The [[Los Angeles Lakers]] are an American professional basketball team based in [[Los Angeles]] that competes in the [[National Basketball Association]] (NBA), which was formerly called the Basketball Association of America (BAA). Since 1999, the Lakers have played their home games at [[Crypto.com Arena]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.staplescenter.com/doublecol.php?section=about&page=aboutstaplescenter |title=About Staples Center |access-date=September 1, 2008 |publisher=staplescenter.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110914162353/http://www.staplescenter.com/doublecol.php?section=about&page=aboutstaplescenter |archive-date=September 14, 2011 }}</ref> The franchise was founded in 1946 as the [[Detroit Gems]].

The Lakers went on to lose all of their six appearances in the NBA Finals in the 1960s, despite the presence of [[Elgin Baylor]] and [[Jerry West]]. In {{nbay|1971|end}}, the Lakers compiled a [[List of National Basketball Association longest winning streaks|33-game winning streak]], the longest streak in [[Sports in the United States|U.S. professional team sports]], and won their sixth title, under coach [[Bill Sharman]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Los Angeles Lakers|work=basketball-reference.com|publisher=Sports Reference LLC|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/LAL/|access-date=August 29, 2008|archive-date=June 12, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100612234102/http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/LAL/|url-status=live}}</ref> The Lakers' popularity soared in the 1980s when they won five additional championships during a nine-year span with the help of [[Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame|Hall of Famers]] [[Magic Johnson]], [[Kareem Abdul-Jabbar]], [[James Worthy]] and coach [[Pat Riley]], the franchise's all-time leader in both regular season and playoff games coached and wins.<ref name="Riley Stats">{{cite web|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/rileypa01c.html|title=Pat Riley Coaching Record|work=basketball-reference.com|publisher=Sports Reference LLC|access-date=June 21, 2008|archive-date=March 7, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110307070039/http://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/rileypa01c.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://hoophall.com/halloffamers/bhof-halloffamers-alpha.html |title=Alphabetical Enshrinees into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame |publisher=[[Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame]] |access-date=September 1, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080705085338/http://hoophall.com/halloffamers/bhof-halloffamers-alpha.html |archive-date=July 5, 2008 }}</ref> Two of those championships during that span were [[Lakers–Celtics rivalry|against their arch-rivals]], the [[Boston Celtics]]. With the help of [[Shaquille O'Neal]], [[Kobe Bryant]], and Hall of Fame coach [[Phil Jackson]], the Lakers played in seven [[NBA Finals]] between 2000 and 2010, winning three of them consecutively from [[2000 NBA Finals|2000]] to [[2002 NBA Finals|2002]], losing the next two in [[2004 NBA Finals|2004]] and [[2008 NBA Finals|2008]], and winning in [[2009 NBA Finals|2009]] and [[2010 NBA Finals|2010]]; the last three appearances were without O'Neal.

The Lakers hold records for having (at the end of the [[2014–15 NBA season]]) the most wins (3,125), the highest winning percentage (.620), the most NBA Finals appearances (32) of any NBA franchise, second-fewest non-playoff seasons with seven and are second [[List of NBA champions|NBA championships]] with 17, behind the Boston Celtics' 18.<ref>{{cite web|title=Team Index|work=basketball-reference.com|publisher=Sports Reference LLC|url=https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/|access-date=August 29, 2008|archive-date=May 1, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120501192747/http://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/|url-status=live}}</ref> They have won 60+ regular season games 11 times, trailing only the [[Boston Celtics]] in this category.

The team struggled during the mid to late 2010s, during which they suffered the longest playoff drought in franchise history, failing to qualify for the postseason for six seasons. Before that stretch, they had missed the playoffs only five times in their entire existence up to 2013.

The Lakers' fortunes turned around following the signing of [[LeBron James]] in the summer of 2018 and a trade for [[Anthony Davis]] in 2019. The team finished the 2020 regular season as the first seed in the Western Conference for the first time since 2010 and won the [[2020 NBA Finals]], their first championship since 2010.
