Several Media outlets in L.A. are reporting long-time Los Angeles Lakers Owner Jerry Buss has died.

Buss purchased the team in 1979. He had been hospitalized for the past few months due to a previously undisclosed intestinal problem ... though it was revealed over the weekend he'd been battling cancer the entire time.
