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.

This was an incredible event, and the Staples Center Premium seats I purchased were top notch. I had seats across from Jack, and simply put, had an unforgettable time.
We were there & we saw it all happen, the Lakers did it & we had a great time watching it all go down, GO LAKERS in 09-10 season.
Even though the Lakers lost this game, it was still an exciting day. Staples Center is one of he best venues to see any event, especially the LAKERS. Great location now with LA LIVE, I had dinner at ESPN Zone, walked right across to the Staples Center, and even came out on the channel 9 news that evening....
This was the most exciting game of the Conference finals so of course I highly recommend it! And sitting near the court is a must..worth every penny.
Amazing players. Amazing game. Amazing seats. Couldn't ask for more. Even tho they didn't win the experience was amazing. Wouldn't have missed it for the world!
It was one of the best games i have ever been to with the Lakers taking the victory over the nuggets. And the Lakers winning the championship made every game i attended this past year worth so much more. Can't wait for next season! BACK TO BACK!!!!!!
Love Lakers .. We rule ! I know we are going for another championships :)
the game was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoyed every min. the game was so exciting and amazing and it went down to the last second.
Awesome game and atmoshphere. Lakers take game one on a last minute steal by Trevor Ariza. At the same time the American Idol finals were being held at the Nokia accross the street. After the game, the streets in the area were closed and we were all just walking around celebrating.
Playoff games are the best games to go watch live.
I loved my time at the Laker game! Lakers Rock! My son and I had a great time, and I enjoyed seeing Kobe in person, and all the other players and stars in the audience. What a great night!
The game was unbeleavable. I took my Dad and My little brother who are also Big Laker Fans and were so amazed when I told them that I was taking them. The Chills you get when you are there rooting for your team is are to explain...You just get the best feeling!!!!
Very nice event and the seats we doable but the Lakers are expensive.
Excellent game, seating, price.Everthing you could ask for. Lakers 2009 NBA Champs!!!!!!!
It was a different type of excitement. It is so different from being at a regular basketball game.
The atmosphere was awesome. From 30 min. before tip off you could feel the intensity and fan's emotion. It was loud. The seats, of course, being in the 300 section were high, but you still had a nice view. The playoffs are the best time to go to the Laker Games. I found it easier to purchase tickets then it was during the season and I did not have to pay an arm and a leg like in Stub Hub or from a Broker.
Well I was very lucky to be able to find a seat for the 2nd round match-up of the NBA playoffs between the World Champion Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets. I was very pleased with the seat location and you really can't find a bad seat in the house at Staples Center. The game itself was awesome as the Lakers won the series and went to the Western Conference Finals and eventually became the CHAMPS!!!
great time... tickets were good view was unobstructed. the extra bonus for the lakers playoff games was all the free bee's every 1st game of each round we got t-shirts and other games we got either fome number 1 finger...laker flags..
Game seven, no brainer, Houston had a great year considering the injuries, but the Lake-show had 'bigger fish to fry'. Eat that Raja Bell.
Defining game for Lakers in the NBA Playoffs. Seats were on the Aisle. Lakers didn't look so good in 1st quarter but fought back to tie and iced the game with Ariza's steal and Kobe's late free throws.
