In 2010, the Los Angeles Lakers became the first NBA franchise to reach 3,000 regular-season wins.
The milestone came on 13 January 2010, when Los Angeles defeated the Dallas Mavericks 100–95. The victory made the Lakers the first franchise in NBA history to reach 3,000 wins in the regular season, reflecting the organization’s success across its Minneapolis and Los Angeles eras.
The Lakers began in 1947 as the Detroit Gems of the National Basketball League and moved to Minneapolis after being purchased by Ben Berger. The team relocated to Los Angeles in 1960. Across those eras, stars such as George Mikan, Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal, and Kobe Bryant helped build the franchise’s extraordinary win total.
The question refers to regular-season victories, not playoff wins or championships. Those are separate statistics. The Lakers’ 3,000th regular-season win arrived during the 2009–10 season, when Kobe Bryant was the team’s leading star and Phil Jackson was head coach.
