The Los Angeles Lakers long-time owner Jerry Buss is losing his battle with cancer and players like Metta World Peace are speaking out with well wishes in a video interview obtained by Breaking Celebrity News.

"I wish I could talk about him, but I don't think I'm allowed to right now," Metta said in an interview outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. on Friday.

"He's a great owner. He put together great times and we love him."

As Breaking Celebrity News exclusively reported on Thursday, Jerry, 79, is currently at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and is expected to be in his final days, surrounded by family and friends.

Late Thursday night Laker's star Kobe Bryant also gave a shout out to Jerry tweeting, "We all LOVE our Dr B!!"

Not completely unrelated - but it's a stretch - Metta was asked whether or not he'd be getting a baby present for his former Laker teammate Lamar Odom's sister-in-law, Kim Kardashian.
