My best friends dad used to work for him back in the early 70s. Said he was a really nice guy, sad to see him pass.

I use to valet park in my 20's. I parked his limo once, his driver-security guy at the time said he would tip me well for parking it, he didn't.

Unless you are a Lakers fan then who??? I've never heard of this guy but am sad to see that someone has died. The guy must have been worth (fill in the blank) but he still died like the rest of us poor schlops.

He revolutionized NBA branding/marketing, premimum seating prices, etc... and came from a poor family and worked his way up to create his own wealth.

If partial ownership of the Lakers pass over to Jeannie before they get married, Phil cannot take part of it when they divorce. But, if they are married THEN Jeannie gets ownership, Phil is entitled to up to half of the Jeannie's percentage of the Lakers...
