Got that notification too. Hope the best for both of them. Long distance relationships are so difficult.
"Jeanie would later respond to Jackson’s tweet saying that she couldn’t give her undivided attention to both Jackson and the Lakers: Follow Jeanie Buss ✔@JeanieBuss The love of my life is the Los Angeles Lakers. I love Phil & will always. It's not fair to him or Lakers to not have my undivided attention" That's right... PRIORITIES!
I mean, I'm kinda surprised it took this long. Who has a 4 year engagement? Either get married or do the committed relationship thing without paperwork, don't pretend like you're gonna make it official. That's not even accounting for the years of dating before that engagement, and that Phil is almost 70, if you can't commit at that age when can you.
With this we can finally end the talks of Phil coming back and more importantly hopefully start rebuilding the Buss family without outside interference. I'm glad Jeanie chose the Lakers over her absentee fiance who fled literally across the country for a crappy job.
they had been together for 17 years. pretty sure they lost the right to call each other engaged after that long i got the notification and all i saw was "phil jackson and lakers..." and my jaw dropped before i opened it. this is good because now phil has no connections to the lakers and we can finally put aside those stupid rumours of him coming back
I was hoping for a Lebron "the decision" type of press conference for big news like this! :Mitchthumb:
