The Lakers started out as the Saint Paul Minneapolis  Minnesota.  The lakers won championships in1948.  Minneapolis dominated the NBA from 1949 to 1954 winning four championships. There was one reason for this dominance.   He was a 6 foot 10 245 pound giant of a player named George Mikan.  They called him Mr. basketball.  The Lakers arch rivals the Boston Celtics won most of there meetings.  The Lakers won against the the new york Knicks to take the NBA crown.  The Lakers got Jerry West and Eglin Baylor.   Baylor was the NBA's leading point scorer for two straight years.  Then they got magic Johnson his real name was Earvin Johnson.  Magic had to leave the NBA because of a disease called HIV but he returned for the All star game and got awarded the all star MVP [Most valuable player].  Then Kobe Bryant was the second youngest NBA player to ever go to the NBA.  The Lakers won back to back championships in 2009 and 2010.
