The 17-time World Champion Los Angeles Lakers

Yep, you guessed it. The Lakers are not a Las Vegas team. It just so happens that our founder is a Los Angeles native and a die-hard Los Angeles Lakers fan since the 80s. From Magic and Kareem, to Shaq and Kobe, from Kobe and Pau, to LeBron and AD, and now LeBron and Luka, the Los Angeles Lakers have one of the largest fan bases in the valley — and Franchise Sports Media covers them with the same local perspective we bring to every team we follow.

Legendary UNLV Rebels head coach Jerry Tarkanian almost became the head coach of the Lakers back in the early 80s, to show you how deep the connection is. (We won’t go any further into that 😬). But until Las Vegas gets an NBA franchise of its own, Sin City will be Laker country, and our NBA coverage will be dedicated to the Purple and Gold. Whether you’re watching at the crib watch parties, catching the game at a Las Vegas sports bar, or making the drive to Crypto.com Arena, we’ve got your Lakers news, recaps, and analysis.”

The Franchise will report on the Los Angeles Lakers for Las Vegas with more in-depth coverage than any other news source in The Valley. Stay tuned to this page for all your Los Angeles Lakers news.
