The Lakers were founded in Detroit as the Gems. After a miserable first season, the team relocated to Minnesota and became the Lakers. In 1960, the Lakers moved to Los Angeles. Over the years, Shaq and other basketball players have graced the franchise.

Get the Lakers mug.A basketball fan who is specifically a supporter of the NBA team the Los Angeles Lakers, and wears their jersey at any game outside of Los Angeles of a rival team who are facing the Lakers that night, but do not know any of the current members of the team.
An off-breed of the Sports Asshole (who only shows up to games to boo the home team for fun), Lakers Historians are identified by wearing the jersey of a player who used to play for the franchise but no longer does. (i.e. Kobe Bryant, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar ) These specific markings (or names and numbers) are a sign that they're fans of what the team used to be in their glory days and don't keep up with who is on the team now while they're terrible. Hence, why they're not identified as a regular "Lakers Fan".
They're also not to be confused as an actual Basketball Historian, who cares about the history of the game as a whole, and not what one team did in three specific time periods.
