All-Time LA Lakers
February 1, 2018
The Lakers have been one of the winningest franchises in NBA history, so I decided to make an all-time list of the Lakers top 5 players at each position. So who made the cut? Here is the Lakers All-Time 5:
PG: Magic Johnson
Called by some LeBron before LeBron, Magic was one of the most electrifying players to ever play the position. He led the “Showtime” Lakers to 5 championships.
SG: Jerry West
Mr. Clutch. One of the better shooters the NBA has seen, west was the face of the league for years. As a result of his stellar career he was made the NBA logo.
SF: Kobe Bryant
Baby Jordan. The closest thing that we have had to Jordan since his retirement has been Kobe. He won 5 rings with the Lakers and is the leading scorer in franchise history.
PF: Shaquille O’Neal
Shaq. The Big Diesel. Superman. Literally larger than life, Shaq was a dominant force when he played in Hollywood, winning 3 championships with Kobe and co.
C: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The NBA’s gentle giant was also one of its most potent scorers. Using his patented skyhook alongside Magic Johnson, won 5 championships with LA.
The Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant.
