History /Background-
The franchise started in 1947. This disbanded team disbanded became the lakers. Some of the most known players are Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’neal, Magic Johnson, Jerry West, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar. The Lakers have been to 60 playoff appearances having a record of 440 wins and 297 losses. They have the second most successful franchise in NBA history. They have had so many hall of famers 21 to be exact. They even have won 16 NBA championships. Kobe has 5 championships of his own.
They have not been the best since Kobe left recently. With a record of 26-56. But they have the 2nd pick in the 2017 draft. Kareem has left his mark in the NBA by the skyhook and having the most points in NBA history.They have had some of the best big men to ever play the game like George Mikan, Kareem Abdul Jabar, and Shaquille O’neal. Their best player right now in my opinion is D’Angelo Russell averaging 15.6 points per game. Their future is very bright though.With a lot of young talent.
