Back to Prairie and Manchester

The Lakers called the Forum home between 1967 and 1999. They're headed back there Friday night to play the Golden State Warriors in an exhibition. Kobe Bryant and Derek Fisher are the only players on the current roster to have played in the building. Lakers coach Phil Jackson won championships there as a player with the New York Knicks in the 1970s and as Michael Jordan's coach with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s. Assistants Jim Cleamons and Brian Shaw also played in the Forum. Shaw played there in the old PCAA (now Big West) Tournament while at UC Santa Barbara.
