Spanning 79 seasons of the franchise from Minneapolis to the Showtime era, the three-peat and the 2020 championship, the 528-page volume blends rare, never-before-published archival photos with essays from legends and celebrity courtside regulars including LeBron James, Luka Dončić, Shaquille O'Neal, Magic Johnson, Jack Nicholson, Flea and Paula Abdul. Four-page gatefolds detail all 17 championship rings, uniform evolution, retired numbers and historic promotional materials. 'The Lakers are a global phenomenon,' said governor Jeanie Buss. The book is on sale now via TASCHEN and the Lakers, with a broader global retail release on 1 October.
