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.
