Acknowledging the hype and enthusiasm of football, Garima loves the entertainment element of the NFL arena.

If god created a rookie version of Patrick Mahomes, it would be CJ Stroud. Actually, it already is as the Texans’ rookie QB shattered the record of [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nfl-active-news-c-j-stroud-surpasses-patrick-mahomes-while-breaking-twenty-one-year-nfl-record-with-clutch-performance-vs-bucs/] Chiefs’ QB in the past hours. The Texans dragged the game out of the Buccaneers’ reach slowly, with the fourth quarter alone accounting for 31 points. But the game will be known for something much more exciting, as Stroud broke the all-time rookie QB passing yards record in the win. The display was so overwhelming it made the NBA’s King James come and cheer for Stroud, despite him recovering from yesterday’s loss against the Magic. LEBRON JAMES EXITED FOR CJ STROUD The Lakers lost the Magic matchup despite giving their all, losing 120-101. Captain LeBron James is understandably the one with the most grievance given his added responsibility. But Texans’s CJ Stroud made his day light up with his 470-yard, 5-touchdown display against the Buccaneers. Especially when the point forward really needed it. King James has wasted no time in sharing his appreciation for the rookie quarterback, as this post suggests. James wrote “C.J. Stroud”, followed by a few shouting emojis, and ending with “That’s all”. Implying his name spoke for itself. And it really did. Just ask the clueless Bucs defense that couldn’t believe what was happening every time Stroud threw a pass. Patrick Mahomes would be proud. 

LeBron James did not have a great Saturday following a close defeat, but his
Sunday was for sure lit up by CJ Stroud and his new record.

<p style="text-align: center">The club got its start as an expansion team back in 2002 and they are the youngest franchise currently in the league.

However, the Texans have won six AFC South championships spanning from 2011 to 2019.</p>

<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>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.

<h3>NFL</h3>
<h3>History</h3>
In August 1920, representatives from four states: Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton, held a meeting and formed the American Professional Football Conference (APFC) to improve footballing standards in the country. A month later, they formed the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and played a league with 14 teams. In 1922, they changed the name to the National Football League (NFL).

In 1960, a new professional league, the American Football League (AFL) started as a competition against the NFL. After six years, in 1966, the two leagues announced a merger that would take effect in 1970. During the four years between the announcement and the actual merger, the leagues started playing a Championship game which was called The Super Bowl. Since then, the two leagues have been recognized as two separate conferences within the same league, the NFL.
<h3>Participating teams</h3>
There are 32 teams in the NFL divided equally into two conferences: National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into 4 divisions: East, North, South, and West, with each division containing four teams.

NFL History In August 1920, representatives from four states: Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton, held a meeting and formed the American Professional Football Conference (APFC) to improve footballing standards in the country. A month later, they formed the American Professional Football Association (APFA) and played a league with 14 teams. In 1922, they changed the name to the National Football League (NFL). In 1960, a new professional league, the American Football League (AFL) started as a competition against the NFL. After six years, in 1966, the two leagues announced a merger that would take effect in 1970. During the four years between the announcement and the actual merger, the leagues started playing a Championship game which was called The Super Bowl. Since then, the two leagues have been recognized as two separate conferences within the same league, the NFL. Participating teams There are 32 teams in the NFL divided equally into two conferences: National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). Each conference is further divided into 4 divisions: East, North, South, and West, with each division containing four teams. American Football Conference (AFC)  East Buffalo Bills Miami Dolphins New England Patriots New York Jets  North Baltimore Ravens Cincinnati Bengals Cleveland Browns Pittsburgh Steelers  South Houston Texans Indianapolis Colts Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee Titans  West Denver Broncos Kansas City Chiefs Las Vegas Raiders Los Angeles Chargers   National Football Conference (NFC) Dallas Cowboys New York Giants Philadelphia Eagles Washington Commanders  North Chicago Bears Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings  South Atlanta Falcons Carolina Panthers New Orleans Saints Tampa Bay Buccaneers  West Arizona Cardinals Los Angeles Rams San Francisco 49ers Seattle Seahawks

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Orlando Magic compete in the NBA as a part of the Southeast Division in the Eastern Conference. The franchise has made it to the NBA finals twice, but is yet to win a championship.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Just like their name, the Orlando Magic try to keep their logo as an attractive element. The design contains a magical basketball with trails, on top of which the team?s name is arched in black and blue.?</span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-425944 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201028141555/1200px-Orlando_Magic_logo.svg.png" alt="" width="1200" height="872" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">Furthermore, the Orlando Magic play their home games at the Amway Center, a major sports and entertainment arena located in the city. The Magic moved to the Amway Center in 2010, and the league hosted the 2012 All-Star weekend in this arena.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who owns the Orlando Magic??</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">American businessman Richard DeVos founded RDV Sports Inc to acquire the Orlando Magic in 1991. The franchise was under his control, and DeVos also owned the WNBA?s Orlando Miracle for a few years.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">After DeVos? death, the ownership passed on to the RDV corporation, but Chief Executive Officer Alex Martins takes care of the day-to-day activities at the franchise. Moreover, Richard DeVos? son Dan took over his father?s role as Chairman/Governor of the franchise after his passing.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Head Coach and Top Executives</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Magic hired Steve Clifford to take over head coaching duties in 2018. Clifford?s coaching stints in the NBA have come through the Charlotte Hornets and now, the Magic. He has plenty of experience in his field and has served as an assistant on numerous teams.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Clifford spent five seasons in Charlotte, where he registered a 196-214 </span><a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/coaches/cliffst99c.html"><span style="font-weight: 400">record</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> before joining the Orlando Magic. The 59-year-old posted a winning record in his very first season as Magic?s coach and took them to the playoffs.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Furthermore, Alex Martin has been the long-serving CEO of the franchise. He took over the duties in 2006 and has been holding office ever since. Former Bucks? General Manager John Hammond currently serves the same role with the Orlando Magic.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The Magic made major changes back in 2017 when they </span><a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2711208-jeff-weltman-reportedly-hired-by-magic-as-president-of-basketball-operations"><span style="font-weight: 400">hired</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> Jeff Weltman as the President of Basketball Operations. He signed with the team on a five-year deal and left his role as the Raptors? GM and moved to Orlando.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>History</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Orlando Magic came into the NBA as an expansion team in 1989, along with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/minnesota-timberwolves/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Minnesota Timberwolves</a>. Although the first few years were a struggle, the franchise blossomed when they made the most out of their back-to-back #1 draft picks in 1992 and 1993.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Much to the city?s delight, the Orlando Magic emerged as one of the bright contenders in the 90s. The team was powered by the dynamic pairing of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shaquille-oneal/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shaquille O?Neal</a> and Penny Hardaway, who dazzled with their on-court chemistry.?</span>

<img class="size-full wp-image-425946 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201028141850/shaquille-oneal-anfernee-hardaway_y41sv7dr8qc915alcdhy56fav.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

<span style="font-weight: 400">They enjoyed rapid success by making it to the 1995 NBA Finals, but Hakeem Olajuwon and the Houston Rockets swept them to end the Magic?s campaign on a disappointment.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">O?Neal left the team in 1996 and joined the Los Angeles Lakers, causing a major rift in the franchise. With O?Neal gone and Hardaway down with injury woes, the Orlando Magic lost their spark and found it tough during their postseason runs.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">However, the Magic once again struck gold in the NBA draft when they selected Dwight Howard with the #1 pick in 2004. Howard evolved as a defensive rock in the league and guided the team to the finals in 2009. During his Magic stint, Howard became the first player to win Defensive Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The 2010s decade began on a dull note and hasn?t picked up well in terms of playoff success. The team only has four postseason appearances since 2011, a record that they would be willing to shatter in the coming years.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Orlando Magic: Mascot and Uniforms</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The Magic has an official mascot who goes by the name <em>?Stuff the Magic Dragon.?</em> His name is a play on an old folk song called ?Puff the Magic Dragon.? They replaced Puff with Stuff to denote his dunking skills.?</span>

<a href="http://sportmascots.com/nba/stuff-magic-dragon-orlando-magic/"><span style="font-weight: 400">Stuff</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400"> is a well-loved mascot by everyone in the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a>, who has even made famous TV appearances. Rival mascots join him during Magic?s home games and put on quite a show for the fans. Stuff was named Mascot of the Year in 2016 and has been with the franchise since its inception.?</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Owing to their name and heritage, the Magic?s primary colors are blue, black, and silver. But since the Nike deal happened, the team has also been wearing white ?Association? uniforms besides sporting jerseys in the team?s primary colors.?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Team?s Sponsors</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The magic has an attractive sponsor in Walt Disney World. Everything goes with the name, as Disney is perfect as the team?s sponsor, due to the franchise?s magical beliefs. Disney struck a three-year deal with the team to become their jersey sponsors, and their patches are quite attractive!</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Besides Disney, the Magic has <a href="https://sponsorpitch.com/properties/orlando-magic" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">tie-ups</a> with Uber, Nike, Olive Garden, ReplyBuy, and several other companies as well.?</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report</b></h2>
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">The Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the NFL for the <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/1976/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1976</a> season, along with the Seattle Seahawks. The franchise went winless in its debut and is one of two teams to not register a single win over the course of a regular season. However, as it was their debut year, fans looked past this as the team had to settle down.?</span></p>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-406859" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201011152941/6784_tampa_bay_buccaneers-primary_dark-2020-1.jpg" alt="" width="843" height="547" />
<p style="text-align: center"><span style="font-weight: 400">They started off in the AFC before joining the NFC where they won their first football games only towards the end of their second season. The statistic makes their divisional triumph in the 3rd season that much more astounding.?</span></p>

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2022: News, Schedule, Roster, Score, Injury Report The Tampa Bay Buccaneers joined the NFL for the 1976 season, along with the Seattle Seahawks. The franchise went winless in its debut and is one of two teams to not register a single win over the course of a regular season. However, as it was their debut year, fans looked past this as the team had to settle down.? They started off in the AFC before joining the NFC where they won their first football games only towards the end of their second season. The statistic makes their divisional triumph in the 3rd season that much more astounding.? In 2020, the franchise signed free agent quarterback Tom Brady. The signing bolstered their squad, and in the eyes of analysts, it would serve as the missing link between a strong team and a unit that could make it to the postseason.
