1983–84 Los Angeles Lakers season

NBA professional basketball team season March 2026 August 2023 Los Angeles Lakers 1984 yes yes 54 28 Pacific 1 1 Pat Riley Jerry Buss The Forum KHJ AM 570 KLAC NBA Finals(lost to Celtics 3–4) LAL The 1983–84 season for the Los Angeles Lakers saw them lose in the 1984 NBA Finals against Larry Bird's Boston Celtics in seven games. The Lakers were coming off of an NBA Finals loss the previous season to the Julius Erving and Moses Malone-led Philadelphia 76ers, in which they were swept in four games. The Lakers, powered by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (who broke the NBA's all-time total points record) and Magic Johnson with his 13.1 assists per game (tops in '84), ended up winning 54 games in the 1983–84 NBA season. On April 5, 1984, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a 12-foot shot over Mark Eaton of the Utah Jazz to surpass Wilt Chamberlain as the NBA's all-time leading scorer with 31,421 points.Numbelievable! 160 Michael X. Ferraro John Veneziano Triumph Books Chicago 2007 978-1-57243-990-0 In the playoffs, the Lakers defeated the Kansas City Kings in the first round, the Dallas Mavericks in the second, and the Phoenix Suns in the 1984 Western Conference finals in order to advance to the 1984 NBA Finals, against Larry Bird's 62–20 Boston Celtics. The Lakers' 137–104 victory in Game 3 of the Finals caused Bird to label teammates "sissies". The words inspired the Celtics, and shot down the Lakers, with the Celtics winning Game 7 by a score of 111–102.
