The Los Angeles Lakers are working with the Los Angeles Dodgers in an effort to study and potentially model aspects of the NBA franchise’s practices and organizational structure after the MLB club’s recent championship success.
The Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champions, and the Lakers’ collaboration with the organization is focused on learning how the baseball team operates at a championship level — from day-to-day practices to broader structural approaches.
Learning From a Proven Model
The Lakers’ initiative centers on examining what has helped the Dodgers sustain top-end performance and translate it into titles. The goal is to understand the processes and standards behind the Dodgers’ success and apply relevant lessons to the Lakers’ own operation.
The effort reflects a cross-organization approach within Los Angeles sports, with the Lakers looking to draw insight from a nearby franchise that has recently set the benchmark in its league.
