Other photos went with the “hockey” theme, featuring Jeanie in hockey shoulder pads, socks, sneakers, and holding a hockey stick. Buss has spoken about the reasons behind participating in the magazine as she said it was her own "personal goal". Women in particular will admire how she has become a respected executive with integrity, a sense of humor, loyalty and sensitivity in a male dominated business.

Beginning as the general manager of a professional tennis team at age 19 to owning a professional roller hockey team to being president of the Great Western Forum to vice president and then president of the Lakers, Jeanie Buss has seen and done a lot. As Lakers owner Jeanie Buss told me recently on the 'Tampering' podcast, the covert nature of it all was necessary for her to keep her brother and former Lakers executive Jim Buss from wrestling away controlling interest of the franchise. I only say that because I posed in Playboy," Buss said on the " Daddy Issues" podcast with Joe Buck and Oliver Hudson. After her father died in 2013, his 66% controlling ownership of the Lakers passed to his six children via a trust, with each child receiving an equal vote. According to Buss, the team did not go through a public interview process to hire a GM because she did not want to tip off her brother, as the siblings were in a legal battle over control of the team.Lakers owner Jeanie Buss said young professionals who dream of one day being in her position shouldn't necessarily follow her career path. Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has not hesitated to open up about her Playboy appearance back in the 1990s in a recent interview.

Born in Santa Monica, California, [1] Buss was the third of four children to Joann and Jerry Buss, and one of two daughters; she grew up with older brothers Johnny and Jim and younger sister Janie. We all have our individual journeys to self-acceptance; posing for Playboy was an important part of mine. It felt invasive to me, and that was if I was asking someone eating their dinner to sign a napkin or a baseball card.

Throughout her stint with the Forum, her role with the Lakers increased, and she served as the Alternate Governor on the NBA Board of Governors since 1995. The distribution for WOW marks the largest media distribution platform for women's wrestling in history.
