toc =__**Los Angeles Lakers**__=



The Los Angeles Lakers, formerly the Minneapolis Lakers (1947), are one of the most storied franchises in the history of the NBA. They have 17 NBA finals' appearances, which is the most of any other franchise. From the days of George Mikan and Wilt Chamberlain, to the more recent times of Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have always featured players who have historically been known as the greats of all time. Led by the current coach Phil Jackson, the Lakers, in their 6th NBA finals' appearance of the decade, are competing for their 4th championship in ten years.
