Summary
The Magical Season 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers: And the Greatest Record in Pro Sports History profiles the Los Angeles Lakers’ first championship since moving to LA 15 years earlier, but also covers their record-setting 33-game winning streak that season. This record of 33 straight wins, covering over two months of play, still stands unbroken even after 50 years. This accomplishment is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest team records in pro sports history. No other team in any major pro sport has even come close to breaking that record since that achievement in 1972.
This offers a unique insight into those days of yesteryear, with this compilation of the unedited and unadulterated interviews of over TWENTY (20) LA Lakers players, coaches, and other basketball icons of that era. All of these iconic basketball notables were personally interviewed for a TV documentary special covering that season, of which 14 of them are NBA Hall of Famers. John Ireland, the long-time LA Lakers announcer, provides an introduction as well as the summary and impact of this magical season on the NBA, which is still felt in pro basketball to this day.
