LAKERS: Dr. Jerry Buss - Hall of Fame
From those humble beginnings, Buss would go on to amass a fortune in real-estate, purchase the Lakers, the NHL's Kings and the Forum, establish Los Angeles' greatest sports dynasty with 10 NBA championships and change the face of the league with an innovative ownership style.
"He has owned the team 31 years and they have been in the NBA Finals 16 times," said NBA commissioner David Stern. "Luck doesn't last that long."
