Many people may not be aware of this, but you’ve managed plenty of other organizations (The Los Angeles Strings, Blades, and The Forum). You were clearly more than qualified to become the President of the Los Angeles Lakers, but my question for you is when and how exactly did you know that you were ready to take on such an important role in such an historic franchise? 2.

Before conducting this interview, I researched what current tasks you complete on a daily basis, and found that you also are an owner of the Women of Wrestling promotion. Ironically enough, I am also a huge professional wrestling fan. Do you find your job as The President of the Lakers similar, …show more content…

In a recent interview with Bleacher Report regarding Kobe Bryant’s recent announcement regarding his retirement, you said that it is hard for you to imagine the Lakers without him (as it will be for all Laker fanatics). My question for you is one that you may get asked a lot in the next few weeks, but I honestly am curious as a fan; what steps does someone in your position look to take next year to fill in this missing piece of the Lakers? 5.
