The Los Angeles Lakers
Just a little history on the Lakers
The franchise started with the 1947 purchase of a disbanded team, The Detroit Gems of the NBL.
The new team began play in Minneapolis, Minnesota, calling themselves the Lakers in honor of the state's nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes". The Lakers won five championships in Minneapolis, propelled by center George Mikan, who is described by the NBA'S official website as the league's "first superstar".
After struggling financially in the late 1950's following Mikans retirement they relocated to Los Angeles before the 1960-61 season.
The Lakers have 17 Championships, 32 Conference Titles, 22 Division Titles,
and have retired 7 Players/Jersey numbers
The Lakers are currently 5th in the 2011-12 season with 20 wins and 14 losses
Their official colors are Purple, Gold, and White
I used OPI Funky Dunky and NYX Girls Gilded Glitter perfect combo for the Lakers Purple and Gold main parts of the their Logo
