Los Angeles Lakers
8 roto titles · 75 seasons (1951-52–2025-26) · MNL → LAL
Few franchises can match the Los Angeles Lakers for roto silverware, with eight titles in 75 seasons. Five of them arrived between 1965-66 and 1989-90, and then the franchise waited 18 seasons for the next one, so this is really two separate eras rather than one long run. Their average finish is 8.3 all time, against 17.3 over the last ten seasons, a steep fall from the franchise norm.
The best single roto season in franchise history belongs to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1975-76, worth a 20.5 z-score. He owns 9 of the franchise’s 50 best seasons outright. Read the All-Franchise Team below knowing its slots are strict: Lamar Odom, Vern Mikkelsen and Vlade Divac all out-rate somebody who made it, and missed only because their position ran out of room.
