Los Angeles Sparks history
One of the WNBA's original teams, the Sparks took the floor for the league's first season in 1997. Lakers owner Jerry Buss ran them as a sister club until 2006. Since 2014, a group called Sparks LA Sports has owned the team, with partners including Magic Johnson, Mark Walter and Todd Boehly. Today the Sparks have no NBA partner even though they share the city with two NBA teams.
No club has made the playoffs more often: twenty times in twenty-eight seasons. Los Angeles reached the Finals in 2001, 2002, 2003, 2016 and 2017, winning in 2001 over Charlotte, in 2002 over New York and in 2016 over Minnesota. Detroit beat them in 2003, and Minnesota got revenge in 2017. Lisa Leslie and Tina Thompson, both from nearby USC, and Candace Parker are among the big names.
