There is uncited text in the article, including entire paragraphs. The "Rivalries" section is under developed, with many short, uncited sections. Should this be expanded upon or removed? The "1979–1991: "Showtime"", "1996–2004: O'Neal and Bryant dynasty", "2011–2016: Post-Jackson era" and "2019–present: James and Davis era" sections are quite long and give undue weight to these sections of the team's history. Can any of this information be summarised or removed from the article, or should additional headings be used? The article is quite long at 11,500 words; this much detail in the article does not make it concise. I think a subject matter expert should trim unnecessary information, while spinning out some prose into new articles. Z1720 (talk) 03:10, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The "History" section claims that History of the Los Angeles Lakers in the main article, so such detail should ideally not be here per WP:SUMMARY style. —Bagumba (talk) 08:11, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
