It’s basketball season and I can’t let it go by without commenting on my favorite team. I’ve been a Los Angeles Lakers fan since the late 1960s. So here is my list of the greatest Lakers players through the decades (in historical order only).
- George Mikan
- Elgin Baylor
- Jerry West
- Gail Goodrich
- Wilt Chamberlain
- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
- Earvin “Magic” Johnson
- James Worthy
- Shaquille O’Neal
- Kobe Bryant
I should also note that hall of fame Lakers announcer Chick Hearn is the one who taught me to love Lakers basketball.
Where’s AC Green on this list?
Or my boy Kurt Rambis?
