1947 Minneapolis Lakers Artwork: Poster
By Vintage Brand™ not affiliated with or sponsored by Minneapolis Lakers
The Lakers' franchise began in 1947 when Ben Berger and Morris Chalfen of Minnesota purchased the recently disbanded Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League (NBL) for $15,000 from Gems owner Maury Winston. Inspired by Minnesota's nickname, "Land of 10,000 Lakes", the team christened themselves the Lakers. In their first season, they led the league with a 43–17 record, later winning the NBL Championship that season. Hall of Famer George Mikan (#99) led the Lakers franchise to their first five NBA championships. He is described by the NBA's official website as the "first superstar" in league history.
