Los Angeles Lakers Past and Present News

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to go up against the Charlotte Bobcats. The Lakers vs. Bobcats match-up will take place on the Bobcats home court at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena. This game is set to pit the relatively young Bobcats team against one of the NBA’s explosive teams.

The Los Angeles Lakers has always been one of the NBA’s premier teams. The Lakers outstanding achievements in the league has always been respected and feared by other teams. The Los Angeles Lakers franchise has been around since 1946, acquiring its name from Minneapolis, which is known as “the land of 10,000 lakes.” The Los Angeles Lakers franchise is such a force to be reckoned with in the league that the LA Lakers has only missed the NBA play-offs five times during the whole time of its existence.

The Los Angeles Lakers won’t be going into the game full force though as it’s starting forward, Lamar Odom, suffered a moderate medial collateral sprain of his right knee during the LA Lakers match against the Houston Rockets last December 12, 2006. The 7 year veteran Lamar Odom is a crucial player in the Lakers, averaging 17.5 points per game, 8.70 rebounds per game, and 4.9 assists per game. The Los Angeles Lakers forward from Rhode Island will not be playing for a minimum of four weeks to give his right knee time to recover from the injury.

The Los Angeles based team, however, still has the sensational guard, Kobe Bryant. Kobe Bryant is one of the NBA’s premier guards, averaging 27.9 points per game, 5.20 rebounds per game, and 4.7 assists per game. The Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant showed his undeniable talent where he showed his offensive prowess by scoring his season-high score of 53 points, along with 10 rebounds and 8 assists, against one of the NBA’s formidable teams, the Houston Rockets, winning the double overtime match 112-101 in favor of the Lakers last December 15, 2006. The 10-year pro guard from Lower Merion High School is the Los Angeles Lakers team captain.

Another threat in the LA Lakers roster is the Serbian forward Vladimir Radmanovic. The 5-year veteran from Serbia and Montenegro is a monstrous threat in the three point area. Los Angeles Lakers’ Vladimir “Radman” Radmanovic boasts a season average of .353 3pt percentage and a career average of .381 3 pt percentage. Vladimir Radmanovic’s impressive 3 pt acumen can best be pictured on the Los Angeles Lakers Game against The Los Angeles Clippers last December 2, 2006, where the talented Serbian forward made 2 out of 3 3-point attempts.

The Charlotte Bobcats joined the NBA on its 2004-05 season. The Charlotte Bobcats joined the league two years after the former Charlotte Hornets relocated to New Orleans in the 2002-03 season of the NBA. The major share holder of the Charlotte Bobcats is Robert L. Johnson. Other co-owners worth noting of the Charlotte Bobcats are the NBA legend Michael Jordan and rapper Nelly.

Charlotte’s home team has a roster of young athletes with the potential to make waves in the league. Perhaps the most notable in the Bobcats line-up is the sophomore center-forward, Chukwuemeka Noubuisi “Emeka” Okafor. This second overall pick of the 2004 NBA draft is the first draft pick of the Charlotte Bobcats franchise. Emeka Okafor is also the NBA 2004 rookie of the year and is also among the representatives of the US in the 2004 summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. Emeka Okafor is one of the best young centers in the NBA today, averaging 15.5 points per game, 10.40 rebounds per game, and is the league leader in blocks, averaging 3.1 blocks per game. His defensive presence is one to be reckoned with, putting up an excellent defensive effort by blocking 8 shots on the Charlotte Bobcats game against the Dallas Mavericks on the 20th of November.

The Bobcats juvenile line-up includes Raymond Felton, the 5th overall pick in the NBA 2005 draft. The promising point guard from Marion, South Carolina has an average of 13.0 points per game, 3.80 rebounds per game, and 5.8 assists per game.

Another formidable player in the Charlotte Bobcats line-up is the 9-year veteran guard, Brevin Knight. The 5’10” guard from Stanford shows that his somewhat limited height does not deter him to contribute in the Bobcats’ game. The Bobcats guard averages 12.2 points per game, 3.70 rebounds per game, and 7.2 assists per game. Brevin Knight is one of the league leaders in assists.

Yet another player to watch out for in the Bobcats line-up is the promising forward/center from North Carolina, Sean May. The 6’9” forward from North Carolina is the 13th overall pick on the 2005 NBA Draft. Charlotte Bobcats’ forward-center averages 12.6 points per game, 6.70 rebounds per game, and 1.8 assists per game.

Rookie Forward Adam Morrison is not one to be taken lightly in the Bobcats roster. The 6’8” forward from Gonzaga is a veritable offensive threat, averaging 13.7 points per game, 3.00 rebounds per game, and 1.9 assists per game. Charlotte Bobcats’ Adam Morrison is also a threat in the 3-point lane, having a .373 3pt percentage. Morrison shows hunger for the basket, scoring 22 points against the Orlando Magic on their game last December 14, 2006; 22 points against the New Jersey Nets last Nov 28; 27 points against Miami Heat on November 25, 2006, 26 points against the Boston Celtics last November 22, 2006; and 27 points against the San Antonio Spurs last November 15, 2006. Alan Morrison was also awarded as the rookie of the month for November because of his impressive performance for the said month.

Yet another player that should not be looked over in the Charlotte Bobcats line-up is the explosive Gerard Wallace. The 5-year veteran from Alabama averages 10.5 points per game, 4.90 rebounds per game, and 1.7 assists per game. The talented forward is more than capable of giving problems for the other team’s defense, as he displayed in the Bobcats’ game against the Milwaukee Bucks on the 26th of October, 2006, where Gerard Wallace put up an impressive 29 point game to help the Bobcats secure a 126-124 win against the Bucks.

The Lakers began in 1946 when Ben Berger and Morris Chalfen bought the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League for $15,000 and relocated it to Minneapolis. As the Gems had by far the worst record in the NBL, the Lakers had the first pick in the 1947 dispersal draft of players from the Professional Basketball League of America, which they used to select George Mikan, later to become arguably the greatest center of his time. With Mikan, new coach John Kundla and an infusion of former University of Minnesota players, the Lakers won the NBL championship in that 1947-48 season and joined four other NBL teams in jumping to the Basketball Association of America, where they promptly won the 1948-49 BAA championship. The NBL and BAA merged to become the NBA in 1949. The Minneapolis Lakers were one of the dominant teams of the fledgling NBA. With Hall of Famers George Mikan, Vern Mikkelsen, Jim Pollard, Slater Martin, and Clyde Lovellette, they were the NBA's first "dynasty", winning five championships in six years (1949, 1950, 1952, 1953, and 1954). After their move to Los Angeles in 1960, the team featured Hall of Famers Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Gail Goodrich, and Wilt Chamberlain, but despite the wealth of talent, they were repeatedly foiled by the Charlotte Bobcats, losing the championship to them six times in eight years. It wasn't until 1972 when they strung together a record 33-game win streak under Coach of the Year Bill Sharman that they were able to secure their first championship in Los Angeles. However, even with the addition of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, they weren't able to win another championship until the arrival of Ervin "Magic" Johnson in 1979, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers thanks to an MVP performance by the rookie Johnson, who, starting for the injured Abdul-Jabbar, had 42 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 assists to clinch the series. Under coach Pat Riley, a former Laker player, the Lakers then went on to dominate the 1980s, appearing in the finals eight times in the decade and being crowned champions five times, including consecutive championships in 1987 and 1988, the first team to do so since Boston in 1969. Although they made another finals appearance in 1991, they spent most of the 1990s fielding teams that were not considered legitimate title contenders. However, during the 1996-1997 off-season, the Lakers acquired Shaquille O'Neal from the Orlando Magic and newly-drafted Kobe Bryant from the Charlotte Hornets. Following the hiring of Phil Jackson as head coach in 1999, the team returned to championship form; led by O'Neal, Bryant, and a talented supporting cast, the Lakers won three consecutive NBA Finals from 2000-02. Most recently, the Lakers endured a series of off-the-court problems, largely the result of friction among O'Neal, Bryant, and Jackson. In 2004, O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat and Jackson temporarily retired. After the Lakers struggled in 2004-05, Jackson returned for the following season, and the Bryant-led team returned to the postseason, losing to the Phoenix Suns in the first round.
