THE STACHE BELONGS TO…

Dr. BussBy Rock Mayock 9:30 p.m. | The OG PhD of Los Angeles, the late great Dr. Gerald “Jerry” Hatten Buss. The life of Dr. Buss reads like a Hollywood script. A self made billionaire who was born of very humble roots in Salt Lake City. Dr. Buss discovered his lifelong soul mate while earning his PhD in chemistry from USC, the City of Los Angeles. Never one to be satisfied with the status quo, Dr. Buss was bored with the day to day tedium of academia. As a result he began dabbling in the world of real estate with a modest investment of $1,000 in a West Los Angeles apartment building.

THE STACHE BELONGS TO…

DantoniBy Rock Mayock 11:00 p.m. | Current Lakers head coach Mike Dantoni. Under Dantoni’s “expert” tutelage the Lakers have surged to an impressive 13-20 record leaving them 4.5 games out of the final playoff spot in the Pacific. Dantoni’s success, or therein lack of, is proof positive that the Lakers should have gone with their first choice, Phil Jackson, when choosing a replacement for the ousted Mike Brown. Perhaps Dantoni’s penchant for standing hands on hips with a goofy smile on his face is not the best formula for on the court success.
