I'm sure you knew this, but the Lakers originated in Minneapolis, won 3 titles? I believe and moved to L.A.
Los Angeles never changed the name (must've liked it) though not a ton of lakes in L.A.
I actually never thought about the name "Lakers", makes sense given the team's origin.
Yep, I'm really hoping Howard's and Gasol's back and knee problems don't cause problems for them during the season (and that no unexpected injuries sideline any of the other key players).
Gonna be some hoops at a whole new level this season, imo.
