2010
Los Angeles Lakers
Under ledelse af de berømte spillere Elgin Baylor og Jerry West nåede Los Angeles frem til NBA-finalerne seks gange i 1960'erne, men tabte hver gang til Boston Celtics, hvilket var starten på deres lange og historiske rivalisering. I 1968 fik Lakers den firedobbelte NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Wilt Chamberlain til at spille center, og efter at have tabt i finalerne i 1969 og 1970 vandt de deres sjette NBA-titel - og den første i Los Angeles - i 1972 under ledelse af den nye cheftræner Bill Sharman. Efter Wests og Chamberlains pensionering købte holdet en anden center, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, som havde vundet flere MVP-priser, men som ikke kunne nå finalerne i slutningen af 1970'erne. 1980'ernes Lakers fik tilnavnet "Showtime" på grund af deres Magic Johnson-ledede fast break-offense og vandt fem mesterskaber i løbet af en periode på 9 år, herunder deres første finalemesterskab nogensinde mod Celtics i 1985. Dette hold havde Hall of Famers i Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar og James Worthy samt en Hall of Fame-træner, Pat Riley. Efter Abdul-Jabbars og Johnsons pensionering havde holdet problemer i begyndelsen af 1990'erne, før det i 1996 fik Shaquille O'Neal og Kobe Bryant. Under ledelse af O'Neal, Bryant og en anden Hall of Fame-træner, Phil Jackson, vandt Los Angeles tre titler i træk mellem 2000 og 2002, hvilket sikrede franchise sit andet "three-peat". Efter at have tabt både NBA-finalerne i 2004 og 2008 vandt Lakers yderligere to mesterskaber ved at besejre Orlando Magic i 2009 og Boston i 2010.

Los Angeles Lakers
Led by Hall of Famers Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, Los Angeles made the NBA Finals six times in the 1960s, but lost each series to the Boston Celtics, beginning their long and storied rivalry. In 1968, the Lakers acquired four-time NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) Wilt Chamberlain to play center, and after losing in the Finals in 1969 and 1970, they won their sixth NBA title—and first in Los Angeles—in 1972, led by new head coach Bill Sharman. After the retirement of West and Chamberlain, the team acquired another center, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had won multiple MVP awards, but was unable to make the Finals in the late 1970s. The 1980s Lakers were nicknamed "Showtime" due to their Magic Johnson-led fast break-offense, and won five championships in a 9-year span, including their first ever Finals championship against the Celtics in 1985. This team featured Hall of Famers in Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, and James Worthy, and a Hall of Fame coach, Pat Riley. After Abdul-Jabbar and Johnson's retirement, the team struggled in the early 1990s before acquiring Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in 1996. Led by O'Neal, Bryant, and another Hall of Fame coach, Phil Jackson, Los Angeles won three consecutive titles between 2000 to 2002, securing the franchise its second "three-peat". After losing both the 2004 and 2008 NBA Finals, the Lakers won two more championships by defeating the Orlando Magic in 2009 and Boston in 2010.
