Recently, Joey Buss and Jesse Buss of the Buss family were fired by the Lakers. Jesse Bass was interviewed by The Athletic reporter Dan Woike.

Q: "Can you talk specifically about some of the ways you felt heard before that you feel less heard now?"

Jesse: "Generally speaking, you hear about what's going on with the team more through the media now than directly from the front office or anyone on the team. There was no discussion on player personnel, there was no communication about the draft outside of my team, and ultimately I saw some decisions being made that I wasn't really informed about. .Obviously, I want the best for the Lakers because this is the team that I've watched my whole life and I've always loved it, and I'm very happy to see them perform so well this season."

asked: "Today, you didn't have anything to do with you. Have you spoken to your sister Jenny or general manager Rob Pelinka? "

Jesse: "No, I haven't spoken to them for five months."
