The Los Angeles Lakers Professional Basketball Team

Founded in 1947, the Los Angeles Lakers team belongs to National Basketball Association and plays in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. This California based team has the longest winning streak in the entire NBA history of American professional sports and has an estimated value of $900 million according to 2012 estimate of Forbes. Lakers have been playing their home games at Staples Center in Downtown Los Angeles since 1999 which has a seating capacity of around nineteen thousand people. They share the arena with their rivals like the Los Angeles Kings, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Sparks. From 1967 to 1999, the team played its home games at The Forum in California while in its infancy years from 1947 to 1960; they played their home games at the Minneapolis Auditorium.

The team colors are purple, white and gold; the players wear gold uniforms for the home games while purple uniforms for the road games. The team is made up of some very talented players like Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who have won the NBA Most Valuable Player Awards, an unprecedented feat accomplished by only a few. You can watch some of the best actions of the players live in front of your eyes; all you need in your hands is Preseason Los Angeles Lakers tickets.

The team was originally based in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Minnesota and hence draws its name, Lakers from there. The team won its first title after defeating Washington Capitol team in 1949. However, the players suffered hardships in 1960s because they entered NBA final six times but unfortunately lost each of the series. It was time to inject new blood into the team and this is when Wilt Chamberlain joined Los Angeles Lakers in 1968. In 1972, the relentless efforts of the team had won them their sixth NBA title. The Lakers’ performance kept on improving after this. In 1980s alone, the team won five championships in a short time span of nine years. Not only this, the Lakers have also won three back to back titles in three consecutive years from 2000 to 2002.  Until now, Preseason Los Angeles Lakers team has won sixteen championships, twelve conference titles and fifteen division titles.

The Preseason Los Angeles Lakers players still have a few days of rehearsals left before landing on the main battle field. Although Lakers have lost their final preseason game in 2012 but the team still has some time to fix their mistakes and get in shape before the real game. The Preseason Los Angeles Lakers tickets have become the talk of the town as they are in high demand during the season. Grab your ticket as well if you are one of those basketball enthusiasts.
