Los Angeles Lakers are one of the teams to be looking forward to in the 2019-20 NBA season. Powered by “King” LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/], and supported by the likes of Anthony Davis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-davis/], the Los Angeles Lakers roster looks strong and is being considered among the top contenders for the NBA Championship. Although Lakers are yet to qualify for the play-offs since the 2012-13 season [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012%E2%80%9313_Los_Angeles_Lakers_season], this season looks like they might get a breakout, providing injuries keep out.

<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.

LeBron James Archives

<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Los Angeles Lakers Histroy</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the biggest and most decorated franchises in NBA history. With few of the most iconic players by its name, it is NBA's one of the most prestigious chapters. The Lakers' franchise initially emerged in 1947. Drawing inspiration from Minnesota's "Land of 10,000 Lakes" nickname, it paved its name. At the time, the Lakers were part of the National Basketball League. Soon, the franchise made a significant leap to the Basketball Association of America (BAA), ultimately lifting titles in the format.?</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">However, its charm dwindled close to the beginning of the 60s, prompting the team to relocate to Los Angeles. Regardless, the franchise's struggle stayed. Even though the Lakers reached the NBA finals six times during the 1960s, they fell short of securing the title each time. However, the Lakers' fortunes changed dramatically soon. With few of the greatest players on its roster, the Lakers paved through 8 NBA finals in the 80s, ultimately securing 5 of those. Furthermore, their dominant era marked an evolutionary checkpoint for the game of basketball.?</span>

[caption id="attachment_2103185" align="aligncenter" width="1437"]<img class="size-full wp-image-2103185" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1030494274h.jpg" alt="" width="1437" height="1920" /> USA TODAY Sports-Historical Dec 1970 USA FILE PHOTO Milwaukee Bucks center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 33 against Los Angeles Lakers center Wilt Chamberlain 13. Unknown Unknown USA, EDITORIAL USE ONLY PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xMalcolmxEmmonsx 11837264[/caption]

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">After their star players in the early 90s, the Lakers again faced a challenging period. This time, they endured their longest-ever NBA finals drought. However, change came in the 1999?2000 season with their new coach and set of young stars, who clinched a three-peat in the early 2000s. After being forced to rebuild, their next congratulations came in 2010, right before marking a grim tenure for the franchise.?</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">After failed all-star calibre collaborations, losing their franchise player to industries, and unfruitful rebuilding, the Lakers shook up their staff. Magic Johnson took over as the president of basketball operations, and soon, good times seemed on its way. Even though Johnson resigned early, his moves are still making noise in the Lakers' success.?</span>
<h2><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Los Angeles Lakers Owners</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">As one of the oldest franchises in the league, the Lakers boast a rich and diverse history. Like any enduring empire, their story unfolds through different eras and different orchestrators.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In 1947, Berger and Chalfen purchased the NBL's Detroit Gems. He transferred them to the Lakers and relocated to Minnesota. Over time, ownership changes ensued. Notable figures like Max Winter and George Mikan came into the picture. In 1957, the Lakers found themselves in the hands of Bob Short's investor group. They initially committed to keep the team in Minnesota. However, due to disappointing attendance and financial challenges, Short decided to move the team to Los Angeles in 1960.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Eventually, Bob Short sold the team to Jack Kent Cooke in 1965. Cooke's ownership of the Lakers continued until 1979, when he orchestrated a substantial sale. It included the Lakers, NHL's Los Angeles Kings, the Forum, and real estate to Jerry Buss for $67 million.?</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Under Buss's leadership, the Lakers set a precedent by introducing stadium sponsorships renaming the Forum to the Great Western Forum in 1988. In 2013, following Buss's passing, his children assumed ownership responsibilities, with Jeanie Buss taking on the role of the Lakers' governor.</span>

Los Angeles Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers Histroy The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the biggest and most decorated franchises in NBA history. With few of the most iconic players by its name, it is NBA&#8217;s one of the most prestigious chapters. The Lakers&#8217; franchise initially emerged in 1947. Drawing inspiration from Minnesota&#8217;s &#8220;Land of 10,000 Lakes&#8221; nickname, it paved its name. At the time, the Lakers were part of the National Basketball League. Soon, the franchise made a significant leap to the Basketball Association of America (BAA), ultimately lifting titles in the format.? However, its charm dwindled close to the beginning of the 60s, prompting the team to relocate to Los Angeles. Regardless, the franchise&#8217;s struggle stayed. Even though the Lakers reached the NBA finals six times during the 1960s, they fell short of securing the title each time. However, the Lakers&#8217; fortunes changed dramatically soon. With few of the greatest players on its roster, the Lakers paved through 8 NBA finals in the 80s, ultimately securing 5 of those. Furthermore, their dominant era marked an evolutionary checkpoint for the game of basketball.? USA TODAY Sports-Historical Dec 1970 USA FILE PHOTO Milwaukee Bucks center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 33 against Los Angeles Lakers center Wilt Chamberlain 13. Unknown Unknown USA, EDITORIAL USE ONLY PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xMalcolmxEmmonsx 11837264 After their star players in the early 90s, the Lakers again faced a challenging period. This time, they endured their longest-ever NBA finals drought. However, change came in the 1999?2000 season with their new coach and set of young stars, who clinched a three-peat in the early 2000s. After being forced to rebuild, their next congratulations came in 2010, right before marking a grim tenure for the franchise.? After failed all-star calibre collaborations, losing their franchise player to industries, and unfruitful rebuilding, the Lakers shook up their staff. Magic Johnson took over as the president of basketball operations, and soon, good times seemed on its way. Even though Johnson resigned early, his moves are still making noise in the Lakers&#8217; success.? Los Angeles Lakers Owners As one of the oldest franchises in the league, the Lakers boast a rich and diverse history. Like any enduring empire, their story unfolds through different eras and different orchestrators. In 1947, Berger and Chalfen purchased the NBL&#8217;s Detroit Gems. He transferred them to the Lakers and relocated to Minnesota. Over time, ownership changes ensued. Notable figures like Max Winter and George Mikan came into the picture. In 1957, the Lakers found themselves in the hands of Bob Short&#8217;s investor group. They initially committed to keep the team in Minnesota. However, due to disappointing attendance and financial challenges, Short decided to move the team to Los Angeles in 1960. Eventually, Bob Short sold the team to Jack Kent Cooke in 1965. Cooke&#8217;s ownership of the Lakers continued until 1979, when he orchestrated a substantial sale. It included the Lakers, NHL&#8217;s Los Angeles Kings, the Forum, and real estate to Jerry Buss for $67 million.? Under Buss&#8217;s leadership, the Lakers set a precedent by introducing stadium sponsorships renaming the Forum to the Great Western Forum in 1988. In 2013, following Buss&#8217;s passing, his children assumed ownership responsibilities, with Jeanie Buss taking on the role of the Lakers&#8217; governor.
