The Los Angeles Lakers Background
The Los Angeles Lakers are a National Basketball Association (NBA) team based in Los Angeles, California. The Lakers play their home games at Staples Center, which they share with their fellow cross town NBA rival, the Los Angeles Clippers, and their sister team, the
Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA. Basketball expert John Hollinger of ESPN ranked the Lakers as the greatest NBA franchise of all time.
The Lakers franchise was founded in 1946 in Detroit,
Michigan before moving to Minneapolis,
where the team got its official title from the states nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes." The Lakers won five championships before relocating to Los
Angeles in the 1960–61 season. The Lakers lost all of their eight appearances in the NBA Finals in the 1960s, despite having help from Elgin
Baylor and Jerry West. In 1972, the Lakers won their sixth title, first in Los Angeles, under coach Bill Sharman.
The Lakers popularity soared in the 1980s when they won five additional championships during a nine-year span with the leadership of Hall of Famers Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy
and coach Pat Riley, the franchises all-time leader in regular season game wins and playoff games coached and wins.
Two of those championships during that span were against their arch-rivals, the Boston Celtics. From 2000 to 2002, the Lakers won three titles consecutively with
the help of Shaquille ONeal, Kobe Bryant, and Hall of Fame coach Phil Jackson. After losing both the 2004 and 2008 NBA Finals, the Lakers captured the championship for the 15th time in 2009, defeating the Orlando Magic four games to one.
The Lakers hold records for having (at the end of the 2008–09 season) the most wins (2,970), the highest winning percentage (61.7%), the most NBA Finals appearances (30), the second fewest non-playoff seasons with five (San Antonio Spurs have four), and the second-most NBA championships with 15, behind the Boston Celtics 17. They also hold the record for compiling the longest consecutive
win streak (33) in U.S. professional team sports (also an NBA record) in the 1971–72 season.
14 Hall of Famers have played for the Lakers, while four Hall of Famers (John Kundla, Bill Sharman, Pat Riley and Phil Jackson) have coached the team. Four Lakers (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Shaquille ONeal and
Kobe Bryant) have won the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) award for a total of 8 MVP awards.
