Jeanie Buss spoke to a handful of reporters about the Luka Doncic trade while promoting a comedy series on Netflix that's loosely based on her life, "Running Point."
Inspired loosely by the life of Jeanie Buss, the Netflix series counts Mindy Kaling among its creators and Kate Hudson among its stacked cast.
Now streaming on Netflix, the series focuses on Isla Gordon (Hudson), as she’s unexpectedly given control of her family’s basketball team, the Waves. Though a fictional team and story, “Running Point” is loosely based on Lakers president Jeanie Buss.
Real life Los Angeles Lakers exec Jeanie Buss, an admired, larger than life figure, inspired Thursday’s “Running Point,” Netflix’s 10-episode sports comedy series.
The showrunner also pushes for productions to return to L.A. following the fires: "We're really lucky that our show about a famous L.A. family was able to shoot here. It wouldn't be right to do it anywhere else.
The new Netflix series "Running Point" features Kate Hudson as Isla Gordon, a character based off Los Angeles Lakers executive Jeanie Buss.
Hudson plays a pro basketball team owner in the new Netflix series, which is loosely based on Buss' real story.
The Lakers' trade for Luka Doncic is the kind of move that will shape Jeanie Buss' organization into the future — and it’s the kind of trade she thinks her father would’ve made.
