Since their inception, the Sparks have been a focal point of the league. Despite this, they had little early success and went through several coaches. After the team signed former Los Angeles Lakers star Michael Cooper as head coach and made some key roster changes, the team made a quick turnaround. Since then, they have been one of the most consistently successful teams in the WNBA.
