About Todd Expertise I`ve been a Los Angeles resident and a Laker fan since the early 60`s (in other words: the whole time they`ve been here). I can answer just about any question past or present involving any aspect of the Los Angeles Lakers organization. I`d be happy to talk to anyone that has questions regarding the past, present or future.
Question What year did the Lakers come to LA and where can I find a picture of that team?
Answer Hi Dennis- I'm still stinging from that loss last night.
The Lakers moved to LA in 1960. Where to find a picture? Good question. There is an Encyclopedia of The Lakers that was published by the LA Times just a few years ago, maybe 5, but I think it's out of print. You might be able to acess it in the local library depending on where you live. But I'm not sure there is a picture there. There is a new LA Lakers History on DVD out and it's pretty awesome. 5 double sided disks for $50. (at Amazon.com). It contains some great stuff from all eras of LA Laker history including complete games from the '72, '80 & '85 finals. I think there is about 22 hours of content. It's incredible. You might see some pictures or footage of the first LA team there. It's worth having if you're a fan.
I don't know if that answered your question precisely but that the best I can do. Thanks for writing, Todd
