00:00:00Sous-titrage MFP.
00:00:30Paul Westhead, the people said that you might have been responsible for him leaving the organization.
00:00:37All I asked was I wanted to be traded, and then all the other things came out.
00:00:43I went on David Letterman, and I didn't want to continue to bash Coach Westhead.
00:00:48You know, I'm not that dude. I just wanted to move on.
00:00:52I wanted us to get back to our winning ways.
00:00:54I wanted us to get back to running and gunning because we were not doing that.
00:01:00It doesn't seem that long ago that we were winning a world championship.
00:01:06And I say adios to the people of Los Angeles.
00:01:10It was my first time being fired, but I learned a long time ago that if someone's going to fire you, don't beg.
00:01:21If that's what you want, then okay.
00:01:24It was going to come down to Irvin or Paul.
00:01:28Paul couldn't do what Irvin did on the court.
00:01:30So, you know, if the coach can't make a very, very key player happy, we're not going to win as many games as we could.
00:01:43And that's just a fact.
00:01:48In the best interest of the entire Laker organization, we have appointed Jerry West as offensive coach.
00:01:59Pat Riley will stay as coach for the Lakers.
00:02:04Well, first of all, I'd like to clear up one thing.
00:02:07I'm going to be working for Pat Riley.
00:02:10And I feel that my responsibility with and for Pat Riley.
00:02:16And I think my responsibility is to him because I feel in my heart that he is the head coach.
00:02:22And hopefully my position here won't be a long-range position.
00:02:29Dr. Buss announced Jerry was going to be the head coach.
00:02:31And then Jerry came up and said, no, Pat's going to be the head coach.
00:02:34And then I got up there and said, well, if nobody wants it, I'll take it.
00:02:37Ed Arnold, who's been covering the story all day, is with a new coach.
00:02:40Ed and Pat Riley, yes.
00:02:41Well, Pat Riley is the new coach.
00:02:43Actually, there are two new coaches, according to Dr. Jerry Buss, the owner of the team.
00:02:46One is Jerry West.
00:02:48The other one, of course, is Pat Riley, who's with me now.
00:02:50What will the status be between you and Jerry?
00:02:52Well, right now, Eddie, because I'm familiar with the total concept of the Laker team offensively and defensively,
00:03:00I will be in charge.
00:03:02Jerry will support me offensively in the suggestions and, you know, in that capacity until a further date if there is one.
00:03:09So at the press conference, my dad is explaining that Pat would be coaching defense and Jerry would be coaching the offense.
00:03:18But when Jerry West came in and contradicted my dad, my dad had to defer to Jerry West, therefore making him the shot caller in the organization.
00:03:30I offered Jerry West the job and I said, you may use or not use Pat Riley to whatever level you choose.
00:03:39And I will hold you responsible for the overall program and, in particular, I want you to improve our offense.
00:03:47After that, Jerry talked to Pat, the news conference was held, and he said, Pat Riley will be the head coach.
00:03:55You see, with the authority that I gave him, he has the right to do that.
00:03:58My feeling is, Jerry, you take this and you do what you think is right and what you think is best.
00:04:04If that's what he thinks is best, I have every faith in him.
00:04:07So Pat Riley is running the ball club?
00:04:09Uh, that's correct.
00:04:11I don't think my dad was angry about it, but it definitely set a tone for their relationship going forward.
00:04:19You know, that's not how my dad would want to be thought of, that he wasn't the sole decision maker.
00:04:26Magic, if you disagree with Pat Riley as you did with Paul Westhead, would you ask to be traded?
00:04:32Well, we just have to wait till that comes.
00:04:35I can't answer that now.
00:04:36How can I answer that?
00:04:38And, like I said, I just wait till it comes.
00:04:40Your thoughts on Pat Riley?
00:04:42Well, he's the coach now.
00:04:44He's the man I have to work for.
00:04:45I hope that things go smoothly.
00:04:47Do you think I have any problem at all with the players?
00:04:49I don't think so.
00:04:50I hope not.
00:04:51You know, they're professionals and, you know, this day has come and gone.
00:04:55And tomorrow night they're playing against a team that beat them by 30 points last week.
00:04:59So I think their incentive is to play.
00:05:01And I don't think I'll have any problems with it.
00:05:06One of the things about Dr. Buss is that he wanted a team to be a family.
00:05:11As much as we are together as a team, the only way you're ever going to win is to be a family.
00:05:17It is really to be tight.
00:05:18And to trust one another.
00:05:35There he is.
00:05:36His first shot is an owner.
00:05:37You think he likes it?
00:05:38At this moment, I can't believe it.
00:05:45What's the future?
00:05:46Want to replace your father at the top?
00:05:48Yeah.
00:05:52Between my daughters and my sons, there are certainly enough sports teams to go around.
00:05:56Are you and the rest of the family, are you guys all on the same page?
00:06:06The Lakers caught in the middle of a family power struggle.
00:06:14I think I've really left them with something.
00:06:15My teammates didn't like that Dr. Buss and I were close.
00:06:34But what made life even worse than that is when he gave me the 25-year, $25 million contract.
00:06:4121-year-old Urban Magic Johnson has just pulled off a trick
00:06:44that makes Harry Houdini look like a two-bit carnival act.
00:06:47The 6'8 guard who led the Lakers to a world championship finish his rookie season
00:06:51has signed a new contract.
00:06:53It is a whopper, folks.
00:06:55The two-year veteran will earn about $500 per hour
00:06:58based on a 40-hour work week for the next 25 years.
00:07:01That comes out to a nice, neat little sum of $25 million.
00:07:05It is the richest and the longest in professional sports history.
00:07:09Magic came to me and said,
00:07:11I would like to be a Laker throughout my entire playing career.
00:07:15Could we sign a long-term contract?
00:07:17I said, yes, we can.
00:07:19So you have to visualize what salaries will be at that time.
00:07:24And my guess is for a star of Magic's caliber at that time,
00:07:29the price will be a million dollars.
00:07:31So we signed him for a million dollars a year.
00:07:35People were saying that Dr. Buster was crazy
00:07:37because at that time,
00:07:39that kind of money going around the NBA was just,
00:07:42yeah, it was crazy.
00:07:44Every owner in every league in America
00:07:48was upset at my father for starting this president.
00:07:51They were saying,
00:07:52you're about to ruin sports.
00:07:55What we wanted to do was work Magic into the front office
00:07:59after the basketball days are over.
00:08:01He said, I'm going to explain the Laker business to you.
00:08:06The real business.
00:08:07Took me through what season ticket holders mean,
00:08:10the TV contract means.
00:08:12He just became a father figure
00:08:14and a mentor all at the same time.
00:08:18Magic and I kind of feel that
00:08:20our fortunes will be tied together
00:08:21for the foreseeable future.
00:08:24And then all hell broke loose.
00:08:27Kareem was mad.
00:08:31Like, what?
00:08:32Wait a minute.
00:08:33Is he the player or is he management now?
00:08:37Kareem took it personally.
00:08:38He seemed absolutely upset.
00:08:40He referred to him as, in the headline,
00:08:42I think it was a spoiled child.
00:08:44If this guy's worth 25 million for 25 years,
00:08:47what am I worth kind of thing?
00:08:48He wasn't happy about it.
00:08:49This was a contract that gave you
00:08:51everything in the state of California,
00:08:54south of Ojai.
00:08:56Now, did Kareem, was it true
00:08:57that he went into Jerry Buss's office
00:08:59and said, what's the deal here?
00:09:00Well, he just wanted
00:09:02all the rest of California and Phoenix.
00:09:05I just understood it in terms of it being,
00:09:08um, he was a key employee.
00:09:11You want to keep him as long as you can.
00:09:13And, you know, I wasn't going to get jealous.
00:09:15They weren't going to give me 25 years.
00:09:19They wouldn't want to be paying me
00:09:21when I was 50.
00:09:25The contract certainly represented
00:09:27their closeness.
00:09:30And it raised the question of,
00:09:32is he one of us or one of them?
00:09:34Whew, man.
00:09:37It was like nobody liked me.
00:09:40Don't speak to him.
00:09:42Don't say nothing to him.
00:09:43We want to see what he's made of.
00:09:46All that, man.
00:09:47It's like I didn't have a friend in the world.
00:09:50Matter of fact, they had a meeting
00:09:52about it.
00:09:56And they came to me and said,
00:09:59Irvin, you know, it's an unwritten rule.
00:10:01You can't be close with the owner.
00:10:04And I said, well,
00:10:06I don't care about no unwritten rule.
00:10:08I'm going to be close with Dr. Buss.
00:10:11And you guys can't make me stop.
00:10:14If we're talking in the locker room
00:10:16or the shower,
00:10:17and, you know, we're talking about
00:10:18what players talk about off the record,
00:10:20is he going to go back
00:10:21and report it to management?
00:10:23You can't go out to dinner
00:10:24with the owner three nights in a row
00:10:25and then come sit in the locker room
00:10:26with everybody.
00:10:27Well, that's what Magic did.
00:10:29And everybody was like this.
00:10:32Now, wait a minute.
00:10:33I've never told Dr. Buss one story
00:10:38about any story that I heard
00:10:40on the bus, on the plane,
00:10:43in the locker room,
00:10:44and then when we're out
00:10:45at a nightclub party.
00:10:47I've never said anything to Dr. Buss
00:10:49about your life,
00:10:51my life, my private life.
00:10:53Never.
00:10:55Matter of fact, he's never asked me.
00:10:56Whether you're talking to the owner or not,
00:10:59it would be perceived that way.
00:11:01You know, that's a very thin line.
00:11:03And we walked out, I said,
00:11:05listen, man, I'm here to play basketball.
00:11:07I'm here to win.
00:11:08I didn't get involved
00:11:10in those kinds of discussions.
00:11:11They didn't ask me what I thought
00:11:12about what somebody should get paid.
00:11:14And so my thing was always about
00:11:16how do we keep this together?
00:11:24Coach Riley had been a player.
00:11:25He'd been in the booth.
00:11:26He had been around,
00:11:27so we all had a relationship with him.
00:11:29It wasn't like he was a stranger.
00:11:31Pat Riley came in,
00:11:33and he was like one of us.
00:11:35We'd hang out in bars
00:11:36after games and drink.
00:11:38He was just like one of the players.
00:11:40Well, I was with Kurt
00:11:41because he's an alcoholic.
00:11:45No, he wasn't.
00:11:48Now I'm a real coach, okay?
00:11:50Here's what coaches do.
00:11:51They stand up and they yell and scream,
00:11:53and they wave their arms
00:11:55all over the place,
00:11:56and they put fingers in the air,
00:11:57two up, one up, three up,
00:11:59whatever it is, fist up.
00:12:01And I can remember Magic one time
00:12:02looking over to me,
00:12:04and he just waved me off.
00:12:06I talked to him the next day of practice,
00:12:08and he said,
00:12:09Coach, we love you to death, man.
00:12:10He said,
00:12:12Could you just sit down?
00:12:14Just sit down a little bit.
00:12:15He said,
00:12:16I got this.
00:12:16We got this.
00:12:19After talking to Magic,
00:12:20I sat down too much,
00:12:22and then I wasn't doing anything,
00:12:23and then we had somewhat of a spell
00:12:25where we're losing.
00:12:26Dr. Bus called me in.
00:12:30He didn't talk about basketball or anything.
00:12:33He talked about his family,
00:12:34his background,
00:12:35where he's from,
00:12:36all this stuff.
00:12:36Asked about me.
00:12:38And then at the end,
00:12:39he said,
00:12:39Just coach.
00:12:40Just be a coach,
00:12:42you know,
00:12:42and don't worry about it.
00:12:44Don't be afraid of whatever.
00:12:45Go out there and coach.
00:12:46And now the starting lineup
00:12:48of the Los Angeles Lakers.
00:12:51The Lakers had a struggle last year.
00:12:53We lost our world championship,
00:12:56but we're going to get it back.
00:12:57Head coach, Pat Riley.
00:12:59Everybody loved him.
00:13:01Everybody loved the situation
00:13:02that he had brought to the team
00:13:04and the freedom
00:13:04that he kind of recreated.
00:13:07He opened up the gates again.
00:13:09Said, you know,
00:13:09we're going to run.
00:13:10I'm going to trust you guys.
00:13:11Right side, in deep.
00:13:13Bank of 10 is good.
00:13:14Having to ply your craft
00:13:15at the Forum in Los Angeles
00:13:17is a difficult task
00:13:18for any coach.
00:13:19After all,
00:13:20they're used to winners here
00:13:21and it's Hollywood,
00:13:22so you have to put on a show.
00:13:24How well has Pat Riley done?
00:13:25Well, the record speaks for itself.
00:13:28We started playing happy again.
00:13:29We got back into our system
00:13:31and playing the style of play
00:13:32that we played in 1980.
00:13:36I signed as a free agent
00:13:37with the Lakers in 1981
00:13:39and I got hurt
00:13:40like the end of December
00:13:42of my first year.
00:13:43Left side to Magic,
00:13:44down the middle of the Cup Jack.
00:13:45Cup Jack runs over
00:13:46a man charging.
00:13:46Cup Jack hurt!
00:13:47Joe Jellybean Bryant
00:13:49steps in front of me
00:13:50to draw a charge
00:13:50and I planted my left foot
00:13:52to try to stop.
00:13:55You know,
00:13:55I never felt anything like that
00:13:56so I knew something
00:13:57was really wrong
00:13:58and I missed close to two years.
00:14:00What's it feel like
00:14:01to have to spend
00:14:01Christmas Day in a hospital?
00:14:03Well, it's not the best
00:14:04possible situation
00:14:05for me to be in
00:14:06but it was a way
00:14:08for me to get my parents
00:14:09to stay out here
00:14:09for a couple extra days.
00:14:11Dr. Bush stood by me
00:14:12when I got injured
00:14:13and only that
00:14:14he hired me
00:14:15as a scout.
00:14:17Mitch Kupchak
00:14:18tore his knee up
00:14:19and they needed
00:14:20another
00:14:21Powell Ford type
00:14:23slash center
00:14:24and I was out there.
00:14:26On Christmas Eve 1981,
00:14:28Bob McAdoo
00:14:29was asked to sign up
00:14:30with the L.A. Lakers.
00:14:31McAdoo was the league's
00:14:32most valuable player
00:14:33in 1975.
00:14:34The league's scoring champ
00:14:35three times
00:14:36and he owns a career scoring
00:14:37average of 26.4 points
00:14:39per game.
00:14:40I had done everything
00:14:41individually
00:14:42that a player could do
00:14:44in the league.
00:14:44I needed a championship.
00:14:46Great defense by McAdoo
00:14:48from the corner.
00:14:49That power forward.
00:14:50There's Bob McAdoo,
00:14:51the former MVP,
00:14:52former scoring leader
00:14:53and he's there
00:14:54for one reason,
00:14:55he wants a ring
00:14:56and then you got
00:14:57Kurt Rambis
00:14:57and he was just there
00:14:58because he wanted
00:14:59to play basketball.
00:15:01We were in Indiana.
00:15:03I'm a rookie,
00:15:03I'm not playing,
00:15:04I'm just hanging out
00:15:05watching the game
00:15:06and stuff like that
00:15:07and Riley points down
00:15:09at the end of the bench
00:15:10and goes,
00:15:10you,
00:15:11yeah, you,
00:15:14get in
00:15:14and I went in
00:15:16and focused on defense
00:15:18and rebounding
00:15:19and I did a good job
00:15:20and ended up starting
00:15:21the rest of the year.
00:15:22Starting at forward
00:15:23in his first year
00:15:24from Santa Clara,
00:15:25number 31,
00:15:26Kurt Rambis.
00:15:28They've shot to the lead
00:15:29of the Pacific Division
00:15:30in just two months.
00:15:32The brand of basketball
00:15:33is exciting.
00:15:34Whatever the Lakers
00:15:35didn't do for Westhead,
00:15:36they're doing now
00:15:37for their new head coach.
00:15:39I'll never forget the day
00:15:40I said,
00:15:40hey, Riles,
00:15:41and he stopped me
00:15:42and he said,
00:15:43you gotta start calling me coach.
00:15:46I'm coach now.
00:15:49We saw him transform
00:15:50and take on
00:15:52that leadership role.
00:15:54That's when he went
00:15:55with the haircuts
00:15:56and the suits
00:15:56and everything
00:15:57and he started looking
00:15:58more like a Mafia Don
00:15:59than a basketball coach.
00:16:02Riley's look
00:16:03was so iconic
00:16:04that multiple people
00:16:06stole it from movies.
00:16:08Kurt Russell steals
00:16:09Pat's look.
00:16:11Michael Douglas
00:16:11steals Pat's look.
00:16:14Before that,
00:16:15he looked like a hippie.
00:16:17And I don't mean
00:16:17that disrespectfully,
00:16:18I mean that respectfully.
00:16:21The money was different,
00:16:22he can afford suits now.
00:16:24You know,
00:16:24he was the coach
00:16:25of Showtime Lakers.
00:16:28He's been handed
00:16:29a championship team
00:16:30and all he has to do
00:16:32is just get on the backs
00:16:33and ride it.
00:16:35He was like a cowboy
00:16:36who turned his horse loose
00:16:38and let him romp
00:16:38through the meadows.
00:16:39They got their game back,
00:16:40they got their ability
00:16:41to do the fast break back,
00:16:42they got Showtime back,
00:16:43so they were just thrilled
00:16:45to play for him.
00:16:46to play for him.
00:16:48And he was like,
00:16:49I don't know how to do it.
00:16:4982,
00:16:50we were representing
00:16:51the Eastern Conference.
00:16:53Again.
00:16:54I'm not going to say
00:16:55that we were overconfident,
00:16:57underconfident,
00:16:58or anything.
00:16:59We just know that,
00:17:00you know,
00:17:01we were trying
00:17:02to climb a mountain.
00:17:03Welcome to Game 1
00:17:05of the NBA World Championship Series,
00:17:07the Lakers
00:17:08against the 76ers.
00:17:10And it promises perhaps
00:17:11to be the fastest-paced
00:17:13championship series
00:17:14of all time.
00:17:15Jerry,
00:17:16no man in the history
00:17:17of sports
00:17:18has ever purchased
00:17:18a franchise
00:17:19and reached
00:17:19the championship round
00:17:21two out of three years.
00:17:22That pleases me very well.
00:17:24Now we've just
00:17:25got to win a ticket.
00:17:26Well, you've got
00:17:26the ingredients to win it.
00:17:27I think that you'll
00:17:28have to say that.
00:17:28In 1982,
00:17:30the Lakers
00:17:30and the 76ers
00:17:31met again,
00:17:32and this time,
00:17:34I didn't see it
00:17:34as an even match.
00:17:35This is a lightning-fast team.
00:17:37Maybe the best
00:17:37pass-break team
00:17:38of all time.
00:17:39I'm talking about
00:17:40the Lakers.
00:17:40Rambus to Nixon.
00:17:41Over the shoulder,
00:17:42pass to Rambus.
00:17:42Under the left.
00:17:43Spar.
00:17:44It was still a tough series
00:17:45to win six games,
00:17:46but you never had the feeling
00:17:47they were going to lose.
00:17:48Team number six.
00:17:50Lakers lead
00:17:51three games to two.
00:17:53All the press
00:17:54was Julius Ervin
00:17:55getting a championship.
00:17:58And I said to myself,
00:17:59he'll get this
00:17:59over my dead body.
00:18:00and I met him.
00:18:05He's probably
00:18:06very hungry
00:18:06for a title,
00:18:09so we gave
00:18:10Bob McAdoo
00:18:11his appropriate respect.
00:18:13The other end
00:18:15is Ervin.
00:18:15Here comes a long pass.
00:18:16He's got it.
00:18:17He's underneath.
00:18:18He has it blocked
00:18:19by McAdoo
00:18:19from behind.
00:18:21McAdoo blocked
00:18:21the shot to Cooper
00:18:22to Wilk.
00:18:23Wilk all the way
00:18:24to Kareem.
00:18:25Slammed up.
00:18:25Brown just
00:18:28broke that thing
00:18:30to a championship, man.
00:18:31three, two, one.
00:18:34The Lakers
00:18:35are the world champions.
00:18:50Pat, Pat,
00:18:51congratulations.
00:18:52Fantastic job.
00:18:53I'll tell you what,
00:18:54Brandon.
00:18:54The players deserve
00:18:55all the credit
00:18:56because they're
00:18:57the ones that play.
00:18:58They trusted me
00:18:59early in the season
00:19:00when I didn't know
00:19:00what I was doing
00:19:01and we've come a long way.
00:19:03When did this team
00:19:04start to believe
00:19:04in your leadership?
00:19:06Well, I just think
00:19:07they believed
00:19:07in themselves.
00:19:08I was out there
00:19:09just sort of
00:19:09throwing a little bit
00:19:10at him.
00:19:11Right here.
00:19:13Doing it.
00:19:13Thank you, Brandon.
00:19:14Thank you, Chris.
00:19:15Thank you, everyone.
00:19:15Congratulations.
00:19:16Let's grab it.
00:19:17The Lakers
00:19:17have won two
00:19:18of the last three,
00:19:19so, Larry,
00:19:19make the presentation
00:19:20to Jerry Buss
00:19:21here in the big day.
00:19:24Larry, I'm going
00:19:25to accept this trophy
00:19:27on behalf of the fans
00:19:29of the Lakers.
00:19:31I know there are
00:19:32millions and millions
00:19:34and millions of fans
00:19:36who watch this game
00:19:37tonight,
00:19:38and wherever you are,
00:19:39I want you to know
00:19:40the team won it
00:19:42for you,
00:19:43the fans.
00:19:44Thank you very much.
00:19:50being able to win
00:19:55two championships
00:19:56in three years
00:19:57is really gratifying
00:19:58to see the whole city
00:20:00come together.
00:20:02Spanish language theater
00:20:03downtown is congratulating
00:20:06us in Spanish,
00:20:08Chinatown,
00:20:09all the different
00:20:10ethnic enclaves.
00:20:12They all seem to be
00:20:14Laker fans.
00:20:14L.A. is a city
00:20:19where, you know,
00:20:21as Wu-Tang would say,
00:20:22form like Voltron,
00:20:23right?
00:20:24I mean,
00:20:25so you have, like,
00:20:26all these different cities,
00:20:27different communities,
00:20:28different areas
00:20:29that are, in many ways,
00:20:31their own unique entity.
00:20:34What the Lakers do is,
00:20:36with their success,
00:20:37they're able to help
00:20:39create a more cohesive
00:20:41sense of the city.
00:20:44when I moved to L.A.,
00:20:47my high school
00:20:48was like a third white,
00:20:49third black,
00:20:50third Latino,
00:20:5110% Asian,
00:20:52and everyone had
00:20:53different music they liked,
00:20:54but everybody loved
00:20:56Earth, Wind & Fire,
00:20:56so the music was
00:20:57transcendent.
00:20:58And with basketball
00:21:00and with the Lakers,
00:21:01it felt the same way.
00:21:03That gave me that feeling.
00:21:05We wanted to put on a show,
00:21:06we wanted to entertain
00:21:07the people,
00:21:08we wanted it to be
00:21:09very indigenous
00:21:10to Los Angeles.
00:21:12And the Lakers
00:21:13do have the personality
00:21:14of Los Angeles.
00:21:16Oh, yeah, it's real,
00:21:17it'll come off.
00:21:18I would figure,
00:21:18well, the Lakers
00:21:19can't win championships
00:21:20forever,
00:21:20but I can keep
00:21:21their memories
00:21:21on my own forever.
00:21:25You know,
00:21:26when you're here in L.A.
00:21:27and you want to
00:21:27entertain yourself,
00:21:28you'll go to a concert,
00:21:29you'll go to a Dodger game,
00:21:31you'll go to the racetracks.
00:21:32What he loves
00:21:33is that all the people
00:21:34that he's admired
00:21:35all his life,
00:21:36when they want to
00:21:36entertain themselves,
00:21:37they come here to the farm.
00:21:38Jerry Buss not only
00:21:39bought himself
00:21:40some well-known numbers,
00:21:41he bought some fancy company.
00:21:44The forum may be
00:21:45in Inglewood,
00:21:46and the team names
00:21:47may say Los Angeles,
00:21:48but some nights
00:21:49it's all Hollywood.
00:21:51Laker games were known
00:21:53to have celebrities.
00:21:54And not just a game
00:21:56every now and then,
00:21:57they were out all the time.
00:21:59They may have been
00:21:59stars in Hollywood,
00:22:00but for two hours,
00:22:02they were Laker fans,
00:22:03pure and simple.
00:22:04What'd they say?
00:22:05Celebrities watching celebrities.
00:22:06The NBA bought into it, too,
00:22:11because here you are,
00:22:12you got a team
00:22:13that's in Hollywood
00:22:13and all these big stars
00:22:15at the game,
00:22:15and this team played
00:22:16this fast-paced kind of game.
00:22:18It fit the whole narrative.
00:22:20You know,
00:22:20what he was trying to create,
00:22:22his persona.
00:22:24He was made for it, you know.
00:22:25I mean, he was the ringleader,
00:22:27and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
00:22:29And we watched him enjoy it,
00:22:31and we enjoyed watching him enjoy it,
00:22:32you know what I mean?
00:22:34And he enjoyed watching us enjoy it.
00:22:36I mean, it was that kind of thing.
00:22:38He became
00:22:38this overnight celebrity.
00:22:45And then he created
00:22:46the Forum Club.
00:22:48I gotta have a spot
00:22:50after the game
00:22:51that everybody wanna get in.
00:22:54I'm gonna create
00:22:55the Forum Club.
00:22:58He was going to games every night,
00:23:00so instead of saying,
00:23:01hey, tonight we're going
00:23:02out to this restaurant
00:23:03or out to this club,
00:23:05it was now
00:23:06at the Forum.
00:23:08All those people
00:23:08you saw on the floor,
00:23:10they would be in the Forum Club
00:23:11after the game.
00:23:12That was the place to be.
00:23:14You know,
00:23:14I was upset when I missed it,
00:23:15you know.
00:23:17My dad would take
00:23:18the center table
00:23:19that everybody could see
00:23:21if they walked by,
00:23:22and he made sure
00:23:23that his table
00:23:24was full of celebrities.
00:23:26It was like the Roman Empire.
00:23:27OK, you'd walk in to the left,
00:23:30and there was a big dinner.
00:23:31I got so many calls
00:23:33from so many athletes,
00:23:35celebrities.
00:23:36Hey, you think you can
00:23:37talk to Dr. Bust
00:23:38that I can sit
00:23:39at his table
00:23:40for dinner?
00:23:42We didn't have curfew
00:23:43in any other city
00:23:44except L.A.,
00:23:45and for good reason.
00:23:48You hurry up,
00:23:49took a shower,
00:23:50and you went up
00:23:50the back stairways
00:23:51to the Forum Club.
00:23:53I probably did
00:23:54the fastest shower
00:23:55I've ever took.
00:23:56I think I got my hand wet.
00:23:58You walk in,
00:23:59and there's every color girl.
00:24:02There's, I mean, fine.
00:24:05It was not a ugly soul
00:24:07in the whole spot.
00:24:10Forum Club was
00:24:10a magnificent place.
00:24:12That's the second best place
00:24:14on earth to be
00:24:15other than the Playboy Mansion.
00:24:18I was married at the time,
00:24:19so the only time
00:24:20I went through
00:24:20the Forum Club
00:24:21was with my wife
00:24:21in my hand,
00:24:22and I always kept
00:24:23my blinders on.
00:24:25So I was just looking
00:24:26straight ahead.
00:24:27I knew I'd hear about it.
00:24:29When you look at
00:24:30our team back then,
00:24:32everybody was married,
00:24:34except for being magic.
00:24:36One time,
00:24:37I was just sitting there,
00:24:38and a player came out
00:24:40of this office closet area
00:24:42with a woman,
00:24:43a little disheveled,
00:24:44and the player said,
00:24:47wow, that was great.
00:24:48one night I'd like
00:24:50to be single.
00:24:53Was cocaine all up
00:24:55in the Forum Club,
00:24:55to your knowledge?
00:24:57There was the Forum Club,
00:24:58and then there was
00:25:02the Press Lounge.
00:25:03The real action
00:25:04went on in the Press Lounge,
00:25:05to be truthful.
00:25:07There was a guy,
00:25:08and I was always very happy
00:25:09that he was there.
00:25:10Oh, well,
00:25:12one thing I can tell you
00:25:13for sure wasn't me.
00:25:16The Lakers,
00:25:17the Kings,
00:25:18the Forum,
00:25:19you know,
00:25:19the family,
00:25:20everything's going right.
00:25:22Our lives
00:25:22had totally changed.
00:25:27Selling tickets,
00:25:28that was just
00:25:29to gain
00:25:30the first experience.
00:25:32Then he would try
00:25:33to find a place
00:25:34for you
00:25:35that would fit
00:25:36your personality.
00:25:37He wanted to be
00:25:38just like the Kennedys,
00:25:40you know,
00:25:40and he wanted to see
00:25:42his children
00:25:44take over the business.
00:25:47At some time
00:25:48in the future,
00:25:49I will retire,
00:25:51and I would like
00:25:53to continue
00:25:54to operate
00:25:54the Forum
00:25:55as a family business,
00:25:56but they're going
00:25:57to need experience
00:25:58in order to direct
00:25:59something the size
00:26:01of the Forum
00:26:01and the Lakers
00:26:02and the Kings.
00:26:03So I want to
00:26:06introduce you
00:26:07to a 19-year-old
00:26:08general manager
00:26:08of the Los Angeles Strength,
00:26:10Jeannie Buss.
00:26:10She's the daughter
00:26:11of Forum
00:26:11Kings Lakers
00:26:13owner Jerry Buss.
00:26:14And Jeannie,
00:26:15you're going to be
00:26:16a junior at USC
00:26:17majoring in business
00:26:17administration,
00:26:18so let me ask you
00:26:19a business or finance
00:26:19question.
00:26:20How has Team Tennis
00:26:21gone financially
00:26:21this year?
00:26:22It's going pretty well.
00:26:23I stand to lose
00:26:24a little bit,
00:26:25but not as much
00:26:26as my dad lost
00:26:27in the first time
00:26:28with Team Tennis.
00:26:29Martina is playing
00:26:30Billy Jean.
00:26:30Prior to my dad
00:26:31buying the Lakers,
00:26:32he owned a team
00:26:34in World Team Tennis.
00:26:37When he asked
00:26:38if I wanted
00:26:39to run the team,
00:26:40I was like,
00:26:41of course, yes,
00:26:42yeah.
00:26:43And I said,
00:26:43this is great,
00:26:44now I can quit school.
00:26:46And he said,
00:26:47no, no, no, no, no.
00:26:48It's like,
00:26:49you have to go to school
00:26:50and you can have the job.
00:26:52But if you,
00:26:53you can't take the job
00:26:54and quit school.
00:26:57Jerry believed
00:26:58that you should
00:26:59throw people
00:27:00into the pool
00:27:02and if they can swim,
00:27:04they survive.
00:27:06And I felt
00:27:08sorry for them
00:27:11because they were
00:27:12thrown into things
00:27:14that they didn't
00:27:16understand.
00:27:17my dad called me
00:27:22and he says,
00:27:23you know,
00:27:24the funniest thing
00:27:25happened,
00:27:25I get a call
00:27:26from the MISL,
00:27:28which is Major
00:27:29Indoor Soccer League,
00:27:30and they want us
00:27:33to field a team
00:27:34in Los Angeles.
00:27:35This is son,
00:27:36John Buss.
00:27:37He's the president
00:27:38of the Los Angeles
00:27:39Lasers,
00:27:40an indoor soccer team.
00:27:41My dad said,
00:27:42Johnny,
00:27:42you take over
00:27:43the lasers,
00:27:44you do what needs
00:27:45to be done.
00:27:46And I rarely,
00:27:47maybe once or twice
00:27:48a year,
00:27:49ever talk to him
00:27:49about the business
00:27:51of the indoor soccer league.
00:27:54Johnny's the oldest
00:27:55and there were
00:27:57a lot of probably
00:27:58pressures that
00:28:00I can't relate to.
00:28:02My dad kind of
00:28:03threw them
00:28:04into the fire
00:28:04because that's
00:28:05the only way
00:28:06you're going to learn.
00:28:07But what is it
00:28:08besides cheering
00:28:09that a general manager
00:28:10does?
00:28:10During the season,
00:28:11Jeannie's here every day
00:28:12keeping track
00:28:13of what's happening
00:28:14in tennis
00:28:14because after all,
00:28:16she will want to draft
00:28:17the best players
00:28:18available,
00:28:19a trait she hope
00:28:20runs in the family.
00:28:21Right after we decided
00:28:23that she would run
00:28:23the franchise,
00:28:24the draft came up.
00:28:27She brought in
00:28:28a sheet of paper
00:28:29with all of the names
00:28:30and said,
00:28:30well, let's draft
00:28:31the team.
00:28:32He looked at the list
00:28:33and then looked at me
00:28:34and he said,
00:28:35I want you to do it.
00:28:36And she said,
00:28:37well, I thought you'd
00:28:38give me some suggestions.
00:28:39He said,
00:28:39I want you to have
00:28:40the responsibility.
00:28:41I want you to know
00:28:42what it feels like
00:28:43when people say,
00:28:44what have you done?
00:28:45What have you picked?
00:28:46I want you to get
00:28:47the blame
00:28:47or to get the recognition.
00:28:49Let's make no mistake
00:28:50about it.
00:28:50It's your team.
00:28:51It's your ball game
00:28:52and it's up to you.
00:28:54This was grooming
00:28:55for what he wanted
00:28:58us to do
00:28:59and that was
00:28:59to be involved
00:29:00in a family business.
00:29:03It was John
00:29:04does the lasers,
00:29:06Jeannie does the strings.
00:29:07And so at the forum,
00:29:09my dad had it pretty much
00:29:10running like a machine
00:29:11and it wasn't,
00:29:12I was part of the machine
00:29:14but not an intricate part
00:29:16of the machine.
00:29:17But never did I say,
00:29:18well, gosh,
00:29:19it would be nice
00:29:19if I had a team
00:29:20or something like that.
00:29:21No.
00:29:21I could see jealousy
00:29:26between, well, all of us.
00:29:30I mean, I think we were all,
00:29:31well, I know I was
00:29:33a bit jealous of Jeannie
00:29:34but she's older than me
00:29:36so she got the opportunity
00:29:38before I got a chance
00:29:40to do something.
00:29:41Jeannie's jealous of
00:29:43that Jeannie did this
00:29:44or Jimmy's jealous of Jeannie
00:29:46and Jeannie's jealous of me
00:29:47and, you know,
00:29:49it was that jealousy
00:29:50kind of thing.
00:29:50They might have been,
00:29:51you know,
00:29:53intimidated by my ambition
00:29:55but it was more the media
00:29:58that I got the center stage,
00:30:01that I got the spotlight.
00:30:03I got a lot of attention
00:30:05because I was a woman
00:30:07in a traditionally,
00:30:09you know, male sports world
00:30:11and, you know,
00:30:13that probably was frustrating
00:30:15for them
00:30:16but that I couldn't help.
00:30:18What's the future?
00:30:19What do you really want to do?
00:30:21Hope to replace your father
00:30:22at the top?
00:30:23Yeah.
00:30:24I've already told him that.
00:30:25He knows that.
00:30:26I think he's kind of surprised
00:30:29that his daughter
00:30:31would be saying that
00:30:32and really wanting
00:30:33to fill his shoes
00:30:34but I think someday
00:30:36I could do it.
00:30:37What about the idea
00:30:38that there's been just
00:30:39too much too soon
00:30:41for Jeannie?
00:30:41Oh, certainly
00:30:42there's that possibility
00:30:43and I think
00:30:46any conscionable father
00:30:48would think of that.
00:30:51On the other hand,
00:30:53sooner or later
00:30:54she's going to have
00:30:54to come to grips with that.
00:30:56that's when he said,
00:31:00Jeannie,
00:31:00I want you to meet
00:31:01Linda Zafroni.
00:31:03I was working for Playboy
00:31:06and Dr. Buss
00:31:07was dating my little sister
00:31:08who was also working
00:31:10for Playboy.
00:31:12Dr. Buss was on
00:31:13to the next young beauty
00:31:15and my sister
00:31:17was devastated
00:31:18so I called Dr. Buss up
00:31:20and I said,
00:31:21I don't think it's fair
00:31:22what you did to Debbie
00:31:23and I think you should
00:31:24marry her.
00:31:25He's like,
00:31:26I'm not going to marry her
00:31:28but I appreciate
00:31:29how you stuck up for her
00:31:32and I wonder
00:31:33would you consider
00:31:34working for me?
00:31:36My dad said,
00:31:38I want you and Linda
00:31:39to work together.
00:31:41As he explained it,
00:31:42Linda's got
00:31:43that street smart toughness
00:31:46that I think
00:31:48you need.
00:31:50He wanted someone
00:31:51that he thought
00:31:52she could trust
00:31:53to help facilitate
00:31:54her ability
00:31:55to do both things,
00:31:56go to school
00:31:57and work.
00:32:00And even though
00:32:00she had older brothers,
00:32:03she was the front-facing person
00:32:05so she had added stress.
00:32:07in 1982,
00:32:15there was another
00:32:16big coin flip.
00:32:17It was the Lakers
00:32:17against the Clippers.
00:32:18The Lakers had the pick
00:32:19because they had traded
00:32:21Don Ford to Cleveland
00:32:22and then Cleveland
00:32:22finished last.
00:32:24What do you guys feel
00:32:25here?
00:32:25You win the championship,
00:32:26you're the best team
00:32:27in the NBA
00:32:27and you get
00:32:28the number one draft pick.
00:32:29Well,
00:32:30I feel that
00:32:32every championship team
00:32:33and the reason
00:32:34that you don't repeat
00:32:35because you don't get better.
00:32:37But this year
00:32:38we'll get a little better
00:32:39with this first choice
00:32:40and it might help us
00:32:41for next season.
00:32:43Rich get richer?
00:32:44Yeah,
00:32:45so to speak,
00:32:45the rich gets richer.
00:32:49For the first pick,
00:32:52Cleveland to Los Angeles,
00:32:54Los Angeles.
00:32:54Los Angeles.
00:32:55Los Angeles.
00:32:55Los Angeles.
00:32:59He's 6'9",
00:33:03225 pounds
00:33:05from North Carolina.
00:33:06James Worthy.
00:33:08Worthy helped lead
00:33:09the Tar Heels
00:33:10to the NCAA championship
00:33:11this past season
00:33:12as a junior.
00:33:14He chose to give up
00:33:14his final year
00:33:15of college eligibility
00:33:16and made himself available
00:33:18for the NBA draft.
00:33:20And you have added
00:33:21more excitement
00:33:22to a stable
00:33:22that is already
00:33:23plenty exciting.
00:33:24James Worthy.
00:33:25It didn't take you long
00:33:26to make that selection,
00:33:27Dr. Buss.
00:33:28It took us a lot
00:33:29of thought, though.
00:33:29Quite honestly, Eddie,
00:33:31we were very torn
00:33:32between the three
00:33:33top people.
00:33:34They're all so good.
00:33:35I mean, usually
00:33:36this doesn't happen.
00:33:37Usually there's
00:33:37one or two outstanding,
00:33:38but three outstanding players.
00:33:40We spent a lot of time
00:33:41and I guess about
00:33:43a week or ten days ago
00:33:44we came to the conclusion
00:33:45it had to be James Worthy.
00:33:46Now you have.
00:33:47Do you feel
00:33:48with the success
00:33:49that they've already got
00:33:49that you'll be able
00:33:50to get into that starting
00:33:51lineup right off the top?
00:33:53That's not one
00:33:53of my main objectives.
00:33:54I just want to come
00:33:55and learn.
00:33:57I think it'll be
00:33:57a learning experience for me.
00:33:58I was a pretty good player
00:34:00coming out of college
00:34:01and so I was
00:34:02not arrogant
00:34:03but I was very confident.
00:34:05I thought I could start.
00:34:08The first week
00:34:09of training camp
00:34:11I would walk
00:34:11into the gym
00:34:12and I would look around
00:34:13and I would say,
00:34:14okay, there's Kareem,
00:34:17Jamal Wilkes,
00:34:20Norm Nixon,
00:34:21there's magic.
00:34:24But then I saw
00:34:25Kurt Rambis.
00:34:27Kurt Rambis had these
00:34:28thick glasses on
00:34:30like he looked like
00:34:31a science professor
00:34:32and I said,
00:34:34I can get that spot.
00:34:35my hair,
00:34:37my mustache,
00:34:38the glasses,
00:34:40it just kind of made me
00:34:41look like a normal person
00:34:43walking down the street
00:34:44and not the guy
00:34:45that was starting
00:34:46for the Lakers.
00:34:47But I could not believe
00:34:49they were bringing
00:34:50somebody in
00:34:50to take my job.
00:34:52So I did everything
00:34:54I possibly could
00:34:55to let him know
00:34:56if you're going
00:34:57to take my job,
00:34:58you got your work
00:34:59cut out for you.
00:35:00That first week,
00:35:02every time I got
00:35:03within his area
00:35:04where he operated,
00:35:05Kurt Rambis
00:35:06kicked my ass
00:35:07like a rag doll.
00:35:12That makes me feel
00:35:13good right now.
00:35:15That was my intention.
00:35:17So I humbly
00:35:18had to sit on the bench.
00:35:21It was a lesson
00:35:22in patience
00:35:23when you're playing
00:35:25with a team
00:35:26that really doesn't
00:35:27need you right now.
00:35:30Jerry, things are really
00:35:31on the uptick
00:35:32in the NBA
00:35:32and I think the Lakers
00:35:33are sitting right up on top.
00:35:35You've got a very
00:35:35exciting ball club
00:35:36and I see that things
00:35:37are going to continue.
00:35:38We have a tremendous
00:35:39amount of excitement
00:35:40out in Los Angeles
00:35:41and I think across
00:35:42the country.
00:35:43As more of the
00:35:44exciting players
00:35:44come into the NBA,
00:35:46I think there's going
00:35:46to be a terrific upswing.
00:35:49My dad always kept
00:35:51his eye on the business.
00:35:53This wasn't just
00:35:54a play thing
00:35:55and he got lucky.
00:35:57He wanted his team
00:35:58to always be competitive.
00:36:01The 76ers in 1983
00:36:03had Dr. J
00:36:04and they had
00:36:05Moses Ballone
00:36:06and they had great
00:36:07defenders like Bobby Jones.
00:36:09They were the real deal.
00:36:10We beat them in 80,
00:36:11we beat them in 82.
00:36:13They were ready for theirs.
00:36:16Win, lose, or draw.
00:36:17This doesn't define
00:36:19who I am.
00:36:20Basketball is what I do,
00:36:23not what I am.
00:36:25and as much as I used
00:36:27to tell myself that,
00:36:29you know,
00:36:29I realized that
00:36:30everybody didn't think
00:36:32that way.
00:36:33And so it was a relief,
00:36:35you know, in 83
00:36:36when we finally got over
00:36:38the hump
00:36:39and beat them.
00:36:41Here he comes.
00:36:42We'll use up the clock.
00:36:46I had known
00:36:46they were going to be the ones
00:36:47who were being told.
00:36:48Injuries,
00:36:49the injuries killed us.
00:36:52It was just too much firepower
00:36:53gone.
00:36:54if me,
00:36:58James Worthy,
00:36:59and Norm Nixon
00:37:00were healthy,
00:37:01no way they would beat us.
00:37:03It wasn't our fault
00:37:03you were injured.
00:37:05And next man up
00:37:07has got to do his job
00:37:07or whatever.
00:37:09So I don't think
00:37:10when you beat a team
00:37:12four straight times
00:37:13that they can say
00:37:15they were the better team.
00:37:18That doesn't make sense.
00:37:19That's delusional behavior.
00:37:21My hat's off to the victors
00:37:23and this is what it's all about.
00:37:25The winning,
00:37:25the losing,
00:37:26the struggle.
00:37:27It's great.
00:37:29I would have much rather
00:37:29been on the other end
00:37:30of this thing tonight
00:37:31but I'm going to raise
00:37:32my glass to them
00:37:34too tonight.
00:37:36Nice to know.
00:37:40Funny,
00:37:40you know what he said to me?
00:37:41He says,
00:37:42got those skeletons
00:37:43removed from the closet,
00:37:44huh?
00:37:46I said,
00:37:46yeah, Pat.
00:37:47They're gone.
00:37:49Why does it seem
00:37:50to be impossible
00:37:51to repeat
00:37:52championships?
00:37:53in that league
00:37:54because the teams
00:37:55you beat get better.
00:37:56Yeah, yeah.
00:37:57Like we beat Philly,
00:37:58they went out
00:37:59and got Moses.
00:38:00So,
00:38:01so,
00:38:02they beat us
00:38:03and I don't know
00:38:04what might happen.
00:38:05We,
00:38:05we might get
00:38:06a good playoff.
00:38:07When you do lose,
00:38:07there are some things
00:38:08that start happening.
00:38:09You know,
00:38:10you're always going
00:38:10to have scapegoats
00:38:12and,
00:38:12you know,
00:38:13like it was Kareem's fault,
00:38:14it was this one's fault.
00:38:16This guy's negative
00:38:17in the locker room.
00:38:18This guy's doing this.
00:38:20Sometimes you make
00:38:21subtle changes
00:38:22entertain.
00:38:23We needed someone
00:38:24bigger out there
00:38:25and I didn't think
00:38:26no one was a great
00:38:27compliment to Magic Johnson.
00:38:29Jerry had come
00:38:29and I was laughing
00:38:30about it.
00:38:30He said,
00:38:30I'll never trade you.
00:38:31I said,
00:38:32that's a kiss of death
00:38:33like the Italians.
00:38:36I said,
00:38:36I'm out of here now.
00:38:37I told my brother,
00:38:38I said,
00:38:38I'm gone.
00:38:39I'm originally
00:38:42from Englewood,
00:38:43California
00:38:43and been here
00:38:45all my life.
00:38:46You know,
00:38:46so Englewood is home.
00:38:47That's where I was raised.
00:38:49You know,
00:38:49so when I get a call
00:38:50from Jerry West
00:38:50saying that we're
00:38:51going to make
00:38:51a trade for you today,
00:38:52I almost fell out,
00:38:53you know,
00:38:54fell out my bed.
00:38:56Getting one of the
00:38:56best prospects
00:38:57in the draft,
00:38:58that was exciting
00:38:59for me.
00:39:00And also,
00:39:02the three-point line
00:39:03had become
00:39:03in vogue then
00:39:04and that was his
00:39:06specialty
00:39:06when he first started out.
00:39:07Jerry West said,
00:39:09you know,
00:39:09we're going to win
00:39:09more championships
00:39:10with you
00:39:11than we ever
00:39:11would have
00:39:11with Norm.
00:39:14Magic,
00:39:14myself and Norm,
00:39:16we were the trio.
00:39:17We always talked
00:39:18about we had
00:39:18the best three-guard
00:39:19combo in the league.
00:39:20So when they
00:39:21pulled that trade off,
00:39:22it hurt a lot.
00:39:24All three of us
00:39:25had a real bond
00:39:26out on the basketball
00:39:27court.
00:39:28And so,
00:39:29when he got traded,
00:39:33you know,
00:39:33that was a tough
00:39:35moment for me.
00:39:36People were
00:39:37mad,
00:39:38they were incensed,
00:39:39and mourning.
00:39:42Jack Nicholson,
00:39:43he wore black
00:39:43for three games.
00:39:44I said,
00:39:44what the hell
00:39:45is this all about?
00:39:46He said,
00:39:46that's the dumbest
00:39:47trade I've ever seen.
00:39:49Well,
00:39:49he wears all black
00:39:50a lot,
00:39:50so maybe he's
00:39:52always in mourning.
00:39:53But I'm a fan
00:39:54of the Lakers
00:39:55and I respect players.
00:39:57But these guys
00:39:58were my friends.
00:39:59And to this day,
00:40:00I wish they hadn't
00:40:01traded Norman.
00:40:03Jack and Lou,
00:40:04they were fans
00:40:05and they know the game.
00:40:05and they knew me
00:40:06on a personal level.
00:40:08They knew me very well
00:40:09on a personal level.
00:40:10They didn't want
00:40:10to see me go
00:40:11and they didn't like
00:40:11what happened.
00:40:13That was a difficult time.
00:40:14Probably the first time
00:40:15in my life,
00:40:16I went home
00:40:16and I said to myself,
00:40:19is this going to work
00:40:21like I hope it works?
00:40:24Jerry West makes this trade,
00:40:25brings in this unproven rookie,
00:40:27you know,
00:40:28so they had to test me.
00:40:29We gave him
00:40:29the cold shoulder.
00:40:31We, uh,
00:40:33fucked with him.
00:40:34I didn't know then
00:40:34that that meant,
00:40:35yeah, we're going to
00:40:35try to kick your ass.
00:40:38Every day in practice,
00:40:39we're going to go at you.
00:40:40We wanted to see
00:40:41if he could weather the storm.
00:40:42That went on for about
00:40:43four or five days
00:40:44to a week.
00:40:45And then I just told him,
00:40:46I said, listen,
00:40:46next one of y'all throw
00:40:47your elbow,
00:40:47I'm punching this shit
00:40:48out of you.
00:40:49I said, I'm just letting
00:40:50you know I'm tired
00:40:51of this shit.
00:40:52And that was it.
00:40:52And they was like,
00:40:53okay, all right,
00:40:54this kid got some balls,
00:40:55he's tough.
00:40:58From that point on,
00:40:59me, Magic, and Coop
00:40:59went everywhere together.
00:41:03Byron,
00:41:03and as I call him,
00:41:04B,
00:41:05we always knew
00:41:06that if we were going
00:41:08to win a championship,
00:41:10he was going to
00:41:10play a key role.
00:41:19The Lakers
00:41:19and the Celtics.
00:41:21So many memories,
00:41:22so many golden moments.
00:41:25The Celtics and Bill Russell
00:41:26always winning
00:41:27when they met
00:41:28for the championship.
00:41:29But the Lakers,
00:41:30Jerry West,
00:41:31always magnificent
00:41:32in defeat.
00:41:33Now we are ready
00:41:34to start again.
00:41:35How obsessed with winning
00:41:36did your father become
00:41:37in 84 and 85
00:41:38during the Lakers-Celtics robbery?
00:41:42He reminded me
00:41:44of any big sports fan.
00:41:48You know,
00:41:48it was the pinnacle
00:41:49of sports,
00:41:51of what sports
00:41:51is all about.
00:41:52of rivalry.
00:41:54To him,
00:41:55the rivalries were
00:41:56the greatest thing
00:41:58you could ever have
00:41:58in sports.
00:41:59The whole Boston-Laker rivalry
00:42:01goes back
00:42:02to the 60s.
00:42:06The period
00:42:07that when I was playing,
00:42:08the Celtics were there
00:42:09every year,
00:42:09and we had good teams,
00:42:10but we were just
00:42:11not good enough
00:42:12to beat them.
00:42:12The ball game is over.
00:42:13The Boston Celtics
00:42:15are the world champions,
00:42:17and the Boston Celtics
00:42:18have won their
00:42:18fifth world championship.
00:42:20The Boston Celtics
00:42:21have given Bostonians
00:42:22something to talk about.
00:42:23That's it.
00:42:23The game is over.
00:42:24What a rivalry.
00:42:26The Boston Celtics
00:42:27have done it again.
00:42:28Another jewel
00:42:29in that crown.
00:42:30I have not been to Boston
00:42:33since I played
00:42:36as a player.
00:42:37The albatross,
00:42:39we felt,
00:42:39was on our back
00:42:40to sort of break this hex.
00:42:42I grew up watching
00:42:44the Celtics
00:42:45and that parquet floored.
00:42:47It was amazing
00:42:48on television.
00:42:49But when you get in there,
00:42:51it's pretty shitty.
00:42:55In the winter,
00:42:56we'd play in Boston.
00:42:58It seemed like
00:42:58the heat never worked.
00:43:00In the summers,
00:43:01the air conditioning
00:43:02never worked.
00:43:04We'd stay in the hotel,
00:43:05and it seemed like
00:43:06the alarms would go off
00:43:07all hours of the night.
00:43:09And that seemed
00:43:11to only happen in Boston.
00:43:13We got a chance
00:43:14to eradicate
00:43:15the ghosts from the past,
00:43:17to clear the air
00:43:18for Jerry West,
00:43:20the Elgin Baylor,
00:43:21Wilt Chamberlain.
00:43:22All the times
00:43:23that they could never
00:43:23beat Boston,
00:43:25we got a chance
00:43:26to do that.
00:43:28We knew how important
00:43:29it was to beat the Lakers
00:43:30because of the history.
00:43:32In Boston,
00:43:33there's always a buzz,
00:43:34but when the Lakers
00:43:34came down,
00:43:35it was different.
00:43:36I mean,
00:43:36our fans knew
00:43:37when we played the Lakers,
00:43:39that's the ultimate game.
00:43:40The bottom line is
00:43:42if you're wearing
00:43:44the Lakers uniform,
00:43:46you hate the Celtic uniform.
00:43:48And if you're wearing
00:43:48the Celtic uniform,
00:43:49you hate the Lakers uniform.
00:43:50It's just the bottom line.
00:43:51I remember being glued
00:44:05to the television,
00:44:07watching those Lakers-Celtics games.
00:44:10And back then,
00:44:10had like a cheap little TV
00:44:13about this big,
00:44:14and just staring at it
00:44:15with intensity.
00:44:16Now, Magic Johnson,
00:44:17the man with the ball,
00:44:18and he gets it quickly
00:44:19into Kareem,
00:44:20who's fouled
00:44:21and gets the basket.
00:44:22I'd say right now,
00:44:23the Lakers are pretty much
00:44:24in control of this game.
00:44:26But the Los Angeles Lakers
00:44:27have won in Boston
00:44:29and in a nine-game
00:44:30playoff streak at home,
00:44:31and have beaten
00:44:32the Boston Celtics
00:44:33115-109
00:44:34to take a 1-0 lead
00:44:37in the best of seven
00:44:38for the NBA World Championship.
00:44:40We won the first game.
00:44:41The Los Angeles Lakers
00:44:42handed the Celtics
00:44:43their first home court defeat
00:44:45in 10 playoff games this year.
00:44:46We're live at Boston Garden
00:44:48for game number two
00:44:49of the NBA World Championship Series.
00:44:52I made some coaching blunders
00:44:53in the second game.
00:44:54I thought it really cost us.
00:44:56The Lakers have it
00:44:57with 20 seconds to go
00:44:58and lead the Celtics
00:44:59113-111.
00:45:00Worthy will inbound
00:45:03to Magic Johnson.
00:45:05Worst comes to worst,
00:45:05the Celtics will have to
00:45:06foul, and there's a score
00:45:07by Henderson
00:45:07who lays it up and in.
00:45:09The pass that I made
00:45:11was trying to get it
00:45:12to Byron Scott,
00:45:14which Gerald Henderson
00:45:15intercepted and laid it in,
00:45:18forced us to overtime.
00:45:19Henderson lays it up and in.
00:45:21It's all side-up.
00:45:23If I don't make that pass,
00:45:26I think we go up 2-0.
00:45:28And there's no way
00:45:29they're going to beat us.
00:45:30We're going back to L.A.
00:45:31Today, we will define
00:45:32the word choke.
00:45:33A choke is a device
00:45:34on a car to improve
00:45:35the gas and air mixture.
00:45:37It is also what
00:45:38the Los Angeles Lakers
00:45:39did in Boston last night.
00:45:41Sorry, Connie.
00:45:41Then the series became real.
00:45:44You know, became real.
00:45:45We went home,
00:45:46then beat them by 30.
00:45:47The game was a round,
00:45:48the most lopsided defeat
00:45:49in Boston playoff history.
00:45:51And the Celtics
00:45:52looked like beaten men.
00:45:54What changed the tenor
00:45:55of that series
00:45:56was in game four.
00:46:00I can remember
00:46:00going in that game,
00:46:02it's, we always say,
00:46:03we've got to do
00:46:03whatever we can do
00:46:04to win this basketball game
00:46:05because if we don't win
00:46:07this one, it's over.
00:46:09McHale has doubled.
00:46:11Dennis Johnson is short
00:46:12with it.
00:46:13Cooper to Kareem
00:46:14to Worthy
00:46:15to Ramble.
00:46:15He should go the distance.
00:46:18And now, let's watch it.
00:46:19Cooper and the Celtics
00:46:21and now the bench is empty.
00:46:24As Larry Bird helps
00:46:25Kurt Rambis up.
00:46:28He was decked by two Celtics
00:46:30and hit the floor hard.
00:46:32It wasn't like we were
00:46:32going to have to try
00:46:33to hurt somebody
00:46:34and Kevin McHale's not
00:46:35knowing to knock people
00:46:36down like that.
00:46:37But when it happened,
00:46:39I'm going,
00:46:39Jesus, Kevin,
00:46:40what was that all about?
00:46:41watching the clotheslining
00:46:43of Rambis.
00:46:44It was so intense.
00:46:46I'm sure that, you know,
00:46:47there was some begrudging
00:46:48professional respect
00:46:49like, you know,
00:46:49game recognizing game
00:46:50and all that.
00:46:52But it's just this feeling
00:46:53of they really hated each other.
00:46:56It was brutal.
00:46:58In today's game,
00:46:59that would have been
00:47:00a $50,000 fine
00:47:02and he'd have been suspended
00:47:04for the next game.
00:47:06But in the rough and tumble world
00:47:08of the 80s of the NBA,
00:47:11it didn't happen.
00:47:12We riled them a little bit.
00:47:14We were a physical team.
00:47:16That one play
00:47:16sort of changed things.
00:47:18And the Boston Celtics
00:47:19have evened this
00:47:20NBA World Championship Series
00:47:22at two games apiece.
00:47:24When we go back
00:47:25and we get buried
00:47:26in game five
00:47:27in probably
00:47:30the most uncomfortable
00:47:32arena that you could ever be in,
00:47:34it had to be 120 degrees in there.
00:47:36It was like 91 or 92 degrees
00:47:38because we didn't have air conditioning.
00:47:39They're not used to that in L.A.
00:47:41I had a teammate tell me,
00:47:43can you imagine
00:47:43how many people's faces
00:47:44would melt in here
00:47:45if it's 91, 92
00:47:46with all the plastic surgery?
00:47:49You just have to give
00:47:50both clubs
00:47:52a lot of credit
00:47:52for enduring
00:47:53a 48-minute steam bath.
00:47:55We lost that game
00:47:56and we came back
00:47:57in game six
00:47:58and basically
00:47:59neatly won game six.
00:48:01We have a chance
00:48:02to do something
00:48:03that no other team
00:48:04has ever done.
00:48:05Go back to Boston Garden
00:48:06and win a world championship
00:48:08on that parquet floor.
00:48:10And we lost in game seven.
00:48:13Final second.
00:48:14Four, four, three.
00:48:16Go for one to three.
00:48:18It's over.
00:48:20We choked.
00:48:21I choked as a coach.
00:48:23I didn't do a good job.
00:48:24The most miserable
00:48:25I have ever been
00:48:26was after that seventh game.
00:48:29We felt we gave away
00:48:31a championship
00:48:31and that's the summer
00:48:34that they came after us
00:48:36and called us sissies,
00:48:37called us fakers,
00:48:38called us the Hollywood softies,
00:48:41Tragic Magic,
00:48:42you know, whatever it was.
00:48:43Oh, they came after us, man.
00:48:45The Lakers, the fakers,
00:48:46and a bunch of sissies
00:48:48and this and that.
00:48:49That's all part of the game,
00:48:50you know?
00:48:54Losing always set my dad
00:48:56off into a dark place.
00:49:00To be so close
00:49:01and to lose to the Celtics,
00:49:04you know,
00:49:05it made him that much more
00:49:06determined to beat them.
00:49:09And then we spent
00:49:10the whole summer
00:49:11thinking about it.
00:49:12Then that whole season
00:49:13in 85,
00:49:14we dedicated that season
00:49:16just to get back
00:49:17to the finals
00:49:17and hoping they were there.
00:49:19Whatever you do,
00:49:21don't look at the camera, Gary.
00:49:23I came in after
00:49:24they had lost in 84
00:49:26and it was very apparent to me
00:49:28the goal for this team
00:49:30was not to win
00:49:31an NBA championship.
00:49:34The goal was to beat
00:49:36the Boston Celtics
00:49:37to win the NBA championship.
00:49:39We won!
00:49:40We won!
00:49:41We won!
00:49:42For a full year now,
00:49:44this has been the L.A. cry,
00:49:46wanting Boston
00:49:46but really wanting redemption.
00:49:48They needed
00:49:49to play the Celtics
00:49:51and they needed
00:49:51to beat them
00:49:52for all the skeletons
00:49:54to come out of the closet
00:49:56and sort of release
00:49:57this curse
00:49:58that seemed to be
00:49:59hanging over their head.
00:50:01Oh, I hope the Lakers do it.
00:50:02They should do it.
00:50:03Why do you think they should?
00:50:04Because they owe it to us
00:50:05to do it.
00:50:06Lakers, for sure.
00:50:07Oh, it's going to be the Lakers.
00:50:08Yeah, for sure.
00:50:09Yeah, you live in L.A.,
00:50:10of course.
00:50:10Of course.
00:50:10If you lived in Boston,
00:50:11you wouldn't be saying that.
00:50:12I wouldn't live in Boston.
00:50:15Lakers.
00:50:16Why do you say Lakers?
00:50:17We have the Magic Man,
00:50:18they have Cream,
00:50:19they have everybody.
00:50:20Worthy's going off
00:50:21through the whole series.
00:50:22Ain't nobody sticking.
00:50:24After the Lakers lost,
00:50:25I was devastated.
00:50:26I despised the Celtics.
00:50:29Larry Bird, Kevin McHale,
00:50:32Robert Parrish,
00:50:33Danny Strange,
00:50:34Jerry Shitsting,
00:50:35all of those guys, man.
00:50:37I hated them.
00:50:38Pick them out,
00:50:41pick them out.
00:50:42Hey, go Celtics,
00:50:44beat L.A.
00:50:44Souvenants here.
00:50:45Hit the road, Jack.
00:50:47Yeah, get out of here, Jack.
00:50:48It's the Celtics all the way.
00:50:50Woo-hoo!
00:50:51The fans in L.A.
00:50:52are phony fans.
00:50:53The fans here are true fans.
00:50:54The fans here are more
00:50:55sports-oriented.
00:50:56They're not movie-goers.
00:50:59They're here to see the stars.
00:51:00You know,
00:51:00they want to see a good game.
00:51:02Who's going to win it?
00:51:03The Celtics.
00:51:03Because there's no other reason why.
00:51:06The Celtics are the balls.
00:51:08I don't know if you know anything
00:51:09about balls and sports out there,
00:51:10but they're still doing that stuff.
00:51:13Best fans in the world.
00:51:15They're behind their teams.
00:51:16The perception was
00:51:17this was the bitter, cold,
00:51:19tough East Coast
00:51:20where you had to fight for everything
00:51:22and L.A. is where all the surfers are
00:51:24and Hollywood and the glamour
00:51:26and the babes on every corner.
00:51:28I mean, it's just,
00:51:28it's the perception of the cities,
00:51:30not just the teams.
00:51:33Going into the finals,
00:51:35the Lakers were facing
00:51:36the Boston Celtics
00:51:37for the ninth time
00:51:39and they had lost
00:51:40all of the previous eight.
00:51:42The Lakers are determined
00:51:43to break through this time,
00:51:44but time will tell.
00:51:46And we're underway.
00:51:47Here's Magic pushing it up.
00:51:50James Worthy.
00:51:51Air ball.
00:51:52There's a three-on-one win,
00:51:53two-on-one.
00:51:55Worthy misses the shot.
00:51:5720-4 lead for the Celtics
00:51:58on the Lakers
00:51:59in his first half.
00:52:00And Worthy steps on the line
00:52:02with Celtic ball.
00:52:03I'd be very concerned
00:52:04if I was Pat Riley.
00:52:05Tight.
00:52:06Hook shot.
00:52:08And that breaks the record.
00:52:10The Boston Celtics
00:52:11have set a record
00:52:12for the most points
00:52:12in one game
00:52:13in a championship series.
00:52:15And that'll do it.
00:52:17No contest.
00:52:18Game one.
00:52:19But it's just game one.
00:52:20Best of seven.
00:52:21Give it to the Boston Celtics
00:52:23by a wide margin.
00:52:24The media went crazy.
00:52:26We're over the hill.
00:52:27We're done.
00:52:27What a horrible performance.
00:52:30Kareem Abdul-Jabbar,
00:52:31it's too old.
00:52:32He was run off the court
00:52:33by Parrish and McHale,
00:52:35and he looked like an old man.
00:52:37I mean, they really killed us.
00:52:38The media killed us.
00:52:40And deservedly so.
00:52:42We choked in 84,
00:52:43and we choked in the first game.
00:52:46And I had a simple,
00:52:49not rule,
00:52:50but an understanding
00:52:51that when we went to a game,
00:52:52we all went together.
00:52:54And nobody else.
00:52:55No family, no friends, nobody.
00:52:57We all went together on the bus.
00:52:58And so I said,
00:52:59let's get on the bus at 6 o'clock.
00:53:01Then I looked to my right.
00:53:05Kareem's running towards the bus.
00:53:07And there's a gentleman following him,
00:53:09and I recognized that it was his father, Big Al.
00:53:15My dad was starting to demonstrate
00:53:18the process of dementia.
00:53:20He had gotten separated from my mom.
00:53:25So I grabbed him,
00:53:26and I took him on the bus.
00:53:30He said,
00:53:30can my dad go to the game with me?
00:53:32And I said,
00:53:34absolutely.
00:53:35Absolutely.
00:53:40The last time that I saw my father
00:53:42was in 1970.
00:53:43I was saying goodbye to them,
00:53:48and he opened the door
00:53:49and came out,
00:53:50and he said,
00:53:51just remember what I always taught you,
00:53:53that, you know,
00:53:54someplace, you know,
00:53:55somewhere, sometime,
00:53:56you're going to have to plant your feet,
00:53:58stand firm,
00:53:59and make a point
00:54:00about who you are
00:54:02and where you came from.
00:54:03Just remember that, Pat.
00:54:05When that time comes,
00:54:05you do it, you know?
00:54:06And he just patted me on the shoulder
00:54:08and left.
00:54:08I never saw him again after that.
00:54:10So when I gave my final comments
00:54:13before we went out on the court,
00:54:15I started talking about dads,
00:54:16my dad and everybody else's dad
00:54:18that I knew there,
00:54:20and it was a very emotional time.
00:54:24The last words that I said
00:54:26to the team
00:54:28were going out tonight
00:54:30to plant our feet,
00:54:31stand firm,
00:54:32make a point
00:54:33about who we are.
00:54:34We're world champions
00:54:35and about where we came from,
00:54:38come from L.A.
00:54:40and we're going to have
00:54:41a lot of fun.
00:54:42Kareem bringing his father
00:54:43on the bus
00:54:44inspired me
00:54:44to change my speech
00:54:46and talk about dads.
00:54:49It was probably
00:54:50one of the greatest
00:54:50motivation speech
00:54:51to a team
00:54:52that you could ever give
00:54:53to get them ready.
00:54:55You could feel it
00:54:55from how he got it
00:54:56and how his dad got it
00:54:58and gave it to him,
00:54:58and Pat Riley gave it to us,
00:55:00and boy, it was perfect.
00:55:05When you think back
00:55:06to Monday,
00:55:06it is still hard to believe
00:55:08that the Celtics
00:55:08beat the Lakers
00:55:09by 34 points.
00:55:11But I think the thing
00:55:12to keep in mind
00:55:13is that frequently
00:55:14in a seven-game series,
00:55:15it is the second game
00:55:17which dictates
00:55:18the tempo
00:55:19and the mood
00:55:19for the remainder
00:55:20of the series.
00:55:22This was the major
00:55:24breakthrough moment
00:55:25for that team
00:55:27to really own
00:55:29their greatness,
00:55:30to own it
00:55:30with this tremendous adversity.
00:55:33The Celtics
00:55:34only lost
00:55:35in their last 22
00:55:37of these Lakers
00:55:37in game one
00:55:38a year ago.
00:55:39It's a new year,
00:55:40a new game,
00:55:411-0 Boston League.
00:55:44And the Lakers
00:55:45control.
00:55:46When you're trying
00:55:46to win a championship
00:55:47in that environment,
00:55:49in that stadium,
00:55:50with the players
00:55:51that they had,
00:55:52it wasn't easy at all.
00:55:53And here comes L.A.,
00:55:54pushing it up the way
00:55:55you like.
00:55:56I knew every time
00:55:57I went to try to dunk
00:55:58I was going to get hit.
00:55:59James knew it.
00:56:01Magic knew when he went
00:56:02to the hole, he was going
00:56:02to get hit.
00:56:03That was a part of the game
00:56:04as far as we were concerned.
00:56:07Boston thought we were soft.
00:56:09We found out we weren't.
00:56:11We got some players
00:56:12that will take your head off
00:56:13if that's what type
00:56:15of game you want to play.
00:56:16At this kind of pace
00:56:17when they have the big lead,
00:56:18Bird is fouled
00:56:19as he goes in.
00:56:20And you don't see
00:56:21Larry Bird often times it up.
00:56:22We were a team
00:56:23that could play any style
00:56:24of basketball
00:56:24that you want to play.
00:56:25And we're still going
00:56:26to play our style
00:56:27at the end of the day.
00:56:28We're still going
00:56:28to get up and down.
00:56:29We're still going
00:56:29to be showtime.
00:56:30If you want to be
00:56:31half-court and gritty,
00:56:32we'll play that way.
00:56:33If you want to be physical,
00:56:34we'll play that way.
00:56:35And then we're going
00:56:36to still get up
00:56:36and down the floor.
00:56:39Ladies and gentlemen,
00:56:40welcome to Boston Garden.
00:56:41We go to game number six.
00:56:43The Los Angeles Lakers
00:56:44have achieved
00:56:44a three to two advantage.
00:56:46They want to stifle
00:56:47the Celtics here today
00:56:48and be crowned
00:56:49the 1985 World Champion.
00:56:55There's no way
00:56:56I was going to miss it.
00:56:57I was shooting a movie.
00:56:58The studio wouldn't
00:56:59let me fly.
00:57:00I'd hired a seaplane
00:57:01to secretly pick me up,
00:57:03flew to Boston
00:57:04and got in my seats
00:57:06just in time for tip-off.
00:57:08Unfortunately,
00:57:08they cut to me
00:57:09in the audience
00:57:09in the broadcast.
00:57:10Rob Lowe,
00:57:11the actor here.
00:57:12And the studio
00:57:13found out that I was there.
00:57:14They were not happy.
00:57:18Kareem controls.
00:57:19Five rebounds
00:57:20for Kareem.
00:57:21We were tired
00:57:32of hearing
00:57:32how we were 0-8
00:57:33against the Celtics.
00:57:34So,
00:57:35it was just
00:57:36a big relief
00:57:37for all of us,
00:57:38you know,
00:57:38to finally get that monkey
00:57:40off our back.
00:57:41The Lakers
00:57:41are winning it.
00:57:43Three in six years.
00:57:45L.A. comes to Boston
00:57:46and wins the world title.
00:57:49We're the only team
00:57:50to win it
00:57:50for the world championship
00:57:51in Boston Garden
00:57:52other than the Celtics.
00:57:55After what we had
00:57:55gone through
00:57:56the year before,
00:57:57being called sissies
00:57:58and fakers,
00:57:59being able to come back
00:58:00after that
00:58:01and win it
00:58:02in Boston Garden,
00:58:04I'll go to my grave
00:58:05smiling about that.
00:58:07I really wanted
00:58:08to win it
00:58:08two years in a row
00:58:09because nobody's
00:58:10done it a long time.
00:58:12And,
00:58:12uh,
00:58:13we were good enough
00:58:14to beat them.
00:58:15Then they came in Boston
00:58:16and beat us in Boston.
00:58:17I didn't think
00:58:17they could ever do that.
00:58:18They're so uplifting
00:58:21when they win championships
00:58:22and when they beat
00:58:22the Celtics
00:58:23and did it in Boston.
00:58:25It's those things
00:58:25that suck you in forever.
00:58:27I feel it now.
00:58:28You know,
00:58:29I just,
00:58:29I just got a moment.
00:58:31God,
00:58:31was it fun
00:58:32to root against them?
00:58:34Oh.
00:58:36The best.
00:58:38Coach,
00:58:38does it make it
00:58:38any sweeter
00:58:39defeating the Celtics
00:58:40here at home
00:58:41when you lost it
00:58:41last year?
00:58:41God damn parquet floor
00:58:43on our championship rings.
00:58:44We're going to have
00:58:44a parquet floor
00:58:45with a diamond
00:58:46in the middle of it.
00:58:46This is what every kid
00:58:47who's ever picked up
00:58:48a basketball dreams
00:58:49about doing.
00:58:50I couldn't be happier,
00:58:51man.
00:58:51I'm the happiest guy
00:58:51in the world right now.
00:58:52We have the people
00:58:53back in L.A.
00:58:53waiting on us now.
00:58:55You know,
00:58:55they're partying for us.
00:58:57It's just great.
00:58:58Now the title is back
00:58:59in L.A.
00:59:01We just party
00:59:02how everybody in L.A.
00:59:04gets a party
00:59:04for us
00:59:05because we're going to pass.
00:59:06We'll party
00:59:06for the rest of this summer.
00:59:07It's time to get down.
00:59:09Hey,
00:59:09look at this.
00:59:10Up!
00:59:15This has removed
00:59:16the most odious sentence
00:59:18in the English language.
00:59:20It can never again
00:59:21be said
00:59:22that the Lakers
00:59:23have never beaten
00:59:24the Celtics.
00:59:29When you've tasted
00:59:30that winning,
00:59:32it's an addiction.
00:59:34You want to keep winning.
00:59:35And how is that
00:59:36going to happen?
00:59:38You know,
00:59:38my dad was determined
00:59:39this was,
00:59:41let's keep this going.
00:59:42What else can we do?
00:59:43Bring it on.

00:59:58that it takes
