When Jerry Buss bought the Lakers from Jack Kent-Cooke in 1980, he didn't like the attendance at games. Yes, the Lakers were winning Basketball games and were favorites to compete in the Finals. But Buss wanted basketball fans to be able to come in and get ALL of their money's worth, not just the game itself. So he created the Laker girls to add some glitz and glamour to the normal routine of a basketball game. Others would soon follow suite, but Buss gets credit for bringing around the first pro basketball cheerleaders.
