Synopsis
When fans heard those words from beloved announcer Chick Hearn late in the game, it meant another Lakers victory was assured. And there have been plenty of victories to go along with 16 World Championships during the club's history from Minneapolis to Los Angeles, all described in detail inside the pages of the Los Angeles Lakers Basketball Vault: The History of a Proud Franchise. This 144-page book explores the history of one of pro basketball's premier franchises, as sportswriter Roland Lazenby weaves a narrative about the names, games and special moments that have helped make the Lakers successful from Mikan to West and from Magic to Kobe. But what makes this detailed "scrapbook" unique are the vintage photographs, artwork and memorabilia discovered in the personal archives of avid Lakers memorabilia collector and SCP Auctions founder David Kohler. Throughout this book, Lakers fans will find reproductions of old game-program covers, historic tickets, stickers and much more.
