Los Angeles Lakers Past and Present News

Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns are about to face each other in this coming NBA season. Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns are two of the hottest and finest teams in the NBA today. The two teams were both playing in Western Conference of the NBA. The two are not known to be long time rivals. The Los Angeles Lakers are known to be a long time rival of Boston Celtics, while Phoenix Suns are known to have developed team rivalry with two of the most competitive teams in the NBA, namely the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks. However, the two teams, Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns, since the coming back of Steve Nash as a point guard to his debut team, Phoenix Suns, became rivals against each other. During the last match-up between Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers won over Phoenix Suns; the game ended with Los Angeles Lakers making 114 final score and Phoenix Suns making 106 final score. The game between Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns was held in Los Angeles Lakers' home court, Staples Center, located at 1111 S. Figueroa Street Los Angeles, California.

The game between Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns can be considered as one of the best games ever played by Los Angeles Lakers this season. It is by far a game that showed a lot of teamwork made by players of the Los Angeles Lakers. Though Los Angeles Lakers' star player Kobe Bryant, and co-team members starting forward-center Kwame Brown and starting center Chris Mihm, did not play the game because of injury; the Los Angeles Lakers still managed to win against the elite team of Phoenix Suns. Because of injuries by Kwame Brown (shoulder) and Chris Mihm (ankle), Coach Phil Jackson let Andrew Bynum play the starting center. Because of the injury suffered by three starting players of Lakers, fans speculated Phoenix Suns to defeat Los Angeles Lakers. However, these speculations were reversed when Lamar Odom exploded and led his team to victory, scoring 34 points. Lamar Odom also added to his statistics an outstanding 13 rebounds and 6 assists. Lamar Odom was not expected to spark in the game during the early part of the game; Lamar Odom played slow and also took some bad shots. However, his explosion came in the blink of an eye, paving the way to the team's success. The other players who helped Lamar Odom to beat Phoenix Suns are Andrew Bynum, Maurice Evans, and Smush Parker. Coach Phil Jackson's instinct of giving Andrew Bynum a break to become one of the starting players to Los Angeles Lakers compensated the team. Los Angeles Lakers' 19-year-old Andrew Bynum scored a total of 18 points. Not to mention, the young center also contributed 9 rebounds in the entire game. Maurice Evans also contributed 17 points for his team. Los Angeles Lakers' point guard Smush Parker also made an outstanding 7 assists and 3 steals. Vladimir Radmanović also contributed 1 block for his team. On the other hand, Phoenix Suns' guard Leandro Barbosa almost surpassed Lamar Odom by making 30 points and 3 steals. Phoenix Suns' co-captain Kurt Thomas made an admirable 8 rebounds. The team's Captain Steve Nash (two time NBA Most Valuable Player in years 2005 and 2006), played his usual game with 15 points and 13 assists. Shawn Marion added to the team his 16 points and 7 rebounds. The game was considered as one of the best this season. Even though the Phoenix Suns lost the game, they accepted it. During an interview, Shawn Marion stated that "Lakers played like a team tonight," he also added, "we lost our defense and their momentum started to stir up." Kobe Bryant sitting on the bench was so proud of what his team had shown up against the Phoenix Suns. The game was filled with a non-stop back-to-back court action. Fans were so impressed from what they saw with Lamar Odom. Fans who have watched the games were greatly entertained. Staples Center was filled with shouting voices of fans screaming for their team. The game between Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns became a stepping stone for Lamar Odom to prove that he is one of the toughest players in the league today.

Watch Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns as they show to everyone who really is the king of the 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 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 Magic and newly-drafted Kobe Bryant from HS. 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.
