Los Angeles Lakers
17 championships, tied for most in the NBA. The Showtime, Shaq and Kobe and LeBron eras all wear the same gold.
The story
Showtime, gold, and the glare of the lights
Before Los Angeles there was Minneapolis, where George Mikan won the league's first dynasty. The team moved west in 1960 and never stopped chasing spectacle. The 1980s were Showtime: Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the fast break, and Pat Riley's slicked-back swagger.
Then came Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, a three-peat from 2000 to 2002, and Kobe's 81-point night that still does not look real. Kobe added two more rings, and in the 2020 bubble LeBron James and Anthony Davis won one more, months after Kobe's death, for a grieving city.
Seventeen titles, tied with Boston. Celebrity row, the purple and gold, the sense that the cameras are always on. The Lakers do not just play games. They put on a show.
For the fans
The Lakers are glamour first. A night at the arena is theatre, and the fanbase carries the belief that the next superstar is always one trade away.
For the punters
The public loves the Lakers, so the line is often shaded toward them. In flat regular-season spots the value can sit on the other side. Let the casual money inflate the price, then decide.
