Here are my picks for the top 20 Los Angeles Lakers of all time. The Lakers started in the 1948-49 season as the Minneapolis Lakers, where they stayed until the 1960-61 season when they moved to Los Angeles, where they have remained ever since. In the Laker's 77 seasons, they have made the playoffs 64 times and have won 17 championships.
