Los Angeles Lakers Jerseys – Every Player, Every Era, Every Number

The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most successful and iconic franchises in NBA history. The franchise began in 1947 as the Minneapolis Lakers, named after Minnesota's famous "Land of 10,000 Lakes." In 1960, the franchise moved to Los Angeles and became the Los Angeles Lakers, the name it has used ever since.

The Lakers have won 17 NBA Championships, tying them for the most championships in NBA history. The franchise won 5 championships as the Minneapolis Lakers and has won 12 championships as the Los Angeles Lakers. Their championship years are 1949, 1950, 1952, 1953, 1954, 1972, 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987, 1988, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010, and 2020.

The Lakers' championship history spans some of the greatest eras in basketball. The Minneapolis dynasty was built around George Mikan, while later generations featured legends such as Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, James Worthy, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
