1947-48: The Game's First Star
The Lakers franchise predates the NBA. The Minneapolis Lakers' first season was 1947-48, when the team entered the National Basketball League. A strange series of events early that year landed the Lakers the biggest prize in the game at that time-center George Mikan.

Prior to the 1947-48 campaign Maurice White, president of the American Gear Company and owner of the Chicago team, pulled the club out of the NBL.

The Lakers were a good team even without Mikan. The club featured a fine forward named Jim Pollard and one of the better playmakers in the league in Herm Schaefer. Coaching the squad was John Kundla, who had been hired away from the University of Minnesota. But once the bespectacled Mikan joined the Lakers there was no stopping them.
Minneapolis walked away with the NBL crown that season. After winning the Western Division by 13 games, the team disposed of the Oshkosh All-Stars, the Tri-Cities Blackhawks, and the Rochester Royals. Minneapolis lost only two games during the postseason, one in the first round and one in the finals against the Royals. Mikan paced the circuit in scoring during the regular season with 21.3 points per game and was tops in postseason play with an average of 24.4 points per contest.

1953-54: Lovellette Comes To The Rescue Of Ailing Mikan
The following season saw Mikan's production dip again. Bad knees were beginning to take a toll on the 29-year-old center, and he scored only 18.1 points per game. But the Lakers signed a promising rookie named Clyde Lovellette, who was more than capable of spelling Mikan at the center position.
Minneapolis won the Western Division in 1953-54, posting the NBA's best record at 46-26. The playoffs got off to an odd start when the league experimented with a round-robin format in the first round. Minneapolis survived, then downed Rochester in the Western Division Finals. The expected NBA Finals rematch between the Lakers and the Knickerbockers failed to materialize because New York was eliminated in the Eastern Conference round-robin. Instead, the Lakers faced Syracuse.
The Nationals surprised Minneapolis with a two-point win on the Lakers' home court in Game 2, tying the series at one game apiece. The Lakers then took two out of three games in Syracuse, and the teams returned to Minneapolis with the Lakers leading, three games to two. Syracuse survived Game 6 with another two-point victory, but the Lakers made it three titles in a row with an 87-80 triumph in the deciding game.

1958-60: Baylor Ushers In A New Era
The dreadful record had a silver lining, however, for it earned Minneapolis the No. 1 pick in the 1958 NBA Draft. The Lakers came away with Seattle University star Elgin Baylor. With the unbeatable combination of a great scoring touch, smooth ballhandling and passing skills, a willingness to pound the boards, and the seeming ability to defy gravity on the way to the hoop, the 6-5 forward helped usher in a new era for the struggling Lakers franchise.


1979: The Beginning Of The Buss Era
During the offseason owner Jack Kent Cooke sold his sports empire, which included the Lakers and the Great Western Forum, to Santa Monica real estate developer Jerry Buss for $67.5 million. Buss brought in Jack McKinney as the new head coach.
When the Lakers had let Gail Goodrich go to free agency prior to the 1976-77 season, they had no idea how significant Goodrich's departure would be for the team's future. Because Goodrich signed with the New Orleans Jazz as a veteran free agent, the Jazz had to compensate the Lakers. New Orleans did so by giving Los Angeles three draft picks, including its first-round pick in 1979. When the Jazz (who moved to Utah in 1979) finished with the league's worst record in 1978-79, the Lakers found themselves holding the No. 1 overall pick in the 1979 NBA Draft.

Facing the heavily favored Suns in the First Round, the Lakers dropped Game 1 at Phoenix 102-107 but came away encouraged that they could indeed get a desired split on the road. Los Angeles controlled the tempo from the outset of Game 2 and behind Bryant’s 29 points, 10 rebounds and five assists and Lamar Odom’s 21 points, seven rebounds and five assists, the Lakers evened the series at one game apiece with a 99-93 victory heading back to STAPLES Center.
After winning Game 3 99-92 to take a 2-1 series lead, the Lakers looked to take a commanding 3-1 advantage entering Game 4. Despite playing just 10 first-half minutes due to foul trouble, Kobe Bryant came up big late in one of the most memorable playoff games in Lakers history, connecting on a game-tying driving lay-up with 0.7 seconds to force overtime after Smush Parker stole the ball from Steve Nash along the sideline, leading to the break and lay-up. In the overtime period, Luke Walton tied up Nash to force a jump ball with Los Angeles down one with just a few seconds remaining. The tip went in the Lakers’ direction and into Bryant’s hands. With the clock winding down, Bryant took the ball up court and fading away from the right elbow, knocked down the jumper to secure a miraculous 99-98 victory, giving the Lakers a 3-1 series lead.
After dropping Game 5 in Phoenix, the Lakers returned home looking to close out the series. With Bryant scoring the team’s final five points of regulation to put Los Angeles up three with 29.3 seconds remaining, Tim Thomas connected on a game-tying three-pointer off of an offensive rebound with 6.3 seconds, ultimately sending the contest into an overtime in which the Suns scored 21 points to force a Game 7 with a 126-118 victory. Having been just seconds from the Western Conference Semifinals, a seemingly stunned Lakers team succumbed to the Suns momentum in the deciding Game 7 at Phoenix and were eliminated from the postseason with a 90-121 loss at US Airways Center.
Despite a disappointing end to the season, the return of Jackson coupled with the historic brilliance of Kobe Bryant and a memorable playoff series against Phoenix made for one of the more memorable Lakers seasons of all-time while providing new-found momentum for future success to come.
