Los Angeles Lakers History

The Lakers are one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. They boast 19 conference titles, 33 division titles and 17 NBA Championships. The franchise started in 1947 as the Minneapolis Lakers in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and predated the official founding of the NBA. At the time, the Lakers were a member of the National Basketball League (NBL). They moved to the Basketball Association of America (BAA) prior to the 1948–49 season. After that season, the NBL and BAA merged to form the NBA. The Lakers dominated the newly formed NBA, winning five of the first six NBA Championships.

Two big decisions in 1960 altered the future of the franchise. First, they selected Jerry West with the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft. Then, the franchise moved to Los Angeles in the same offseason, becoming the NBA's first West Coast team. After several trips to the NBA Finals and trading for Wilt Chamberlain, the Lakers won the NBA Championship in 1971–72, an amazing season that included a 33-game win streak, which is still the NBA record for most consecutive wins. West would go on to become a Hall of Famer, and his silhouette is featured as the NBA's logo.

The Lakers' next era of dominance began in 1979, when they selected Earvin "Magic" Johnson with the No. 1 overall pick. Johnson's unrivaled passing ability allowed the Lakers to play with an up-tempo style that became known as "Showtime." Led by Johnson and fellow Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers won the NBA Championship in Johnson's rookie season and a total of five titles during the '80s.

The Lakers were led to three consecutive titles between 2000 and 2002 by the legendary duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, including a run through the 2000–01 playoffs that saw them lose just one game in four series. The franchise entered a short rebuilding period after trading O'Neal in 2004, but Bryant led the Lakers to three consecutive NBA Finals appearances once again, starting in the 2007–08 season. They lost to the Celtics in their first appearance, but responded by winning the next two championships, the second of which came in seven games against the Celtics.

Following the postponement of the 2019-20 NBA season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team won its most recent NBA Finals in 2020 in the NBA Bubble behind Finals MVP LeBron James and All-Star forward Anthony Davis. In 2023, the Lakers won the inaugural NBA in-season tournament.

  • Great evening!

    Visiting from Paris (France), we wanted to have the Lakers experience while in town. It was really great, we had a good time (even though we lost ahah)! The only downside was definitely the chairs!! We were section 306 and to be honest they just suck!!! We came the day before for Disney on Ice with front row seats and we definitely felt the difference! Will stick to front row next time (because there will definitely be a next time!) :)

  • Overall a great experience!

    We were always going to see a Lakers game while visiting LA. The atmosphere was incredible and the game was entertaining and exciting. We also bought merchandise and are so happy with our jackets and jerseys! Unfortunately we had a horrible experience trying to access the two free tacos from jack in the box for a lakers win. We left the restaurant with nothing tacos at all. The staff were so difficult and lakers would probably be better off seeking a different sponsor. We will never be going to jack in the box again while we are here. We did find fat sals across the road with outstanding service and much better food to offer!

    by Neil on 10/9/24Acrisure Arena at Greater Palm Springs - Palm DesertRating: 5 out of 5

    We travelled from Australia to watch the game. The venue was excellent with all seats having a great view. Access to food, drinks and restrooms was easy. I loved all the food options outside. No waiting for drinks and food either.

  • Fantastic

    Lakers and Suns game was the best ever. I love both teams. I got to see history in the making for NBA. James and James Jr. both playing in the same game. I was sooo happy. Great time in the Desert, safe and not as crowded.
