Thank you for this wonderful documentary. I am 65. Have been a Laker fan since Magic Johnson in 1980. At that time we would watch games recorded on video tape supplied by our company library in Daudi
Lakers fan since 1980 seen a lot of championships in my lifetime.Best title teams 1.1985 over Celtics in Boston Garden 2.Lakers repeat 1988 over Celtics 3.2002 Lakers threepeat over NJ Nets 4.Lakers 2020 title over Miami Heat 5.1987 Lakers over Celtics for Magic MVP year so many moments as Lakers fan till day I die
My favorite teams is the Raptors and my home team of the Hornets but I love some of the lakers teams, Shaq and Kobe are some of my favorites and I hope the franchise will see more success in the future
The 1972 Lakers team will always have a special placed in my heart and it's no disrespect at all to any others Lakers championship teams but I was 11 years old when I saw the Lakers beat the New York Knicks at the Forum and I remember watching the fans storm onto the court, I must have went crazy at home at the time, of course I love the showtime Lakers teams of the 1980's with Magic and Kareem and the Lakers teams with Kobe and Shaq, also the lakers teams with Kobe and Pau Gasol, they are all special in their own way including the Minneapolis Lakers teams of the 1950's.
@@Zack29810 Because Gasol was instrumental to the last two of the latest 5-chip championships: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010. And he will be in the Hall of Fame.
I would love to hear or see a comprehensive look at what in the hell was going on with the lakers from 1975-1979? Hello you’ve got Kareem Abdul Jabbar the best player in the league in his prime and did nothing? I realize there was no Magic Johnson on the team but this is Kareem in his 20s. I just don’t get why no one talks about those teams uneventfulness. The rosters alongside Jabbar aren’t so bad either, this was before my time but still I think it would be an interesting topic for a documentary.
What Happened to the 75-79 Lakers? Portland Better Walton in his Prime was at UCLA sidenote (College Walton was better than College Kareem) but in Portland in 77 in 65 games was a beast averaged 14.4 rebounds per game even on Bad feet Golden State Better Rick Barry averaged 30.6 ppg .904 from the Free throw line and 3 steals a game in 75 Seattle Better 78 and 79 Seattle won the west the End....
@@kasandrapurplekitten Kareem needed Oscar and Magic to win. Not that theres anything wrong with that. The GOATs always needed someone else to step up to Win championships
@@backnine39 I get what you are saying but those teams that won the western conference in 76 77 78 & 79 like Portland , Golden state and Seattle their rosters weren’t as talented as those lakers rosters. Most people can’t name 2 players from the Golden State team besides Rick Barry and same with Portland and Seattle. Some people can perhaps name Dennis Johnson and Jack Sikma from Seattle but most people without googling can’t name multiple players from those teams. Kareem and the lakers from 75 - 79 underachieved to the extreme.
I bet LA Laker fans think to themself and reminisce “Remember those 5 Championships in Minneapolis?” won 12 but claim 17 and yet we don’t see George Mikans Jersey on the rafters.
I’d strongly suggest you look a lot closer in the Rafters we have a Blue Banner that honors the 5 Championships the Lakers won in Minneapolis as well as another banner honoring the HOF players that played on those teams
@@faviovega6040 showing honor is a great thing for sure. However, jersey retirement solidifies a player in history and is simply a sign of respect. A man who won a franchise 5 chips should have their jersey retired. Especially if those championships from a completely different city/state are highly celebrated.
Separate franchises, when the Lakers moved to LA the championships moved with them. Minnesota Twolves didn’t have their first season until 1989 a completely brand new team/franchise.
Living in LA all my life, I realized I’m not a Lakers fan, I’m a Kobe fan. RIP to the real King of LA! Those 2000-2005 years were amazing basketball all over the league!

the lakers need to go back to drawing board get a big who can play hard like a shaq or a wilt or kareem we dont need ad in my opinion we need a rookie big and a shooter/elite pg in the draft the lakers have always gotten a big man and a all star shooting gaurd or pg in every great laker dynasty come on lake nation we need a new young core we dont want to think about the past we want to think about the future and the lakers are about winning and having franchise players who rep the pruple and gold to the wheels falls off so lets go lakers all day
The great George,West and Chamberlain, Magic and Kareem, Shaq and Kobe and Paul and Kobe. Lebron and Davis.!When Shaq left LA I stopped rooting for the Lakers. Don’t care for the me me brand of basketball.
U are clearly a Kobe fan for sure😅... Edit too much Kobe highlight on 00-02 3p champion, make it look like kobe carry the team win those 3 😅.... give 0 respect to pau gasol by not edit even 1 of his highlight buck ! Good job ....
@@Zack29810 they won 50 games before going to the Bubble. They beaten the 76ers, the Bucks, and the Clippers in the same week before the Shutdown. They went into the bubble without Demarcus Cousins that didn’t play a single game and Avery Bradley who was a big part of those last 3 games before the bubble. They beaten the Denver Nuggets who came back from both 3-1 leads against Utah and the Clippers, they beat Dame Time who were the toughest #8 seeded, they beaten the Miami Heat. Let’s also not forget Miami upset the Pacers with Bubble MVP TJ Warren, the #1 seeded Bucks, and the #2 seeded Celtics. Miami had Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, Dragic, and Duncan Robinson. Lakers were short handed missing both key players, I don’t to hear that Bubble don’t count crap. The only rings that don’t count are the championships that KD won in golden state.
everyone knows the 2020 one doesn’t count. I respect the other 16 championships but the 2020 season was a joke and the NBA just wanted to gift Lebron another ring.
So blessed and privileged to be a Lakers fan!!!
The Lakers is one of the greatest sports franchises ever.
Where is george mikan??
Don't forget them Dallas cowboys too
@Μάριος ΒΣ the yanks ando real Madrid are the greatest

Now we need Celtics 18 rings in 18 minutes
Greatest sports franchise of all time!
Yes this series is back 🙌

Laker fan, 2nd team i like the most is the Raptors, 2019 was joy
Where is george mikan
Lakers champion centers:
Miken 5, Chamberlain 1, Jabar 5 O'Neil 3. Gasol 2, Davis 1 = 17
The lakers are historically stacked at the center position it’s insane
No all time starting line up would compete with the lakers. Maybe the Celtics but that’s it
@@trentonpearson7353 not even the celts rlly
GOAT Kobe
Man, the Lakers had some of the top iconic players.
Few people know that Vikings coach Bud Grant also played basketball with the Minneapolis Lakers
Yes, I knew that.
Kareem was crazy with the hook shot 😮🔥
I was shocked at how many 3-point distance shots they were taking in the early 50s without a proper line. Wonder why it wasn’t there sooner!
wilt highlights in 72 were unreal!
Much respect to the Lakers... but as a 76ers fan I hate seeing them beat up on the Nationals/Sixers so much lol
Y'all keep getting in our way
Derek Fisher was an unsung hero for those five titles.
It was great to see some of the really old footage. I wondered if it actually existed.
Great Video 📸
BEST FRANCHISE EVER IN ANY SPORTS
The 1972 Lakers team will always have a special placed in my heart and it's no disrespect at all to any others Lakers championship teams but I was 11 years old when I saw the Lakers beat the New York Knicks at the Forum and I remember watching the fans storm onto the court, I must have went crazy at home at the time, of course I love the showtime Lakers teams of the 1980's with Magic and Kareem and the Lakers teams with Kobe and Shaq, also the lakers teams with Kobe and Pau Gasol, they are all special in their own way including the Minneapolis Lakers teams of the 1950's.
Thank You ; @ GP . !
George Mikan set the tone 👊🏾
The 85 lakers are the best lakers team ever and that saying something
The Lakers are the only team with 3 separate, 5-chip dynasties: the Mikan Lakers, Showtime, and the Kobe/Shaq/Gasol Lakers
why are you mentioning Gasol?
@@Zack29810 Because Gasol was instrumental to the last two of the latest 5-chip championships: 2000, 2001, 2002, 2009, 2010.
And he will be in the Hall of Fame.

Nah it’s Lakers, Yankees, Cowboys, Maple Leafs and Real Madrid in one tier and the Celtics, STL Cardinals, Packers, Canadiens and Manchester United

because of Kobe Bryant I was a Lakers fans
The Lakers have 18 championships as a franchise, not 17.
1988 v Detroit game seven ,crowd went on the court with time left on the clock ...
Nice very Nice
can you do the celtics
You included only one James Worthy shot.
And there were no shots by Robert Horry!!!!???!!!??? Robert Horry is the man with SEVEN rings.
So Los Angeles has officially only won 12 championships, one of them at Disney World.
Mpls as lakers,should count as a MN ring

All those great Laker squads, only to be tarnished by the last team led by Lebrun
Shut up, be greatful that your team won a championship.
Hey only go against the Celtics 3 times???
No, Lakers faced the Celtics 12 times in the Finals. Lakers have only lost 9 times.
Something tells me that they and the Celtics are going to stay tie for a while. LOL!
Lakers

Next boston Celtics 17 rings
Got damn, basketball was stale AF before color...TV 😊
The early Minneapolis Lakers, the nba at that time, these were the real plumbers and milk men

Was with you until you put the bubble championship on there. Don't count.....!!!!
