Joey Buss runs D-Fenders to prepare for Lakers’ management

Among the highlights of my interview with D-Fenders CEO Joey Buss:

-- How he hopes the fourth season in overseeing the D-Fenders will help prepare him for a role in Lakers’ management.

-- The idea behind the D-Fenders playing their homes games at Toyota Sports Center instead of Staples Center.

-- What impact the move has made.

-- The team’s success in the 2011-12 season.

-- How he’s driven to prove he’s not just a silver spooner living off the success of his father, Jerry Buss, who owns the Lakers.
