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 dominated the league again starting in the 1999–00 season, this time led by the legendary duo of Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant. They won three consecutive titles, 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.
The team won its most recent NBA Finals in 2020 in the NBA Bubble, following the postponement of the 2019-20 NBA Season, led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

A fantastic experience since I come around the Crypto arena, the staff organize us, guide us to reach the entrance and to access to our seat. Every staff was very helpfull and very kind. The show, the match, all that I had been expected. Is a fantastic show, and a fantastic experience.
We had an amazing time. Thanks LBJ and congrats on 39k!
Great seats, great fans who catered to us (my son is special needs). Overall amazing experience.
Easy ticket exchange and experience was a once in a life time , will. E telling everyone in Australia about this
I loved it they gave out free laker hats at the trailblazers game in Los Angeles but finding parking took a while but that’s ok. When we got there it was huge and there was so many fans there I recommend getting tickets even how expensive it can be. The food was expensive but the lady was so nice and charged us less money it was a great experience.
The venue is great, game and atmosphere was amazing, only downside is cost of food and drink and crazy queues.
It was raining all day but the facilities around the stadium was good and the game was enjoyable to watch. Crowd control was very good. I’d go again.
It was amazing stadium to see basketball. it is a iconic stadium in the history. easy to get in, comfortable beds. it could be, a bit expensive the beer.
Top 10 experience! Shame we didn’t get the dub but this was my first game and it was definitely worth it!
What’s with the music while they are dribbling? I really don’t like that. I hadn’t been at a live game for awhile but that immediately stuck out. It was tough driving there because of the fire. But everything else was ok.
Going to LOS ANGELES from Italy only to go to the Crypto Arena to see the Lakers live has been a “dream come true”! One of the TOP UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE in my life! Atmosphere uncomparable, super cool view, really close to the players: WHAT A GOOSE BUMP NIGHT! I wish I can do it again!!!
From Boston, big nba fan. How could seats be smaller than Fenway park. I am 6’’6 and had to leave.
It was our first time attending the Lakers and it was fantastic. The arena is really nice, it was easy to get in and we had great seats. The game had extra time, and finally the Lakers won. A perfect evening :)
Watching the NBA live and on TV is really a completely different experience. The atmosphere at the Lakers home court is really great!
My team played great and won the game the atmosphere was awesome. It was my first time being at the crypto.com center I will never forget my experience
Great seats, good parking, lot of fun. Never thought basketball can be such a good show
We came from out of town and had a great time. The Lakers and Suns put on a great show for the fans.
Seats were great not a bad seat in house. Entrance to get in a long line. There were 2 lines. 1 with bag checks and the other with no bags. I think everybody should just get bag checked to speed up the process of getting into the arena.
First time ever seeing a laker game,even a preseason game but thanks to our Pstb owners they took us to watch them !!will always remember this
It was awesome to see the Los Angeles Lakers play in the Desert!! Hopefully they return soon again!
