The Los Angeles Lakers are perhaps the most iconic franchise in NBA history. Starting out in Minneapolis in 1948, the Lakers were immediately the best team in the NBA, riding All-Star center George Mikan to championships in 1949, '50, '52, '53 and '54. Though Los Angeles won just one title in the 1960s and '70s, they were still an elite team—led by superstars like Elgin Baylor, Gail Goodrich, Jerry West and later Wilt Chamberlain. The 1980s were highlighted by the Showtime Lakers, who won five titles with superstars Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and James Worthy. With Kobe Bryant, the Lakers again were at the top of the basketball world starting in the late-1990s. Bryant teamed with Shaquille O'neal to win three championships in the early 2000s before winning another two after O'neal left. Though making the playoffs in the NBA isn't quite what it is in the NFL or MLB, a testament to the Lakers' excellence is that they have missed postseason play just five times in the franchise's 65 years. Los Angeles has retired the numbers of seven players to commemorate their impact on the franchise. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Los Angeles Lakers basketball tickets.
