Thanksgiving is here and that means thinking of all of the things that we are thankful for. Fans of the Los Angeles Lakers have a long history of success to enjoy, with names like Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West and many more donning a purple and gold jersey over the years.
However, recent seasons have seen the Lakers struggle as they worked to rebuild their once great franchise. After missing the playoffs for five straight years, Los Angeles is working to begin a new era around superstar free agent LeBron James.
With expectations high once again, the franchise is looking to live up to its glorious past.
