Usually it is an NBA player who draws attention to himself when he gets in legal trouble.? Not this time – this time it involves an NBA owner, namely Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss.? The Associated Press reports that Buss was suspended two games and fined $25,000 by?NBA commissioner David Stern in conjunction with Buss’ conviction on a misdemeanor drunk driving charge.

Buss was arrested in May in Carlsbad, CA and pleaded no contest to the drunk driving charge on September 4, 2007.? He was subsequently fined $1,900 and given 5 years probation.? Additionally, he was ordered to participate in a first-conviction program and also attend attend a program sponsored by Mothers Against Drunk Driving.? After the sentencing, Buss said, “I was wrong to do it.? It was a mistake I will not make again.”? Jerry, do yourself a favor.? As filthy rich as you are, get yourself a designated driver or hire a limo.
