1947-48: The Game's First Star
The Lakers franchise predates the NBA. The Minneapolis Lakers'
first season was 1947-48, when the team entered the National Basketball
League. A strange series of events early that year
landed the Lakers the biggest prize in the game at that time-center
George Mikan.
Mikan was a 6-10 giant of a man who had dominated college basketball
in his four years at DePaul. He joined the
Chicago American Gears at the end of the 1945-46 season,
then led the Gears to the NBL Championship the following
year.

TraditionFrom
Mikan To Magic, Lakers Have Always Had A Winning
Tradition From the George Mikan-led Minneapolis Lakers teams
of the late 1940s and early 1950s to the
"Showtime" era of the Earvin "Magic" Johnson
teams in Los Angeles during the late 1980s, one thing has been
consistent about the Lakers: winning.
