The Los Angeles Lakers franchise was founded in 1947 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League before relocating to Minneapolis and joining the Basketball Association of America in 1948. The team was renamed the Lakers in honor of Minnesota’s nickname, the “Land of 10,000 Lakes.” After winning five championships in Minneapolis, the franchise moved to Los Angeles in 1960.
