Ownership of the Los Angeles Lakers is about to undergo a significant shift.<\/p>\n

ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania disclosed on Wednesday that Jeanie Buss, whose family has controlled the Lakers since 1979, plans to transfer her family\u2019s controlling interest in the team to Mark Walter, who currently holds a minority share. Walter, the CEO of TWG Global, is also involved with multiple sports entities, including the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Los Angeles Sparks, and the upcoming Cadillac Formula 1 team.<\/p>\n

This transaction would put the Lakers’ valuation at $10 billion, making it the most expensive team sale in sports history.<\/p>\n

The announcement left NBA fans and media members astonished, both by the decision of the Buss family to relinquish their majority stake and by the staggering sale price they received in return.<\/p>\n
