The owner of American basketball side LA Lakers has died at the age of 80.
Jerry Buss, who brought the team back in 1979, was recently hospitalised at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles with a form of cancer, according to the Los Angeles Times.
It is an illness that prevented him from attending a Lakers match this season.
The Lakers won 10 NBA titles since Buss purchased the club.
