The 2007–08 Los Angeles Lakers season was the 62nd season of the franchise, 60th in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 48th in Los Angeles. The team celebrated their 60th anniversary, thus the Laker jerseys wore the 60th anniversary patches on the leftmost part. They finished the regular season with 57 wins, finishing with the most wins in the tightest conference race in NBA history. The Lakers clinched the top seed in the playoffs for the 29th time in franchise history. This 15-game turnaround from the prior season has been attributed to the progress of the team's bench players and the mid-season trade for Pau Gasol. The Lakers sold out all 41 home games for the season. After 12 seasons in the NBA, Kobe Bryant was named the 2008 NBA Most Valuable Player for the first time in his career. The Lakers post-season ended by losing the NBA Finals to the Boston Celtics in six games. ==Key dates== * June 28: The 2007 NBA Draft took place in New York City, New York. * July 1: The free agency period started. * October 7: The preseason started with a home game versus the Utah Jazz. *October 28: The regular season started with a home game versus the Houston Rockets. *February 16–17: The 2008 NBA All-Star Weekend took place. *March 2: The Lakers matched their previous season win total (42) with an overtime win against the Dallas Mavericks. *April 11: The Lakers clinched the Pacific Division title with a win over the New Orleans Hornets. *April 15: The Lakers clinched the Western Conference title and concluded the regular season with a game against the Sacramento Kings. *April 20: The Lakers played their first playoff game of the season. *June 17: The Lakers played their final game of the playoffs against the Boston Celtics. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2007–08 Los Angeles Lakers season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
