In a move that continues the Los Angeles Lakers' legacy of family involvement, Bob Iger's son has been appointed as the play-by-play television announcer for the Lakers' G-League team. This decision comes amidst the Lakers' transition as the franchise is being sold to Joshua Kushner and Bob Iger himself, marking a significant shift in ownership while retaining a familial connection to the team.
The Lakers, a storied franchise in the NBA, have a rich history of family leadership, notably under Jerry Buss and his children, who guided the team to 11 championships over 47 years. The hiring of Iger's son is seen as a continuation of this tradition, suggesting that the new ownership will maintain some of the familial ties that have characterized the team's management.S1S2
