Team History
The Lakers began in 1944 when Ben Berger and Morris Chalfen bought the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League for $15,000. The team was relocated to Minneapolis for the 1947 season. 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 three other NBL teams in jumping to the Basketball Association of America, where they promptly won the 1948-49 BAA championship. The NBL and the 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, 1954).
After their move to Los Angeles in 1960, the team would go on to feature 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 the Lakers 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, the Lakers weren't able to win another championship until the arrival of Earvin "Magic" Johnson in 1979, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers in the 1980 championship series.(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 (4 with Riley as coach after replacing Paul Westhead, under whom they won in 1980), 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 off-season, the Lakers signed Shaquille O'Neal and acquired rookie 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.
After failing to defend their title for two consecutive years in 2003 and 2004, O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat and Jackson was not brought back to coach the team for the 2005-06 season. The Lakers had a lackluster season in their first rebuilding year in 2004-05 and failed to make the playoffs. Jackson returned for the following season, and the Bryant-led team returned to the postseason, losing to the Phoenix Suns in the first round in 2005-06 after going up 3 games to 1. The team finished 42-40 in the 2006-07 NBA season, Jackson's worst record of his coaching career, and again they were beaten by the Phoenix Suns in the first round of the playoffs. The 2007-2008 season began the re-emergence of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise as the young center Andrew Bynum gave Los Angeles the inside presence to complement Kobe Bryant's perimeter threat. Other young and talented players the Lakers had brought on to the team since the loss in the finals in 2004 began contributing to the team's success. After a season ending injury to Andrew Bynum, in Feburary 2008 the Lakers traded Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittenton, Aaron Mckie, the draft rights to Marc Gasol, and two first round draft picks to the Memphis Grizzlies for Pau Gasol and second round draft choice. After the trade, the Lakers went on to clinch the no. 1 seed in the Western Conference. They first defeated the Denver Nuggets in four games, the Utah Jazz in six games, and within five games had dethroned the defending champion, San Antonio Spurs. They entered the NBA Finals to face their historic rivals whom they hadn't met in the finals since 1987, the Boston Celtics. The Lakers eventually lost the series in 6 games, in a blowout loss in the final game.
