About this book

THE LA LAKERS are trailing the Celtics 106 – 105 with just seven seconds left. The game is tense, the air is thick with anticipation, animosity, and anxiety. Everyone around me is expecting Kareem to take the final shot. But wait, here goes Magic, he doesn’t shoot just yet … he’s going down the middle, a hook shot, scores! With two seconds left! The Boston crowd freeze, Lakers players jump off the bench. This changes everything!

Follow the story of the Los Angeles Lakers through a book of authentic newspaper articles, curated from reports dating back to 1960. This edition charts the team’s history — exactly as it was reported at the time.

Featuring:

– The record-breaking 33-game winning streak in the 1971–72 season
– Magic Johnson's “Showtime” era 
– The Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal dynasty of the early 2000s
– LeBron James’ leadership and the latest championship campaigns
– Highlights from the latest seasons
– Authentic newspaper articles dating from April 27, 1960 to May 3, 2026
