Although Buss wonders what Jackson will do to keep busy after leaving the Lakers, she has confidence in their relationship more now than when Jackson was leaving coaching in 2004.
“Going through this season wasn’t as hard for me,
Nike Zoom Hyperfuse, because I kind of know our connection now or I’m confident in that connection,
Kobe Olympic,” Buss said.
Jackson also said Buss might be “perhaps even more so” suited to run her father’s entire franchise than her brother because of her ability to read people and navigate politics,
Nike Hyperdunk, even in basketball operations. Jackson did acknowledge it “kind of makes sense” and is “understandable” for Jeanie to run the business and Jim to handle the basketball end.
The second part of the interview is still to come Wednesday.
