All-Time LA Lakers

Omar Bah

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.Image result for kobe bryant fading

The Black Mamba, Kobe Bryant.
