I remember when Phil Jackson was hired. He was told he can bring anyone (assistant coaches) he wants but Bertka stays. |

Living legend. He's a walking museum. Glad he has been able to sit shoulder to shoulder with the young Buss's and drop his Yoda knowledge for so long. |

I'm always curious to know how involved he still is but so glad and happy that they've kept him around in some function as long as they have. He's always been well respected (at least from what I hear when people speak of him) across a multitude of front offices and coaching staff. Happy bday indeed! |

Billy B was a great AC, but he was absolutely horrible as a GM:

Anyway, Happy Birthday, Bill! _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

Riley's version of Tex Winter, amazed that Bertka is still kicking when so many from his era have left us! HAPPY BIRTHRDAY |
