The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the great NBA dynasties and a worldwide sports brand. They were founded in 1947 as the Minneapolis
Lakers, where they captured 5 championships before moving to

rivals, Boston.
The Lakers last championship came in 2010, beating Boston in an all-time classic Game 7.
