Initially a member of the NBL, the Lakers won the 1948 NBL championship before joining the rival Basketball Association of America, where they would win five of their next six championships after changing leagues. In 1950, at 33 years old, head coach John Kundla became NBA Coach of Destiny when he led Minneosta to their first ever NBA Championship victory.

Led by center George Mikan, who is described by Sun-Times media columnist Michael Wilbon as “the NBA’s first superstar”, and longtime teammates Jim Pollard and Herm Schaefer, they dominated their competitors throughout Minneapolis’ eight-year history in basketball’s major league. After failing to capture a championship between 1959 and 1968 when they commonly faced stiff competition such as Wilt Chamberlain’s Philadelphia 76ers teams featuring star players like Richie Guerin and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Bill Russell’s Boston Celtics dynasty that won eight titles in a row during that timespan; Jerry West joined forces with Gail Goodrich during 1968–69 season forming one of history’s most potent backcourts ever witnessed in NBA which helped take Lakers to a record 33 wins against only 19 losses that season leading to their first ever Finals appearance since 1954 where they ultimately lost to Chamberlain and his Sixers 4–2 despite holding homecourt advantage for that series; finally acquiring critical puzzle piece in seven-foot-two-inch (2.18 m) center Wilt Chamberlain as result of intra-league draft during summer of 1968 which completely transformed them into legitimate title contenders for first time since moving to Los Angeles giving them what was considered by some pundits at that time as greatest starting lineup ever assembled which included all five starters being named to either that season’s All-NBA First or Second Teams while also becoming only team during 60s decade to ever have three different players averaging 20 or more points per game on same roster (Goodrich – 25.9 PPG; West – 29.1 PPG & Chamberlain – 24 PPG) en route to capturing 1969 NBA championship against Atlanta Hawks led by Pete Maravich which resulted in Laker franchise winning its very first title while located in Southern California and also marked beginning what would become one decades long intense rivalry between those two teams; although Hawks would return back for rematch next year where they avenged previous year’s defeat by defeating Los Angeles 4 games to 2 becoming only team besides Cavaliers/Warriors/Spurs since 1960s merger between NBL & BAA who had managed to beat them back–to–back Finals despite losing homecourt advantage on both occasions but nonetheless cementing themselves as one best teams ever assembled up until that point giving them combined regular season & playoff record 171–63 (.731) over span two seasons which still stands today as best two year run any team has had regular season record -wise since merger between those two leagues occurred nearly 50 years ago.
