Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa shares Disney coincidence amid ex-CEO Bob Iger’s Lakers move

Los Angeles Lakers fans are still trying to unpack what Bob Iger and Josh Kushner's $12.5 billion purchase of the team might mean, in terms of the Lakers' future success.

Bob Iger once told JJ Redick he "couldn't root for the Lakers" as a lifelong Knicks fan. Now he helped buy the Los Angeles Lakers for $12.5 billion.

The sale comes barely a year after the team’s controlling stake was sold for $10 billion to Mark Walter, the billionaire CEO of Guggenheim Partners who also owns MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers.

Billionaire Mark Walter's sale of the NBA's Lakers is a record-breaking valuation for a North American sports franchise.
