Jerry Buss, the 74 year old owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, was caught outside a shopping mall earlier today, doing a mock video interview with his camera cell phone. After a closer look, he appeared to be getting footage of a car tire, instead of himself, obviously confused about how the phone works and where the camera lens is. When we asked him about the latest developments on Kobe Bryant's apparent desire to be traded, Jerry Buss was surprised, confused, then surprised again.
"Kobe's unhappy? I had no idea. When did this start? Man, I'm the last to find out everything," said Buss, slurring his words and chuckling to himself while continuing to play with his cell phone. "You know, it's amazing, this little thing can videotape stuff. I remember growing up and seeing these huge cameras that would only take a few minutes of footage. Now, you can do a whole movie on one of these little cameraphones, it's amazing." Then Buss started to put the phone close to his face, then away, saying "I'm huge, I'm tiny, I'm huge, I'm tiny, hahaha, I love this."
Trying to get back on the subject, the interviewer then mentioned the latest Kobe drama, where he was secretly caught on video in a mall parking lot trashing members of the Laker organization in a profanity-laced tirade.
"Oh yeah? Hadn't heard about that. Sounds exciting, especially if he wasn't aware of being taped. Juicy, gotta love LA, right? You got a copy of the video? I'd love to see it. Like I said, I'm truly amazed at what these little phones can do these days. How long was it? Did he mention me? How was the camera work? Geez, I can't wait to see it now."
Buss was then asked if he had a drinking problem, referring to his DUI on May 29th of this year. He was short and succinct in his response.
"Drinking problem? No, I like to drink. No problem," replied Buss.
