Los Angeles Lakers History
The Lakers are one of the most storied franchises in all of sports. They boast 19 conference titles, 35 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.

Flew from Houston to Hollywood,Ca and then went to watch the Thunder vs Lakers play. My 1st time ever in the Staple Center. Loved the atmosphere, great seats with a great view and Durant & Thunder comeback was even greater. I guess that's what the lakers organization get when they put all they money into one player. It's a team sport. One man go down and the team is discombobulated. Smh.
First when I arrived Staples Center I was really happy and shocked. I had never seen like this hall. It is very big and full of people. I think I will love the Basketball games because of this hall. There are many restaurants and open area for eating and smoking or relaxing. I will go there again but this time with my friends.
Enjoyed the Sunday afternoon game of Bulls vs Lakers. Being from Chicago originally, it was good to see the Bulls out here.
Amazing show! Good sits, funny show! Too much injured players for the Lakers, but good match! Good people around us. The Staple center is "la Mecca" for basketball and if you visit Los Angeles don't forget to stop here!
It would have been a 5 had Kobe shown up. It just wasn't the same.
Expensive ticket for second string basketball. Was hoping kobe and derrick rose would be back when tickets were purchased. My boyfriend is huge sports fan and I found him sitting looking bored.
If you like basketball and you are in the area, this is something you really would like to experience.
It was a bummer that the game was a bust. Lakers lost. The center was awesome and was really spectacular.
Great game ,,parking was super easy, free bobble head night. Everyone in our group enjoyed themselves.
Excelent! Tthanks. Good seats. Godo attention of personal needs.
Unforgettable and a very good event. Very good program.
EVEN THOUGH OUR TEAM DIDN'T WIN..THE ATMOSPHERE WAS AWESOME!! LOVED THE EXPERIENCE!
It was a very fun game even though they lost, but then again they've been losing all season.
Cramped arm room and no signs to help guide you around the exits to find the streets or trains.
The Staples Center is a beautiful arena. The concessions were rather pricey, but expected.
I enjoyed the game and the Lakers beanie given to each attendee. I took my cousin and two friends and each had a good time and were excited to attend. All of us would attend again. It was the perfect way to spend Christmas.
Very good atmosphere, fun, safe, well organized and very easy to get around. The game was perfect amount of adrenaline !!!
I absolutely loved this game. Came all the way from Wales in the UK so see it and it didn't disappoint. Awesome atmosphere!! Could watch basketball all day long... Bit gutted Kobe wasn't playing & that they lost in the end but I had a brilliant night and would defiantly go again. Bought a lovely new black Jersey now too that I'll wear with pride knowing I was actually at a game. Made my Week.
Love going ot Staples for a Lakers game, win or lose. Great to go into LA for a day!
Seeing the Lakers in person was phenomenal!!! They played great and the crowd was electric. We would love to go back.
