In professional sports there are only a few teams that come to mind when you think of a proven winner, a must see attraction year in and year out. In the MLB you have the New York Yankees, in the NFL you the New England Patriots and finally in the NBA there are the Los Angeles Lakers. Throughout the Lakers sixty year history, from playing in Minneapolis where the franchise first started to Los Angeles where Kobe Bryant and company play today, the Lakers have been synonymous with winning. Whether it was Wilt Chamberlain dominating the paint back in the day, Magic Johnson with his classic smile during the Showtime years or Kobe Bryant driving defenses crazy today, the Lakers have always had their unforgettable superstars that seem to redefine the game of basketball.

No other team in professional sports has drawn more entertainers, famous movie stars or even other superstar athletes from other sports to their games. With such a reputation for drawing some Hollywood’s biggest and brightest stars, like Jack Nicholson who has is at almost every Lakers home game, going to Lakers game is attending a movie premiere and great basketball game all in one.

Over the past ten years the Lakers have been one of the most dominant teams in the NBA playing in one of the best arenas in basketball, the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles. The reason for the Lakers success over the past decade was due to the dynamic duo of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. With these two future hall of famers on the floor the Lakers were virtually unstoppable winning three NBA championships in a row, but once tensions between the two got to a boiling point Shaq left town the Lakers were officially Kobe’s team.

After Shaq was traded to the Miami Heat Kobe Bryant was left to shoulder the scoring load without Shaq to back him up the Lakers struggled and were barely able to make the playoffs for a few seasons, but once Kobe started to accept the fact that he couldn’t do it all on his own and started to trust his new teammates the Lakers started winning in classic Lakers fashion. With the addition of a young center in Andrew Bynum and Spanish import power forward Pau Gasol the Lakers were back on top again and kings of the Pacific division and the Western conference making them the hottest ticket in the NBA and title contenders for the foreseeable future.

With the Los Angeles Lakers at the top of their game again playing with the right drive and motivation to get back to the NBA Finals the Lakers are hottest NBA tickets in the league. Since there is no better show in Los Angeles right now then Kobe and company tickets are not easy to come by, but at Yaytickets.com they are just a click away!
