The Lakers and Clippers don’t have much of a rivalry on the court. The Lakers have been historically bad during the Clippers’ recent run as a playoff team, and the Clippers were historically bad when the Lakers were winning 10 championships over 30 years. In one email uncovered in the story, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss opines on Clippers owner Steve Ballmer’s plans to build his own arena in Inglewood. “Didn’t Ballz see what we did to my brother?? Whoopee.” I don’t know what’s better — Buss’s nickname for Ballmer or cold-bloodedly bragging about getting rid of her brother.
