	Los Angeles Lakers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lakers are notable for having (at the end of the 2005–06 season) the most wins (2,806), the highest winning percentage (61.5%), the most finals appearances (28), and the second most championships (14) of any franchise behind their chief rivals the Boston Celtics.
		However, during the 1996-1997 offseason, the Lakers acquired Shaquille O'Neal from the Orlando Magic and newly-drafted Kobe Bryant from the Charlotte Hornets.
		The Lakers are also known for their long-time play-by-play announcer Chick Hearn, who called their games on local radio and television from March, 1961 through the end of the 2002 season, including a record streak of 3,338 consecutive games beginning November 21, 1965.

		The Laker dynasty ended in a cataclysmic explosion nearly two years ago, as Phil Jackson departed with the suspected help of a shove from Kobe Bryant.
		The de facto "point guard" appears to be veteran retread Aaron McKie, whom the Lakers pursued as a free agent despite his horrendous season in Philadelphia last season.
		However, L.A. gave up a solid starter in order to acquire Brown, so if he can't be a 15-point, nine-rebound type of player, then the deal might be GM Mitch Kupchak's last.

		Jackson’s absence led to a disappointing 34- 48 record for the LA Lakers, as well as the first missed NBA playoff appearance in a decade.
		The Lakers were quick to realize that their bet was not going to pay off in the long run, and resigned Jackson to a three year deal.
		It was after the controversial 2003-2004 season with the Lakers that Jackson parted company with LA. That campaign saw Jackson take the Lakers to their fourth consecutive NBA finals appearance, where they were the odd man out for hanging a banner from rafters.
