Los Angeles Lakers basketball has been captivating Angelenos for over 40 years. Ever since they moved to the West Coast, fans have been treated to some of the greatest players ever. From Elgin, Wilt, Jerry, Magic, Shaq, and Kobe. We've called the best of the best ours.
Do kids these days now or care who helped NBA basketball get where its at? Probably not, but with a little imagination, you can help them learn about Kareem, Dr. J., Cousy and others. But lets get back to the Lakers. Guidecraft recently introduced a line of kids sized furniture that includes items you need to get your little fan's playroom Lakerized! Painted in Forum Blue and Gold (well at least that's what Jack Kent Cooke called the colors), your Kobe fan will delight in tossing socks in his toy box, watching the game in a kid sized rocking chair, or reaching the sink using a step stool.
Toy Box - Featuring sturdy construction and a basketball lid top for games and seating while watching the games. We like this toy box for its large size, safety hinges, and bright colors.
Rocking Chair - With veneer surfaces and hand-painted basketball finials in Laker colors
Step Stool - With a storage compartment on the top step to hold basketball cards and small toys. Great for helping kids reach the sink or help dad with projects in the garage.
Table and Chair Set - Includes a table with the Laker logo on the top and two chairs with basketball back rests. Seat Height 12" for ages 2 - 6.
Table Lamp - Has a metal basketball rim and rope net on the lamp that gives this kids table lamp special details that will make it an instant classic that's proudly displayed in bedrooms and playrooms.
Directors Chair Has a canvas seat and back with a solid birch frame and clear coat finish, big enough to hold an average size adult.
Our tongue and cheek pick for Laker to most likely use...
Laker most likely to use the toy box: Magic Johnson for a place to put his bag of tricks.
Laker most likely to use the rocking chair: Kareem to rest his weary bones.
Laker most likely to use the step stool: Gail Goodrich to help him dunk.
Laker most likely to use the table and chair set: Pat Riley and Phil Jackson to discuss strategies.
Laker most likely to use the table lamp: Kurt Rambis to help see with those thick glasses.
Laker most likely to use the directors chair: Jerry West for representing his team and league with class, style, and dignity.
To see current and former Lakers in action we found some great videos on You Tube under Laker history. They really bring back memories and pump you up to watch Laker basketball.
