The Grandeur of the LA Lakers dates back to 1946, when the team originated as the Detroit Gems. In 1947, the franchise moved to Minneapolis and adopted the name 'Lakers', in reference to the 'land of 10,000 lakes' state nickname. The Lakers relocated to LA in 1960-61 and Shaquille O'Neal had a legendary season in 1996-97. This Swingman jersey immortalizes his exquisite play and enables wearers to replicate his moves both on and off the court.
