"I saw the other day Jeanie Buss made a statement, the five most important Lakers, one of the most offensive things I’ve ever heard in my life.

"And I don’t ever take credit for stuff, I don’t. When I was around, maybe I was just a good luck charm. But I do know, that when this thing fell apart, there was a lot of years where they weren’t very good."

West was a one-time NBA champion as a player and 14-time All-Star and was the team’s general manager from 1982 to 2000, bringing Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal to the team and hiring Jackson as the head coach.
