The Lakers Nation started two years ago to accomplish what the Lakers have accomplished today.
The city of Los Angeles is celebrating the franchises 15th World Championship, the first in 7 years. Kobe Bryant has validated his career as a winner with his fourth championship ring, and Phil Jackson has won his 10th ring.
Continue visiting the website throughout the day for more up to the minute coverage of the Lakers 15th championship, and check back for Champonship gear right here on TLN.
Give us your take on the victory by calling it on hotline at 1-866–520-4037
We thank you for your continued support, united we won!

With all due respect to Irish people everywhere — I cannot wear green, and if you’re reading this, I know you can’t either.
Well, in honor of our dedication to the city of Los Angeles and its sports franchise (maybe more so for our Celtic hate), The Lakers Nation would like to flip the script for every St. Patrick’s Day here on out. We’re calling on all Lakers fans everywhere to dump the green for purple and gold. Now, we understand the troubles that come with not wearing traditional green, but I assure you all — if you live in the greater Los Angeles area, people will understand, you will be spared.
Remember, its always better to get a pinch or two, than lose your pride.

TheLakersNation.com will be holding a live Q&A session with Lakers play-by-play announcer, Spero Dedes on Wednesday, October 8th at 11:00am PST.
We’ll give you all a chance to ask away any questions you have for Spero, as he will do his best to answer them.
Dedes is the radio voice of the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as a play-by-play announcer and host for the NFL Network. Previously, he was the host of NBA TV’s Hardwood Classics and The Insiders.
TLN got mentioned on Ball Dont Lie’s list of the top Lakers blogs on the net…
3. The Lakers Nation - An up and comer, kids. Look out.
2. Lakers Blog (L.A. Times) – They think I’m a hater (and they can’t defend that, because while I didn’t read that post, I did hit CTRL-F and searched for the word “hater,” and found it. Check and mate), but the brothers Kamenetzky run a fabulous MSM blog. Always coming through with the sort of posts I love to write and love to read from others.
1. Forum Blue and Gold - It’s a great thing when a team as prominent and important and as successful as the Lakers has a blog that lives up to the franchise’s exalted stature. I don’t want to sound too breathless in describing Kurt’s work, but anyone who’s ever read a game preview, or his nuanced (nuance like you wouldn’t believe, bro-tha) takes, or the way he turns a phrase and then uses actual evidence to support it … it’s an amazing thing, this site.
From the creators of the Kobe/Gasol 08 bumper sticker.
TheLakersNation.com is proud to exclusively present the “Vittiz”.




When the fans found out about Kobe Bryant deciding to sacrifice pinky surgery to repair his hand for a shot at the NBA championship, we wanted to reciprocate the dedication right back to the reigning league MVP.
For the fans, from the fans, we have created the Vittiz. Exclusively made by Gamer’s Gear LLC and available only at TheLakersNation.com, the Vittiz is a way for you to show the love, honor and support of his decision to play this upcoming season.
Sport the Vittiz in appreciation for the man who helped lead and give respect back to USA Basketball!

You can purchase the “Vittiz” and get more details at the new TLN Store!
