    Once upon a time, the Los Angeles Lakers were irrelevant. It was a brief period in their otherwise celebrated history, one which their fans would rather forget… but it happened.

    After losing in the NBA Finals to the Chicago Bulls in 1991, the Lakers took a turn for the worse. Magic Johnson was about to retire. Shaquille O’Neal was still playing in Orlando and a young man named Kobe Bryant was only 13 years old.

    Shortly after that, the Lakers had back to back sub-.500 seasons, something they hadn’t done since the mid-1970s and something that hasn’t happened again… until they flirt with doing so this year.
