Los Angeles Lakers Background

The Los Angeles Lakers is considered as one of the NBA’s outstanding teams. The franchise was first known as Detroit Gems in 1946, owned by C. King Boring. Detroit Gems played in the National Basketball League. Ben Berger together with Morris Chalfen soon bought the franchise and relocated it to Minneapolis in 1947. The name of the team as Minneapolis Lakers was derived from the state Minnesota, which is known as the “Land of 10,000 Lakes”.

In 1948, as the team moved to the Basketball Association of America, they won the 1948-49 BAA Championship and the season was considered as one of Lakers’ pride. As the National Basketball League and the Basketball Association of America merged into the present National Basketball Association, the Minneapolis Lakers became the champion during the 1949-1950 season. The Lakers defeated the Syracuse Nationals in Game 1, Game 3, Game 4 and Game 6. Lakers gained a score of 110-95 in game 6 that made them Champions for the first National Basketball Association Finals. In addition to this, the Los Angeles Lakers was the first team in NBA history who won five championships in six years.

Before the 1960-61 season, the team moved to Los Angeles with Hall of Famers such as Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and Gail Goodrich. During the 1975-76 season, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was one of the remarkable players of the Los Angeles Lakers who was awarded as Most Valuable Player of the season. Ervin “Magic” Johnson was picked in 1979 that led to the rebirth of victory for Lakers.

The Los Angeles Lakers, led by their coach Pat Riley, ruled the 1980s as they appeared in the finals eight times in the decade. The team won the NBA Finals five times with the 1979-80, 1981-82, 1984-85, 1986-87 as well as the 1987-88 NBA seasons. In the 1996-97 off-season, Los Angeles Lakers obtained Kobe Bryant from the Charlotte Hornets as well as Shaquille O’Neal from the Orlando Magic. Both played successfully as new L.A. Lakers players, and that led the team to championships in 1999. The excellent teamwork of the Lakers and the outstanding leadership of Phil Jackson brought the team to achieve the victory of three consecutive NBA Finals of 1999-2000, 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 seasons.

By 2004, Shaquille O’Neal was traded to the Miami Heat and Phil Jackson temporarily retired. In 2005, Phil Jackson returned while Kobe Bryant, as the team’s Captain, continues to lead the Los Angeles Lakers as a professional NBA team.

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.
