Yeah best basketball team in HISTORY, but not in RECENT HISTORY, tell me this.. when was the last time the "Greatest Team In Basketball History" won an NBA championship? 1985-86? When was the last Lakers NBA championship? 2001-02. That being said Jerry Buss isn't a bad poker player...3rd place in the 1991 World Series of Poker seven card stud event and 2nd place in the 2003 World Poker Tour invitational.
