Why do the Lakers call them Lakers?

Because the Lakers moved here from Minneapolis in' 60. Minneapolis is known as the "state of thousands of lakes", and there are many lakes, so the team chose the local logo as the team name. After moving to Los Angeles, the name remained.

Los Angeles Lakers is a traditional strong team in NBA. By the end of 15, the Lakers had entered the playoffs 56 times, won the Western Conference championship 3 1 time and won the championship 16 times, second only to the Boston Celtics. The highest winning streak is 33 games (the highest in NBA history).

The biggest feature of the Lakers is that there are always super centers associated with them, including George McCann, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and shaquille O 'Neill.

The origin of the NBA team name ■ The team name that reflects the characteristics of the city is the Lakers, which was founded in 1948. The earliest city was Pohris, Minnesota, then called Minneapolis Pohris Lakers. Because there are many lakes in Minnesota, it is called "10000 lake land", so the team name is given. The Lakers moved to Los Angeles on 1960 due to team management problems, but did not change its name. Jazz was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, where it thrives and is known as the "Jazz Capital of the World". 1974, the top management of the team decided to use the name that best represents the city as the team name. Until 1979, the team moved to salt lake city, and the team name continued to this day. ■ The team name chosen by the boss was established in Chicago Bulls at 1966. Richard Klein, the first boss, personally chose the name "Bull" because he believed that the aggressive bull symbolized the spirit that the team must never relax, fight to the end and never give up. There is also a saying that Chicago is the largest cattle slaughter market in the United States, and there are many beef products, so it is named after the characteristics of the city. Boston Celtics and new york Knicks, both belonging to BAA (Basketball Association of, later merged with National Basketball League to form NBA), are unique since the establishment of NBA 1946, and the teams have always been in the same two teams in the urban war. Walter brown, the first owner of the Celtics, was the head of the Boston Garden Arena Company. He joined professional basketball because he hoped that basketball games would fill the nights when there were no boxing or ice hockey games in the winter stadium. Brown thought of many team names, including whirlwind, Olympics, unicorn and so on. Finally, I chose the Irish racial name "Celtic" because there are many Irish descendants in Boston, which is the same as the early new york team named "original Celtic" (19 14-66). Ned Irish, the first owner of new york Knicks, chose the name Knickerbockers, which is of great significance in the history of new york. Interestingly, the first organized baseball team in history was also called new york knickerbockers, or knickerbockers nine. The word "bloomers" can be traced back to Dutch immigrants who crossed the Atlantic Ocean and settled in new york in the 6th century. The bloomers they wear are called bloomers or bloomers, and the length is only below the knee. Because the full name is too long, it is now abbreviated as "Knicks". The first home was in Fort wayne, Indiana (Fort? Wayne, Indiana) Piston, then called fortress? Wayne? Czollner Piston, the name of the team is based on the surname of owner Fred Czollner and his automobile piston factory. 1957, Czollner moved the team to Detroit in order to expand the team market. Just as Detroit is famous for its automobile industry, it is called "automobile city" and "automobile capital of the world", so the name of the team continues to this day. ■ Team name 1987 from the "Name Team" competition. 1On April 22nd, 987, the NBA set up expansion teams in Charlotte, Orlando, Minnesota and Miami. The owners of these four teams invariably handed the responsibility of naming to the fans and held their own voting activities to name the teams. In Charlotte's case, the fans overthrew the "Charlotte spirit" first put forward by the team. After the team eliminated the names recommended by the fans to the last six, the Hornets stood out. And why is the bumblebee loved by Charlotte citizens? It is said that during the civil war, wasps abounded near Charlotte drove away the northern troops for the southern troops stationed there, so wasps were regarded as Charlotte's mascots. In 2002, due to the failure of negotiations with the municipal government on the expansion of the stadium, the team moved to New Orleans, and the name of the team did not change. Miami, on the other hand, chose the heat from the shortlist of sharks, tornadoes, beaches and barracuda, representing Miami's hot and sunny climate all year round. ? The magic cast by Orlando is similar to the slogan "Come to magic" shouted by the city to promote tourism. The magic mountain of Disney paradise is in Orlando. After several rounds of voting, Minnesota eliminated the last two names, Timberwolves and Polars. The timberwolves finally won the favor with the ratio of 2: 1, on the grounds that timberwolves are the characteristics of the state. Minnesota has the largest number of wooden wolves except Alaska. Dallas residents choose "calf" to compare the image of "cowboy" in Texas. Phoenix chose "the sun" to explain Arizona's sunny tropical climate all year round. 1967, Seattle voted "Supersonic" as the team name, because Boeing, the largest civil aircraft manufacturing company, is located in Seattle. At that time, Boeing had just put forward a passenger plane manufacturing plan called "supersonic transport plane", and more than 200 people proposed to use supersonic as the team name. Although it was finally voted through, Boeing's plan for this new passenger plane fell by the wayside. 1967, at the beginning of the team building in Cleveland, people were asked to nominate new team names to local newspapers, and the result was that "Knight" was selected from the screen. 1967, Portland decided to use the Blazers as the team name in a vote with more than 10000 people. 1968, Milwaukee was also chosen as the team name by local residents. The public thinks this name can best reflect the rural customs of Wisconsin. Other candidate team names are Buck, Beaver, Hornet, Pony and so on. The Houston Rockets, originally located in San Diego, California, chose the name "Rocket" according to the nickname "City in Motion" in San Diego. 197 1 After moving to Houston, Texas, Houston happens to be the seat of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which is more in line with the name of the Rocket Team? # 123; The team decided to keep the original name. It is said that no team has been stationed in San Diego since the Rockets moved away. 1978, Buffalo Braves, originally in the eastern state of New York, finally moved to the west, but the team's top management thought that the name of the Braves did not conform to the image of San Diego at all. After a popular vote, San Diego, which is famous for its water sports, is named after the clippers that can be seen everywhere by the sea. 1984, the speedboat moved from San Diego to Los Angeles not far away, making Los Angeles the first city to have two NBA teams at the same time. The name of the Toronto Raptors was also voted by the citizens. The origin of the team name of Vancouver Grizzlies is because grizzlies are symbolic in the aboriginal culture in the northwest of the United States, and British Columbia, where Vancouver is located, has nearly 20,000 grizzlies, so it is natural to choose Grizzlies as the team name of Vancouver. 200 1, Grizzlies moved to Memphis, and the team name remained unchanged. ■ Changing the team name because of moving is sometimes not a simple matter. Atlanta is a good example. In the past 20 years, Atlanta Hawks have moved to three cities, and it was not until 1968 that they took root in Atlanta. The original name of the Hawks Team was Tri-city Black Hawk, named after the famous Suk Indian Chief Black Hawk. During the period of 1948, the team took three very close small cities as their homes: Moline, Illinois, Rock Island and Davenport, Iowa. Chief Black Hawk Tribe is located on Rock Island, 183 1 The famous Battle of Black Hawk is also here. 195 1 year, the team moved to milwaukee in the north, and its name was called eagle for short. Only four years later, the team moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and changed its name to St. Louis Hawks. 13 years later, the eagle moved to Atlanta again. 1967 Danver, who joined another professional league ABA (American Basketball Association), was named Denver Rockets. 1974-75 After the season ended, ABA announced that Denver had joined the NBA because of poor management. At that time, the name "rocket" had been occupied, so Denver had to be renamed "Nugget" because the Rocky Mountain area where Denver was located was a gathering place for early gold miners. Now the Golden State Warriors, originally from Philadelphia, are called Philadelphia Warriors. The name comes from a Philadelphia Warriors in ABL (American Basketball League) in 1925. After struggling in Philadelphia for 16 years, the team traveled all over the United States and moved to San Francisco on the west coast, and changed its name to San Francisco Warriors. 197 1 year, the Warriors moved to Oakland near San Francisco. In order to show that they can represent the whole California team, they changed their name to Golden State Warriors. The Nets, founded in 1967, moved to Cormac, Long Island in the summer of 1968, and changed its name to new york Nets. The team name is very simple, named after the Nets, and playing basketball is indispensable. 1977-78 Before the start of the season, the Nets moved back to New Jersey and kept their original name. King Sacramento's team name also changed several times. Its founder was a member of the Rochester royal family who joined NBL in 1945. 1957 The team moved to Cincinnati and changed its name to Cincinnati Royals; ; 1972 moved to Kansas City, Missouri, and changed its name to Kansas City-Omaha Kings, because part of the team played in Omaha, Nebraska. 1975, Omaha was officially removed from the team name. 1985, the team moved for the nth time, and this time it settled in Sacramento, the capital of California, with the same team name. 1973 The Spurs moved to San Antonio. In 1967, they formed a team called Dallas Chaparrals, which spread all over Texas and Mexico. 1970, it was renamed Chaparrals, Texas, to arouse the state's sense of identity, but it was changed back to Dallas a year later. After moving to San Antonio, after public voting, I chose the Spurs, which can represent the scenery and culture of Texas, because the Spurs are an indispensable tool for every cowboy. 1967, Indiana Zou Ma decided their team name in a way different from all other teams: the top management named the team after its goal. Because they want to be the leader of professional basketball, they are named after the pacers. Another way of saying it is that the walkers come from the "walkers" in the Indy 500 racing car held every year in Bohris, Indiana. 1963 In the spring, Philadelphia once again had a professional basketball team after the original Warriors moved to San Francisco. The team owner first bought Syracuse Nats, and later renamed the team "76ers". This team name was signed at the Independence Memorial Hall in Philadelphia on July 4th to commemorate 1776, which is an epoch-making declaration of independence of the United States. 1997 Washington, whose name is changed from bullet to wizard, will have a headache. When 196 1 was founded, the original name of the team was Chicago Packers, because the main business of the owner, David Trager, was a packaging factory. A year later, the name of the team was changed to Chicago West Wind Team. 1963, the team moved to Baltimore. Because Baltimore was a very important weapon production town during World War II, it was renamed Baltimore Bullets. 1973-74 season, they moved to Randolph and changed their name to "Congressional Bullets". However, times have changed. In the modern society, which is eager to eliminate the spirit of violence, the name of bullet seems to be somewhat inappropriate, so the boss Abe Bolin decided to change the name of the team to Wizards in the 1997-98 football season.
