Led by LeBron James and Anthony Davis the Lakers won the Championship in 2020 and tied the Celtics for most titles in NBA history with 17. LeBron won his 4th Finals MVP, and became the only player to win Finals MVP with 3 different franchises.

In 2009 Kobe Bryant finally got his first championship without Shaq. He was the leader of a team full of talented players like Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza and was supported by Derek Fisher's experience.

In the offseason the Lakers saw Ariza go and Ron Artest arrive and in 2010 the Lakers repeated as Kobe and Fisher got their 5th NBA Title. In the Finals they defeated their archrival Boston Celtics in seven games and took revenge from 2008.

Guided by magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the Lakers dominated a decade with the most entertaining basketball ever seen. And it wasn't only about the show, that group of players went to the finals 8 times and won 5 titles.

In the middle of an era dominated by the Celtics, Jerry West lost 8 NBA Finals with the Lakers, 6 of them at the hands of Boston, but he never gave up and his perseverance was rewarded with a Championship in the 1972 season. West and Chamberlain were the leaders of the team that set the still-standing NBA record of 33 consecutive victories in a then-record season of 69-13, only surpassed later by Michael Jordan's Bulls of 1996.

The first years of the league were completely dominated by a force that was ahead of his time and was called George Mikan, the first NBA superstar.
