Bennett doesn't know who the person is, but Caresimo and Presti know both. Although this person is not amazing, he is famous in the industry and everyone knows that he is Bill Billman, who once founded the Celtic dynasty with Bob Cusi and Bill Russell.

In addition to being a legend of the Boston Celtics, he also has a deep relationship with another noble team in the league, that is, the Los Angeles Lakers. After retiring, he led different teams to win championships in the American Basketball League and the American Basketball Association, and then turned to his arch rival, Los Angeles Lakers, leading the team to the longest record of 33 consecutive victories and 69 wins in history, helping the team win the first championship to move to Los Angeles.

After resigning as head coach, he was transferred to the general manager of the Los Angeles Lakers and selected Magic Johnson for the team. During his previous general manager and team chairman, he brought five championships to the team. One-third of the gems on the Lakers championship throne was his contribution, and four of the sixteen Boston Celtics' 16 championships were related to him.

He is the only one who has a relationship with the two arch-rival teams of the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. Although he has resigned from all substantive positions, he still serves as an adviser to the Los Angeles Lakers and is considered one of the hidden bosses behind the Lakers.

"Hello Senior Bill, I'm so happy to see you. How did you find this place?" Stephen stood up hurriedly. Whether it's an old senior or a senior, Stephen had to show some respect to others. After hearing the title of senior, Presti and Carlesimo's face changed suddenly.

"Don't forget, I've been in Los Angeles for many years, and I'm very familiar with the streets and alleys here." Bill Schalman's beard and hair have turned white, but his body is still very healthy.

After he sat down, Stephen immediately introduced several people present to him: "This is Mr. Bennett, the owner of the Seattle Supersonics, this is Mr. Presti, and this is Mr. Carlesimo."

"I have seen the news. Mr. Presti is the new general manager of the Supersonics. He is indeed young and promising. Calesimo is an old acquaintance. Hello, it's very happy to see you." Bill Salman didn't say anything to Bennett, but spoke to Presti and Calesimo.

Both of them said they didn't dare. Although the other party's tone was a bit of a question about relying on their seniority, they were still in their age after all. They had this qualification. Although Bennett was not very happy, he knew that he could not argue with them, so he had to sit there without saying a word.

"Congratulations on winning the school again that can be recorded in history. I hope you can bring more honors to the school." After the greetings came to an end, Bill Schalman immediately turned to Stephen and said to Stephen.

"I hope so too." Stephen knew he was talking about the Finals Most Valuable Player. When he played, there was no selection of the Finals Most Valuable Player, so he did not win this award. Stephen was the first player from the University of Southern California to receive this honor, so the school also attached great importance to this honor. In the Trojans' Honor Showroom, Stephen held a large photo of the championship and the Finals Most Valuable Player Trophy in a very prominent position.

"I'm just here to chat with my little alumni, so it won't delay your affairs?" Bill Salman said to Presti and the others at this time. It's impossible for those who come to Stephen to directly negotiate the contract. Most of them are condoms and friendships. Then introduce their own team building ideas, lineup composition, and future plans. Bill Salman asked this, Presti and the others had to shake their heads and denied it. They didn't have the confidence to impress Stephen once. The current situation of the Supersonics is not very good after all.

After the five people sat there chatting for a while, they saw that it was impossible to achieve the purpose of communication today. Bennett took Presti and the others away with a look of hesitation. Of course, when facing Stephen, he naturally would not show such a look, but when facing Bill Salman, he would not have a good look. Of course, as the boss of the team, he did not need to consider Bill Salman's feelings. He only believed in the power of capital. No matter how famous the celebrity is, he would not work for others.

"Come on, I'll introduce you to a beautiful lady, who is also our alumni." After Presti and the others left and couldn't see anyone, Bill Salman smiled cunningly, and then waved to the outside. Stephen then noticed that there was a figure sitting inside the light yellow Beetle over there. After seeing Bill Salman wave, the other party opened the car door and walked out.

It turns out that she is a beautiful beauty. She seems to be a little older. Although she has a good figure, she obviously has no attraction to Stephen. Stephen doesn't know her either. However, at this time Bill Salman stood up and introduced to Stephen.

"This is Jenny Buss. When you hear the name Bass, do you know who she is?" Bill Schalman said to Stephen.

"Bass? Have the Bass family of the Lakers?" Stephen immediately thought of Jerry Bass' name. Jerry Bass' company controls the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Sparks, Los Angeles Laser Lights (Indoor Football Team), and indirectly controls the Los Angeles Kings (Ice Hockey Team). Since Los Angeles does not have a football team, the Los Angeles Haynaheim Angels of Major League Baseball is in Anaheim, nearly 30 kilometers away from Los Angeles, so the Bass family controls the entire sports market in Los Angeles.

Rugby is the largest sport in the United States, and Major League Baseball is closely behind. With the increase in global influence, with the strong commercial promotion of US professional basketball, and ice hockey can only be played in some cities, so basketball has become the third largest sport in the United States.

Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States and the economic and cultural center of the western region. Moreover, it is rich here, which is no less than New York. It can occupy the entire sports market in Los Angeles. The energy of the Bass family can be imagined.

Stephen shook hands with the other party politely. After introducing her identity, Stephen also thought that she was the senior vice president of commercial development of the Lakers and the girlfriend of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson. I heard that Jerry Bass, the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, has not taken any attention for a long time. Could it be that she is now the Lakers who are in charge of their own home?

Stephen naturally knew the purpose of the other party. It was nothing more than trying to choose the Lakers, but whether he could coexist with Kobe is a big question. Through the separation and collapse of a super luxurious lineup like the "Four Heavenly Kings", especially after Malone was forced to retire on the charge of teasing Kobe's wife, it can be seen that Kobe does not allow anyone to threaten his status in the team. This team is his own team, even Phil Jackson is no exception. If Kobe is not supported by senior management, how could it be possible?

But if Kobe was behind the scenes, how could she allow Kobe to drive away her boyfriend? Is it really a health factor? No one can believe this excuse. Stephen believes that it is absolutely not that simple. He doesn't plan to attack others again, at least it is the right to divide the ball and speak. However, with Stephen's understanding of Kobe, he should not be a generous person.

"I am also a member of Trojans and are very familiar with your aunt Shi Xianghua. We usually call each other sisters. After her health problems, I also recommended a doctor to her. I heard that she has recovered well recently." As soon as Jenny Buss came up, he used a few words to bring the relationship between the two to a very close point.

If she was also an alumnus of the University of Southern California, then as her status, it would be normal to be a Trojan, and her status would definitely be higher than Stephen. What Stephen didn't know was that Jenny Bass was also one of the directors of Southern California, but judging from her words, her relationship with her aunt was not much different even if she was not as close as she said.

"Hey, Senior Bill? Senior Jenny? Why are you here?" Coupard ran out of the room with sweat all over his body, and jumped into the swimming pool without even looking. After he came out of the pool, he saw Bill Sharman and Jenny Buss. However, Coupard was not like Stephen. He knew both of them and immediately said in surprise.

"Are you Coopard? Why are you here?" Seeing this big black man with blocky muscles, Jenny Buss didn't recognize him at first. After she recognized him, she immediately frowned and a warning light flashed across her face. This guy seemed to be a Clippers player. Could it be that the Clippers sent to lobby?

Although the Lakers have a brilliant history and a heavy historical precipitation, some people are unwilling to play under such heavy burdens. They would rather create a new history. The Clippers are also in Los Angeles. If other factors are eliminated and Stephen only wants to stay in Los Angeles to play, it is normal to choose the Clippers. These two historical Lakers have reached a low point. The Clippers immediately responded to the situation and caused a lot of trouble to the Lakers. If they get Stephen again, it would be even worse. Jenny Buss immediately made up his mind that if the Lakers can't get Stephen, then they must also prevent the Clippers from getting Stephen.
