visually impaired this photo courtesy of TMZ.com).
Apparently Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss really, really, really hates victory parades. So much so he’d rather play poker by himself at the Bicycle Cashithole than attend his team’s celebratory march through L.A. on Wednesday.
We captured the exclusive photo above of Buss playing at the Bike yesterday as the Lakers’ parade airs live on TV, and by captured we mean ripped it from this TMZ.com post.
While we get not wanting to be around a bunch of overly enthusiastic fans who inexplicably loot and vandalize crap after their team wins the NBA championship, playing poker at a craphole like the Bike isn’t what we’d be doing. No, if we were Buss we’d be killing time doing this (again here).

Grampa gets an eye-full of Jerry Buss’ railbird late night at the 2008 WSOP.
A day after the Celtics hammered his Lakers in Game 6 of the NBA Finals by more than five touchdowns, Jerry Buss, 74, was grinding it out in the $1,500 buy-in Seven Card Stud event at the 2008 WSOP while being railed by some exotic-looking youngin’ we’re guessing is a few years shy a third his age, if that in any way adds up to about 21.
And by exotic we mean what is she? Indonesian? Peruvian? Native American/Filipino/Black/Mexican? Not that it really matters. Just curious.
Anyway, the girl above was with him all day along with another, way hotter, equally exotic-looking chick who looked sort of like Jeannena Flores, the Hawaiian Tropic model he was with when he got busted for his DUI. We’re not sure where she went later in the night when it was just the girl above on the rail. Curfew perhaps.
Why are we writing about this shit? Oh yeh, we promised pics in this post. Click away below, including the crappy one a reader emailed us from his iPhone. See how Jerry’s doing today on Day of Event No. 35 here.

While our photog was getting busted and Phil Ivey and Jerry Buss were chatting it up, there was actually some great poker going on at the Rio last night. Update time…
:: Event #31 ($2,500 No Limit Hold’em Six-Handed) - Our favorite scarf-wearing Euro, Dario Minieri (photo), took this one down. He beat Seth Fischer heads-up for the title, winning his first bracelet and banking $528,418. In what probably contains no irony at all, Dario’s winning heads-up hand was pocket Queens. Not that Dario goes that way, even though most Euros are definitely more sexually "open" than U.S. Americans. In fact, we’d wager that that little guy probably bags more chicks than KFC. Mostly because European girls are more sexually "open" than just about anywhere else in the world, and that includes girls who grew up in Florida. So actually why are we ripping on Euros? They hardly work, their money is worth more than ours, and they’re doing it like all the time. Bastards. This is a poker blog, right? Get full chip counts here.
Rest of the update after the jump . . .

We have no idea what Phil Ivey, who is rumored to have bet a bundle of cash on the LA Lakers to win the NBA championship series (along with a bunch of other players), was saying to LA Lakers owner Jerry Buss in the above photo taken last night in the Amazon Room at the Rio Las Vegas.
However, their combined income probably exceeds the GDP of many small countries, so they could probably give two shits about any joke we’d make about it any way. Money is cool like that.
Look for another post on Jerry Buss and his hot railbird shortly…

As the Entities watched the LA Lakers win a thriller against the Utah Mormons last night, we noticed a familar face screaming “Are you kidding me???!!!” at the refs with around two-and-a-half to go: poker pro Phil Ivey.
Apparently we weren’t the only ones who noticed Ivey (seen above, sitting as 20,000 other stand), as Pocket 5’s (here) and 2+2 (here) have some threads on it.
The big question is how did Ivey get the courtside tix? While our answers range from, “Who really cares?” to “Seriously, who really cares?” the common theories are that high-stakes player/friend Jerry Buss gave them to him, as he’s been known to do, or that the Laker’s owner is paying off a prop bet debt to him with the choice seats.
In related news, can somebody get the “Are you kidding me?” up on YouTube? Thanks.
