2024 was a year of triumph for Los Angeles in the sports world, with record-breaking achievements and iconic moments.
The 2024 sports calendar brought us moments of heartbreak, like when the Boston Celtics surpassed the Los Angeles Lakers . Whether it was record-breaking achievements or moments we've never seen before in sports, and may never see again, 2024 solidified Los Angeles as a sports powerhouse. In September, the Los Angeles Lakers hired former NBA shooting guard J.J. Redick as their 29th head coach in franchise history.
After starting a podcast with superstar LeBron James a year earlier, Redick was seen as a perfect fit for the Lakers in their next chapter. He was introduced by the team on September 25, 2024 at the team's practice facility in El Segundo, California.

Harbaugh made an immediate impact on the Chargers in 2024, after a 5-12 record the year before. Harbaugh led the Chargers back to the playoffs in his first season back on the sidelines.

In his first full season in the NFL, he finished with 105 receptions, 1,486 yards, and six touchdowns. He broke the all-time NFL receptions and receiving yards records for a rookie and was named to the 2024 All-Rookie Team
