Jeanie Buss

What fascinates me about Jeanie Buss is that she runs one of the most scrutinized franchises in sports while keeping her private life almost entirely off the record. Inheriting the Lakers could have been a coronation; instead she fought to legitimize her authority and then doubled down by reviving women's professional wrestling. I read that as someone who refuses to be a placeholder. She blends old-school deal-making with genuine showmanship, and the fact that she championed a women's wrestling promotion tells me she values spectacle and underdogs alike. To me she is a quietly stubborn operator, and that combination is rarer than people admit.
