 After a disappointing 2020-21 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have multiple notable changes to their roster. Perhaps the biggest move in the off-season, the Lakers added Russell Westbrook to the duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. But acquiring Westbrook did come at a huge cost as Lakers gave up [https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1420900854337572867?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1420900854337572867%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.essentiallysports.com%2Fnba-basketball-news-lakers-trade-russell-westbrook-set-to-join-lebron-james-anthony-davis-after-kuzma-trade%2F] some key pieces like Kyle Kuzma, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and Montrezl Harrell and multiple second round picks in the process. While Harrell and Pope were brought in as free agents, Kuzma was the longest tenured player in the team.

While he had become a role player lately, in his first two seasons, Kuzma showed incredible scoring potential. Given how Kuzma has progressed in terms of his all-round game, a bigger role with the Wizards might bring the best out of the 25-year-old. Kendrick Perkins certainly thinks so. In a recent appearance at the Jump, the former Celtics’ big man claimed that Kuzma [http://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kyle-kuzma/] will end up having a career year with the Wizards. “I say Kuz to have a career year. Would he make an All-Star game? I’m not saying that. But people have to realize, it’s lot of pressure playing alongside LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] and playing for a championship.” “And in Washington there’s no pressure. It’s just pressure to get to the playoffs. I’m looking for Kuz to have that monkey off his back, go out there, be able to play freely. I’m looking for him to have a career year this year.” Kuzma certainly saw many different roles in the Lakers. While he started off as a scoring forward, his role changed massively with the arrival of LeBron James and Anthony Davis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-davis/]. The 2017 draft pick tried to adjust to the new role and in the process made strides in terms of defense. Given that now Kuzma will be playing for the Bradley Beal [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/bradley-beal/] led Wizards, a larger role might be up for grabs for the 25-year-old. Kuzma certainly has shown that he can be a good starter for any team. Will a bigger role with the Wizards bring the best out of Kyle Kuzma? 

Former Celtics' center Kendrick Perkins recently claimed that former Lakers'
forward Kyle Kuzma will have a career year next season.

<h2><b>Everything to Know About the Los Angeles Lakers</b></h2>
<h2><b>History</b></h2>
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most popular sports teams in the world. The Lakers are also a very successful team, and it started right from the beginning. The franchise began in 1947 as the Minneapolis Lakers in the National Basketball League and won the title in 1948. The team then joined the rival Basketball Association of America, which would later become the NBA in 1948. The Lakers continued their successful run in the BAA as well. But the team struggled financially in the mid-50s and relocated to Los Angeles in 1960 as the Los Angeles Lakers.

<h2><b>Who is the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers?</b></h2>
Dr. Jerry Buss purchased the Los Angeles Lakers along with the Forum and NHL's Los Angeles Kings for $67 million in 1979 from then-owner Jack Kent Cooke. The Lakers thrived under the leadership of Buss as he revolutionized virtually the entire league.

When Dr. Buss passed away in 2013, the ownership was transferred to his six children through a family trust. The Buss Family Trusts is the majority owner of the Lakers now with Jeanie Buss acting as the controlling owner. She became the first female controlling owner to win the title when the Lakers clinched the championship in 2020.

<h2><b>Who are the team sponsors?</b></h2>
The Los Angeles Lakers are sponsored by several major brands. Notably, the Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers signed a stadium-naming rights deal with the cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com. According to reports, it was a 20-year $700 million contract. So, the Staples Center was officially renamed Crypto.com Arena.

While the official kit sponsor of the Lakers is Nike, the team signed a deal with bibigo as the official jersey patch partner in 2021. Some of the other notable sponsors of the team are American Express, Beyond Meat, BioSteel, Budweiser, Comerica, Delta and Pepsi.

<h2><b>Achievements and wins</b></h2>
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the two most successful teams in the league with 17 championships each. The Lakers' winning culture started right after the team was founded in 1947 as they won the NBL title in 1948. The Minneapolis Lakers continued winning titles after moving to the BAA as well. Then the BAA merged with NBL to form the NBA in 1949. So, the Lakers' 1948 title win is not considered by the NBA as an official championship. However, the 1949 championship is recognized since the team joined the BAA.

The dominance of the Lakers continued in the 50s as they won titles in 1950, 1952, 1953 and 1954, led by legendary center George Mikan. However, things went south after Mikan retired in 1954 as the team struggled on and off the court. Because of the financial troubles, the franchise was relocated to Los Angeles in 1960. However, the team still found it hard to get back to its winning ways. After a dry spell that lasted years, the team won the 1972 title with the help of NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain. It was followed by another eight years of disappointment.

In 1979, Dr. Jerry Buss became the majority owner of the Lakers with the intention to turn the team's luck around. 1979 also marked the entry of NBA legend Earvin 'Magic' Johnson when the team drafted him as the first pick. Thus began the era of Showtime Lakers. With the help of Magic, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and others, the Lakers lifted five championships in 1980, 1982, 1985, 1987 and 1988. The team then lost the 1989 and 1991 NBA Finals.

The Lakers struggled again until Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant started working their magic. The duo led the Lakers to three straight championships from 2000 to 2002, a feat even the Showtime Lakers could not achieve. O'Neal, Bryant and the team dismantled their opponents on their way to all three titles, displaying utter dominance. After Shaq left the team in 2004, Kobe became the main man. He then led the team to two straight rings in 2009 and 2010. Recently, superstar LeBron James helped the team win their record 17th championship in 2020.
<h2><b>The Lakers' rivalry with the Boston Celtics</b></h2>
The Boston Celtics and the Lakers are the two most successful teams in the league with 17 championships each. The Lakers and Celtics also have one of the biggest and longest rivalries in sports history. The rivalry between the two started in 1959 when they first faced each other in the Finals. The two have battled in the Finals a record 12 times in which the Celtics mostly came out on top.

In 1959, the Celtics swept the Lakers for the title. The Celtics continued their dominance over the Lakers by winning a mindboggling eight straight Finals, winning in 1959, 1962, 1963, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969 and 1984 over the Lakers. This was a massive blow to the franchise and its loyal fans who felt that their opponents were simply unbeatable. However, the Lakers finally overcame this streak and won the championship against the Celtics in 1985 and then again in 1987.

After the 1987 Finals, the Lakers and the Celtics once again locked horns in 2008 where Boston came out victorious. The teams again clashed in the 2010 Finals with the Lakers clinching the title this time. While the Celtics have won 9, the Lakers have won 3 in their 12 Finals showdowns so far.
<h2><b>How many numbers have the Lakers retired?</b></h2>
The Lakers have always been fortunate to have some of the most storied players on their roster for a long time. Therefore, so far, the team has 14 names on their rafters. The jerseys of legends George Mikan (99), Elgin Baylor (22), <span style="font-weight: 400">Jerry West (44), Wilt Chamberlain</span> (13), Gail Goodrich (25), Kareem <span style="font-weight: 400">Abdul-Jabbar (33), Magic Johnson (32), James Worthy (42), Jamaal Wilkes (52), Shaquille O?Neal (34), Kobe Bryant (8, 24) and Pau Gasol (16) have been retired. Legendary broadcaster Chick Hearn's name is also up on the rafters.</span>
<h2><b>Laker Girls: The owner's game-changing entertainment addition</b></h2>
Dr. Jerry Buss was a visionary who revolutionized the league with his entertainment and marketing ideas. The legendary team owner wanted the Lakers to be entertaining on and off the court to bring fans to the arena and to popularize the game in the country and around the world. One of Dr. Buss' important innovations was the Laker Girls.

The late owner ordered a formation of a dance squad with highly talented female dancers. While the idea received some backlash early on, it became widely accepted. While the Showtime Lakers entertained fans with their up-tempo style of play, the Laker Girls kept the crowd going with their dances during breaks.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Head Coach and Top Executives</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">1994 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> champion Scott Brooks has been serving as the Wizards? 24th head coach since 2016. Brooks has been affiliated with the NBA for a long time, both as a player and a coach. His three-year stint with the Houston Rockets earned him a championship ring as a player.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Brooks signed up for NBA?s Head Coaching duties when he joined the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> in 2008. He was a key figure in guiding the young core all the way to the NBA finals in 2012. However, OKC fired him seven years later, even though Brooks recorded a </span><a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/brooksc01c.html"><span style="font-weight: 400">62.0%</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> success rate during his stint.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Wizards hired him in 2016, and he found himself working with a similar group of players once again. The roster was filled with young talents who needed a leader to set the right tone. Brooks is yet to reach past the second round of the playoffs with the Wizards, and there are a lot of hopes riding on him.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">As for the Wizards? General Manager, </span><a href="https://www.nba.com/wizards/gm-tommy-sheppard"><span style="font-weight: 400">Tommy Sheppard</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> has been filling in the role. He is a long-standing member of the Wizards franchise and has worked with various departments before being promoted as the GM.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>History</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Wizards were initially established in 1961 as the Chicago Packers and quickly renamed as Chicago Zephyrs in the subsequent season. Relocations to Maryland and the capital city of Washington D.C. swiftly took place in the 1970s, and they finally rebranded as the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">?Washington Wizards?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> in 1997.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Since their inception, the Wizards have had mixed results with respect to their postseason contention. The team?s most successful era came during the 70s, where they won the NBA championship.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Hall of Famer Wes Unseld played for the franchise from 1968 to 1981 and proved to be a perennial figure towards their success. Under his leadership, the Wizards made the finals thrice in five years and won the championship in 1978.?</span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-435257 aligncenter" src="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/wes-unseld-dead-74.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Unseld is still the only Wizards player to ever win a regular-season MVP award, an honor which he won during a historic rookie season. Following Unseld?s departure, the team only made first-round visits to the playoffs, where they were knocked out by their Eastern conference opponents quite comfortably.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Ever since the 90s decade, the franchise developed an inconsistent form, where they struggled to make it to the playoffs. Even if they did, they could not get past the first round, which proved to be a major disappointment.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan came out of retirement and joined the team in 2001 when he was 38-years-old. He bought a minority stake in the franchise and plied his return to assume more control of the team.?</span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-279466 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200529181443/michael-jordan-wizards.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Even though an aged Jordan put up impressive numbers, a string of injuries left the Wizards wounded and gasping for inspiration. The lack of several factors put them down, and as a result, they struggled in the subsequent years as well.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Washington Wizards: Mascot and Uniform</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">G-WIZ has been the official mascot of the Washington Wizards since 1997. His best friends include the loyal Wizards fans and all the children who visit the arena! He?s often </span><a href="https://www.nba.com/wizards/g-wiz"><span style="font-weight: 400">referred</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> to as the </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400">?trickiest mascot in the NBA?</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400"> by the franchise.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">There are plenty of details which one can acquire about G-Wiz! For instance, his favorite number is #5, and his favorite TV shows </span><a href="https://www.nba.com/wizards/kids-club-meet-g-wiz"><span style="font-weight: 400">include</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> 'Phineas and Ferb' and 'Inside the NBA'.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">As for the Wizards? uniforms, the concept of Home and Road jerseys changed when Nike took over the deal in 2017. They wear white ?Association? uniforms, navy ?Statement? uniforms, and red ?Icon? uniforms.?</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Team?s Sponsors</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Government Employees Insurance Company (GEICO) serves as the main sponsor of the Wizards franchise. They signed a multi-year deal in 2018, which made them the jersey sponsors of the team. The insurance company?s logo has been on the Wizards? uniform since.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Besides GEICO, the franchise has tie-ups with other companies like William Hill, Mahindra Group, NEC Corporation to name a few.?</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Anthony Davis: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</strong></h2>
Anthony Davis currently plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-2019-20-los-angeles-lakers-full-roster/">Los Angeles Lakers</a> in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He started his career in the league with New Orleans Pelicans, or New Orleans Hornets as it was known then.

Born March 11, 1993, Davis became the 2012 NBA Draft's first overall pick after just one season of college basketball for the University of Kentucky. Moreover, it just took him one more year to become an NBA all-star.

[caption id="attachment_642821" align="alignnone" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-642821" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-05-10T044523Z_175423973_MT1USATODAY16056713_RTRMADP_3_NBA-PHOENIX-SUNS-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS.jpg" alt="Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis" width="1920" height="1280" /> May 9, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (3) reacts after a dunk during the second half against the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports[/caption]

He made his first playoff appearance in 2015. In the next season, he signed a five-year, $145 million contract extension with the Pelicans. However, a few months into the season, Davis' season ended due to shoulder and knee injuries.

Davis has several tattoos on his body, a few visible while playing ball. Notably, he has a tattoo of Mamba as a tribute to<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kobe-bryant/"> Kobe Bryant</a>.
<h2><strong>Anthony Davis and Los Angeles Lakers</strong></h2>
After Magic Johnson brought in <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/">LeBron James</a> to the Lakers, he also made attempts to bring Anthony Davis to LA. After failing to sign him during the 2018/19 season, Davis requested a trade with the Pelicans. In the following off-season, the Lakers signed Davis to form an enviable duo of James and Davis. Together, they led the Lakers to the franchise's 17th NBA championship in 2020. It was Davis's first championship.

Ever since that victory, Davis' career has been marred due to multiple injuries. Despite a disappointing season in which the Lakers missed the Playoffs, the front office hopes that the team can make a comeback. Given how successful his partnership with LeBron James has been, AD will hope to add more championships and laurels to his trophy cabinet. Although the last couple of seasons have been injury prone for him, a terrific comeback is on the cards.

<h2><strong>Anthony Davis stats</strong></h2>

Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis: Net worth, salary, and endorsements Anthony Davis currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He started his career in the league with New Orleans Pelicans, or New Orleans Hornets as it was known then. Born March 11, 1993, Davis became the 2012 NBA Draft&#8217;s first overall pick after just one season of college basketball for the University of Kentucky. Moreover, it just took him one more year to become an NBA all-star. May 9, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (3) reacts after a dunk during the second half against the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center. Mandatory Credit: Kelvin Kuo-USA TODAY Sports He made his first playoff appearance in 2015. In the next season, he signed a five-year, $145 million contract extension with the Pelicans. However, a few months into the season, Davis&#8217; season ended due to shoulder and knee injuries. Davis has several tattoos on his body, a few visible while playing ball. Notably, he has a tattoo of Mamba as a tribute to Kobe Bryant. Anthony Davis and Los Angeles Lakers After Magic Johnson brought in LeBron James to the Lakers, he also made attempts to bring Anthony Davis to LA. After failing to sign him during the 2018/19 season, Davis requested a trade with the Pelicans. In the following off-season, the Lakers signed Davis to form an enviable duo of James and Davis. Together, they led the Lakers to the franchise&#8217;s 17th NBA championship in 2020. It was Davis&#8217;s first championship. Ever since that victory, Davis&#8217; career has been marred due to multiple injuries. Despite a disappointing season in which the Lakers missed the Playoffs, the front office hopes that the team can make a comeback. Given how successful his partnership with LeBron James has been, AD will hope to add more championships and laurels to his trophy cabinet. Although the last couple of seasons have been injury prone for him, a terrific comeback is on the cards. Major achievements NBA Champion (2020) 8?

Since then, he has been an integral part of the Wizards' unit.
<h3>Bradley Beal with the Washington Wizards</h3>
Ever since his debut, Bradley Beal showed promising signs of being a star. Starting alongside John Wall, Beal formed an incredible backcourt duo for the Wizards.

For the first four seasons though Beal's numbers did not take a big jump as he continued to be a 16 point per game scorer in the NBA. But he truly stepped in the 2016-17 season. Averaging about 23 points per game, Beal's scoring potential was visible.

If 2016-17 was a breakout season for Beal, 2019-20 season was the one were Beal unleashed himself. Averaging 30.5 points, 6.1 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game, the 28-year-old was the second best scorer in the league only topped by James Harden.

The same trend continued in the 2020-21 season. While he did share the court with a dynamic point guard like Russell Westbrook, the scoring load was still the same. Averaging 31.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, Beal was the second highest scorer in the league yet again and led his team to a playoff berth as well.

While Beal has become one of the best scorers in the game, post season success has been scarce. Can the Wizards help Beal by pairing him up with a second star or is a first round exit the best Beal and Co. can achieve?

<strong>Kyle Kuzma 2021: Net worth, salary &amp; endorsements</strong>

Kyle Kuzma is an <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a> player currently playing for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/washington-wizards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Wizards</a>. He is the son of Karri Kuzma, who played shot put at the high school level.

Kuzma attended Bentley High School in Michigan and later played college basketball for Utah. He came into the NBA via the 2017 draft, where Brooklyn Nets selected him as a first-round pick. Kuzma, however, moved to Los Angeles Lakers in a draft-day trade. After keeping him on the roster for four seasons, the LA-based franchise then traded him to the Wizards.

Kyle Kuzma usually plays in the power forward position and has sported jersey no. 0.
<h2>Kyle Kuzma and Los Angeles Lakers</h2>
Kuzma played four complete seasons with the Lakers and represented them in two postseasons. As the Lakers were rebuilding their side, many believed Kuzma could be a future star in the team. However, his impact in purple and gold remained mediocre as he ended the 2020-21 season on a poor note.

<h2>Kyle Kuzma?s stats</h2>
<a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kuzmaky01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kriss Kross Kuzma</a> averaged 12.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game in the 2020-21 NBA season.
<h2>Kyle Kuzma?s 2021 net worth and endorsements</h2>
Celebrity Net Worth estimates the net worth of Kuzma as $3 million (updated on September 29, 2021). Kuzma signed a 3-year rookie extension contract with the Lakers. According to Spotrac, his contract is worth $39 million equally divided over three years. He will be an unrestricted free agent at a 29-YO age in 2024.

Kuzma signed a five-year sneaker deal with Puma. He also endorses the GOAT (Greatest of All-Time) app.
<h2>Kyle Kuzma charity</h2>
