The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most infamous basketball team in the history of the NBA. The Lakers hold one of the largest number of records in the entire league. Many famous names, in the NBA, have - at one time - played for the Los Angeles Lakers. Fame did not come with the name. It was a long road, for players and staff, to reach their goal of greatness.
The Los Angeles Lakers did not always perform with high scoring games. They won some, they lost some, and you just never knew how they were going to play on any given day.
The Los Angeles Lakers were originally founded in 1946 and were located in Detroit, Michigan. After this, they moved onto to Minneapolis, Minnesota. At this point, in their history, is when they won five championships, and things began to look up for the team.
It was not until 1960 when the Lakers moved to Los Angeles, giving them their infamous name of the Los Angeles Lakers. This was a rough 10 years for the team, as they could not win enough games to qualify for finals - not even once.
In the 1970's, things did not look much better for the Lakers. They did win a title, but other than that, nothing big happened.
Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar began playing, for the Lakers, in the 1980's. Coached by Pat Riley, the Los Angeles Lakers won five championships. Additionally, they had a record high number of wins, in one given season, during this time.
Like any roller coaster, there was a down-slope coming. The 1990's proved to be an uneventful year for the Lakers. Not to say there was nothing to talk about, but compared to the 80's, nothing spectacular happened.
The 21st century was where it all began for the Lakers. Well-known players, like Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, played for the Lakers this year. A Hall of Fame coach by the name of Phil Jackson is coaching them through each season. Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right as they have already won five NBA finals, this century.
The upturn, in events, over the past years, has captivated the hearts of thousands of fans. Fans dedicated enough to follow the Lakers around, pay for the best seats in the stadium, and support them through the trials they have continued to endure.
At the end of their most recent season, the Lakers held one of the highest number of records in NBA history. One of which was given to them for having the highest number of wins, ever, at over 2,900 wins.
They also hold records for the highest percentage (60%) of won games and appearing in the Finals 29 times. One fete, for them personally, to beat is the number of championship wins held by their rivals - the Boston Celtics. The Lakers are only three championship wins away, but this would be a grand accomplishment for the team.
The combination of talent and coaching skill has brought the Lakers to a state of fame amongst NBA fans. The number of famous players, and coaches, that have been on the Lakers, is amazing. Lakers fans are not apt to leave their side anytime soon, especially if they keep up the astonishing playtime. - 16928
