The team of Los Angeles Lakers is one of the most famous and successful teams today. In their early years, Lakers was recorded to have won 14 NBA titles. The team started their career in the year 1946 as Detroit gems. In the year 1947, after Ben Berger and Morris Chalfen bought the team, they changed its name from Detroit Gems to Minneapolis Lakers. Later, after a period of 13 years, in the year 1960, the team moved in Los Angeles and again changed their name to Los Angeles Lakers. The notable players who played under Lakers are the following:

These notable players are the reason for the Lakers’ past successes, which made them famous around the world. Today the team is headed by one of the greatest coaches of all time, The Zen Master, or popularly known as Coach Phil Jackson. Head coach Phil Jackson was a former coach of Michael Jordan in Chicago Bulls. When he left the Bulls, he swore never to coach again. However, the offer to coach the team of Los Angeles Lakers came to him in the year 1999. After taking several months of vacation, he decided to give Lakers a try. Soon after, Los Angeles Lakers found themselves in a 67-15 standing during the regular season. Coach Phil Jackson also gave the team 3 consecutive NBA championships in the year 1999 up to 2004. The team of Los Angeles Lakers is today composed of the following:

1. Brown, Kwame (Forward/Center) no.54
2. Bryant, Kobe ( Shooting Guard/Team Captain) no.24
3. Bynum, Andrew (Center) no.17

Though the team of Lakers is a strong opponent, Indiana Pacers is willing to match them. The team of Indiana Pacers was homed in Conseco Fieldhouse, located in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. The team started their career in the early year of 1967, playing in the American Basketball Association. In the year 1967, the team was invited to join NBA. The team struggled so hard in NBA that time. After a long period of time that they were playing in The NBA, they only appeared once in the play-offs that took place in 1980-81. However, in the year 1986-87, Chuck Person led the team to another play-off. Sadly, the team got lost against the Atlanta Hawks.

The coming of Reggie Miller into the team in the year 1987 was considered a big advantage for the Pacers. Reggie Miller is one of the greatest 3-point shooters in the history of NBA. He spent his 18-year basketball career with Indiana Pacers before retiring. His years are now over and are just a part of the greatest highlights of Indiana Pacers. However, the legacy of his work is being continued by the players in the roster of Indiana Pacers today. The roster of Indiana Pacers is composed of the following:

1. Armstrong, Darrell (Point Guard) no.24
2. Baston, Maceo (Power Forward/Center) no.9
3. Daniels, Marquis (Shooting Guard) no.6
4. Foster, Jeff (Center) no.10
5. Granger, Danny (Small Forward) no.33
6. Greene, Orien (Point Guard/Shooting Guard) no.5
7. Harrington, Al (Power Forward) no.32
8. Harrison, David (Center) no.13
9. Jackson, Stephen (Shooting Guard) no.1
10.Jasikevicius, Sarunas (Point Guard) no.3
11.Marshall, Rawle (Shooting Guard/Small Forward) no.2
12.O'Neal, Jermaine (Power Forward/Center/Team Captain) no.7
13.Powell, Josh (Power Forward) no.22
14.Tinsley, Jamaal (Point Guard) no.11
15.Williams, Shawne (Small Forward) no.4

The game between these two teams is sure to be one of the hottest games of the year. Watch them as they show everyone who really is the king of the hard court.

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 Boston Celtics, 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.
