The Dynasty That Never Was: The Story of the 60's Lakers

from An Idiot's Guide to Sports History · host The Culture Clubhouse

The 1960s Los Angeles Lakers were one of the most talented teams in basketball history, led by legends like Elgin Baylor, Jerry West, and later Wilt Chamberlain. They revolutionized offense, dominated the league, and reached the NBA Finals again and again.There was just one problem: the Boston Celtics.From heartbreaking Game 7 losses to historic performances that still weren’t enough, this is the story of a team that did everything right, and still couldn’t win when it mattered most. A dynasty-level squad, defined not by failure, but by the misfortune of existing at the same time as the greatest dynasty the NBA has ever seen.This is the story of greatness, overshadowed by history.► Music Credit: LAKEY INSPIREDTrack Name: "Blue Boi"Music By: LAKEY INSPIRED @   / lakeyinspired  Original upload HERE -    • LAKEY INSPIRED - Blue Boi  Official "LAKEY INSPIRED" YouTube Channel HERE -    / @lakeyinspired  License for commercial use: Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported "Share Alike" (CC BY-SA 3.0) License.Full License HERE - https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...Music promoted by NCM https://goo.gl/fh3rEJ
