One of the NBA’s most-storied franchises, the Lakers were founded in Minneapolis in 1947 as a charter member of the National Basketball League, joining the Basketball Association of America (the precursor to the NBA) in 1948. The Lakers won five NBA championships in Minneapolis, before moving to Los Angeles in 1960. Since moving to LA, the Lakers have added 12 championships, tying the Boston Celtics for most in NBA history with 17 apiece. The franchise’s history is dotted with all-time greats: from Jerry West and Elgin Baylor to Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to the “Showtime” Lakers of Magic Johnson and James Worthy to Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant to the present-day duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
