Background - Los Angeles Lakers
The Lakers moved to Los Angeles and found new stars. Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and Gail Goodrich were the new focus of the offense and the team began to top the Western Conference regularly after the regular season schedule was finished. This period, in the 1960s stared the Lakers-Celtics rivalry, as the Celtics met and beat the Lakers six times in eight seasons. It was not until Wilt Chamberlain was added to the Los Angeles squad that they could return home as champions. The 1972 season finished with the Lakers winning a then-record 69 games and easily winning the Finals.
Big men seemed to be the key to the Los Angeles Lakers success. After Wilt Chamberlain left in 1973, the Lakers would have to wait until Kareem Abdul-Jabbar came to the Los Angeles in 1975. He would take the team close repeatedly, but would not win a championship with the Lakers until Magic Johnson was drafted in 1979.
Magic Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, Jamaal Wilkes, and Norm Nixon became the first version of the Showtime Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers won two championships at the Staples Center before James Worthy, A.C. Green, Byron Scott, and Michael Cooper finished the 1980s as the most exciting floor show in basketball.
After a trouble 1990s, the Lakers signed Shaq and traded for Kobe Bryant out of high school to create a deadly duo that would eventually win three straight championships from the 1999-00 season to the 2001-02 season with Phil Jackson as coach. Jackson was known for his ability to handle stars, but Shaq and Kobe's egos clashed repeatedly. In 2004 the Lakers front office decided that the future of Los Angeles was with Kobe and traded Shaq.
The Los Angeles Lakers struggled, but a trade in the middle of the 2007-08 season brought Pau Gasol over. Bryant, Gasol, and Lamar Odom took the team to the NBA Finals in a series that rekindled the rivalry between the Celtics and the Lakers, though Los Angeles would lose.

2008-09 Midseason Update
|
 The Los Angeles Lakers came into the season as perhaps the deepest team and they have succeeded throughout the regular season schedule by remaining the team to beat in the Western Conference. The Lakers have gone 35-9 and seem well on their way to delivering NBA Finals tickets to fans at the Staples Center again.
Phil Jackson is coaching a team with the leagues best offense (107.7 points a game) and a good defense (99.2 points allowed) considering the fast pace at which they play. Kobe Bryant has flourished no the court with power forward Pau Gasol and center Andrew Bynum.
Only Derek Fisher also averages double figures in points, but players like Lamar Odom, Trevor Ariza, Jordan Farmer, Valdimir Radmanovic, and Sasha Vujacic could easily get the hot hand. Odom is far more of an all around player, filling in where needed to.
The same weakness that haunted the Lakers in the championship series against the Boston Celtics could be their undoing in this season's playoffs. The defense just seems a little soft. As the season moves closer to the postseason will fans with Lakers tickets see a team able to stop somebody or a team that simply hopes to outscore them? That is perhaps the biggest question for all those basketball fans in Los Angeles.
