Bob Iger, one of the incoming ownership figures for the Los Angeles Lakers, previously said he is a longtime fan of the city’s other NBA team, the Los Angeles Clippers, according to Yahoo Sports.
The reports note that before becoming involved with the Lakers, Iger publicly discussed following the Clippers. The framing differs slightly between outlets, with some emphasizing that he is an “admitted longtime Clippers fan” and others describing it as an earlier personal admission to being a fan of the “other” Los Angeles team.
Across the sources, the shared point is that Iger’s past comments place him in support of the Clippers rather than the Lakers, even as he now joins the Lakers’ ownership group.
