Born in LA in 1965, I was 7 when they won their first chip in LA. I have fuzzy memories of that team with Wilt and West. They have won 11 more in my lifetime. A total of 12. I want them to win it every year but I'm happy to have seen them win so much during my life- I'll die a happy Lakers fan... but I'd sure like to see them ahead of the Celtics in the all time count. As I write this, the Lakers and Celtics franchises are tied with a total of 17 crowns each. My last wish is for the Lakers to be ahead of the Celtics before I pass...

The superteam era killed the NBA instead of players competing against one another they started teaming up with one another to form Superteams in their prime. Also, the game has become too corporate and less about the sport. This was the true golden era of basketball.
