2007–08 Los Angeles Lakers season The 2007–08 Los Angeles Lakers season was the 60th season of the franchise, 59th in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 48th in Los Angeles. During the offseason, the Lakers re-signed point guard Derek Fisher. The Lakers 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.

Coming off a winning record in a strike shortened season was much expected of the Kings, who got off to a fast start winning nine of their first ten games. However, they lost seven of their final eight games, finishing fifth in the Pacific Division with a 44–38 record. Superstar forward Chris Webber led the way with 24.5 points, 10.5 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, and was selected for the 2000 NBA All-Star Game.
