The Los Angeles Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers are an American professional basketball team based in Los Angeles. The Lakers compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as a member of the league’s Western Conference in the Pacific Division. The Lakers play their home games at Staples Center, an arena shared with the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA). The Lakers are one of the most successful teams in the history of the NBA, having won 16 NBA championships, their last being in 2010.
The franchise began with the 1947 purchase of a disbanded club, the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League (NBL). The new team began playing in Minneapolis, calling themselves the Minneapolis Lakers. Initially a member of the NBL, the Lakers won the 1948 NBL championship before fully joining the NBA as it absorbed teams from rival leagues during that time such as the NBL, Basketball Association of America and Western Hockey League. The team was forced to move to Los Angeles during 1949 after losing significant financial backing from Minneapolis businesses and fans due to championship losses during playoff runs in previous years.
