The巴斯 Family Feud: How a Billion-Dollar NBA Dynasty Crumbled from Within
The Dynasty That Ate Itself
I grew up in Chicago’s Chinatown watching Lakers games with my engineer dad—silent, analytical, but secretly screaming at every foul call. When Jerry巴斯 died in 2013, he left six kids equal voting power… and then the real horror began.
The Two Factions: Blood or Brotherhood?
吉姆派? They wanted control. 珍妮派? She wanted legacy. And between them sat the ghost of Magic Johnson and the ghost of Phil Jackson—two men who loved basketball more than they loved each other.
Kobe was their golden boy until吉姆 picked Bynum over him in ’05. That wasn’t a draft pick—it was an assassination attempt on legacy. Kobe screamed for trade to Chicago. Jerry saved him… again.
The Cinderella Coup (2017)
珍妮 didn’t wait for retirement. She engineered a palace coup: Magic,兰比斯夫妇, even her brother乔伊—all aligned against吉姆. He got fired before his season ended. His contracts? \(64M for Mozgovoy? \)72M for Rolland? Pure financial necromancy.
The Throne Without a King
After吉姆 fell,珍妮 installed her inner circle:兰比斯 as co-ruler, 哈里斯 as CFO (ex-boyfriend), 她的 son as GM-in-waiting. This wasn’t management—it was feudalism with three-pointers.
Magic quit in 2019 without warning—not because he was tired… but because he saw it all coming: no freedom to fire沃顿, no loyalty to legacy, only power dressed in silk.
The End of the Bas
c Era?
Now it’s D’Antoni’s ghost haunting Staples Center… and Mark Walter arrives like some Silicon Valley vulture with Excel spreadsheets instead of championship banners.
We built empires on trust—and broke them on greed. The real tragedy? We forgot basketball was never about family. It was about players.

Когда баскетбол съел семью — и не просто так, а с калькулятором в руках! Джерри ушёл в 2013, оставив шесть детей с голосами и контрактами вместо обеда. Кобе бежал в Чикаго — не за титулом, а за выживание! А теперь Мэджик в отставке… не потому что устал, а потому что увидел: «Семья — это когда мама покупает тебе твой душ». Кто ещё верит в чудо? Лайка? 😅
Als ob der Korb nicht von Algorithmen gespielt wird… Aber nein! Die echte Tragödie? Es geht nicht um Lakers — es geht um Datenblut! Magic hat aufgehört, weil er endlich verstand: Ein Trauerzug aus Excel-Tabellen ist kein Spiel mehr — das ist Feudalism mit Foul-Statistiken! Wer zahlt 72M für Rolland? Nur weil sein Vater ein INTJ war… und die Mutter hat den Thron als CFO übernommen. #BasketballIstKeinKind
क्या ये बैस परिवार हैं? कोबे को बॉल से प्यार हुआ, जेरी ने क्रिकेट बैट से फ़िल को मारा…और मैजिक का सीन हुआ! मगर सच्चाई? हम सबको ‘खेल’ कहते हैं… पर ‘फ़ैमिली’ ही तो ‘बल्ल’ है! 😂 अगला-दया? #KobeWasTheRealDraftPick

- Why Pep Guardiola's Position Swap Drills Are More Than Just Chaos – A Data Analyst's TakeAs a former NBA scout turned sports analyst, I break down the method behind Pep Guardiola's apparent 'positional chaos' in training. By forcing players like Haaland to play as creators or midfielders to defend, Guardiola isn't just tinkering – he's engineering empathy through data-driven role reversal. Learn how these drills create smarter teammates who anticipate each other's needs, with insights from basketball's similar 'positionless' trends.
