The Los Angeles Lakers franchise began in 1947. A couple of guys from Minnesota purchased a disbanded team and rebuilt the team into what they are now.
The Los Angeles Lakers were not sold to Minneapolis; they were originally established in Minneapolis in 1947. The franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1960. The Lakers have remained in Los Angeles since that time and have not been sold back to Minneapolis.
The Lakers franchise was founded as the Detroit Gems in 1946. The team moved to Minneapolis and became the Lakers in 1947 and then moved to Los Angeles in 1960.
Kobe Bryant played for the Charlotte Hornets before joining the Los Angeles Lakers. He was selected 13th overall in the 1996 NBA Draft by the Hornets but was traded to the Lakers shortly after the draft. Bryant spent his entire 20-year NBA career with the Lakers, becoming one of the franchise's all-time greats.
