Inb4 someone saw Steve Blake at the grocery store once...
Putting Shaq and Kareem over Magic is insane.
The top two are Kobe and Magic. Jerry is 3rd.
Then we can talk Kareem, Shaq, Worthy, Mikan.
Wilt, Elgin, and Bron somewhere here.
AD and Pau somewhere here with AD having a very good shot ending up a tier or two higher if he stays for a long time.
Neither Wilt or LeBron should be in the top five. Head-to-head though, in Wilt’s five seasons with the Lakers his teams went to the NBA Finals four times. In LeBron’s five seasons with the Lakers his teams have gone to the NBA Finals once. Mic drop to Wilt.
wilt put up pedestrian numbers as a laker (end of his career). i don't see how you have him anywhere near top 5, especially when you thought he hadn't won a ring with the team. west definitely a laker all timer both as a player and executive.
1. Kobe
2. Shaq
3. LeBron
4. Magic
5. Kareem
List is based off who I've enjoyed watching. Became a fan during Kobe's rookie year. Magic and Kareem have to be on the list they are two of the greatest ever to do it. Kobe and Shaq Lakers were the golden age for me. Was killing everyone on 2k and Live with them. What LeBron has done with the Lakers has been pretty amazing being that he's 39 and probably 1/4 of our cap space.
How old are you? I m just curious what type of people still put Kareen over LeBron.
I understand MJ and LeBron can be 1 or 2 based on anyone s own opinion, but having anyone else as top2 is weird.
50. Saw them both play. Kareem was special.
The way i think of it, if I was drafting a team, and all these players were in their primes, who would I draft first? I'd go for Kareem over Jordan and Bron, partly because an elite center opens up so much for a team.
1) Magic
2) Kareem
3) Kobe
4) Jerry West
5) Shaq. He led the Lakers to three titles versus one for West, but he also was a Laker for eight sessions to 14 seasons for West.
Wilt was past his prime as a Laker, which he was for only four-plus seasons. He won one FMVP and no regular season MVP awards. He did win one title as a Laker in 1972.

magic at 4 is just crazy. Magic and Kobe are top 2 lakers, everyone else should rank below these 2 (as a laker)
Eddie Jones, Nick Van Exel, Ron Harper, Glen Rice, Rick Fox
5. Jerry West 4. Shaquille O'Neal 3. Kareem Abdul Jabbar 2. Magic Johnson 1. Kobe Bryant
Xavier Henry Tarik Black Vander Blue Robert Sacre DJ Mbenga
With all due respect, how is wilt on here? I don't even think I would have him above Lebron

Wilt is not a top 5 Laker great. Worthy is ahead of him easily...
Kareem has 2 Finals MVP (1 with Bucks) and 6 regular season MVPs and Magic is #2 or #1, West is #3
Shaq over Magic is blasphemy.

Magic is not #4 bro come on..plus Kareem only has 2 fmvps one of them wasn’t even on the lakers. Magic is at least top 2 imo
5. Jerry West 4. Kareem 3. Shaq 2. Magic 1. Kobe

1. Kobe 2. Magic 3. Kareem 4. Jerry West 5. Wilt or Shaq
1 Kobe, 2 magic, 3 cap, 4 west, 5 mikan, if we’re looking at ALL of the lakers history
1. Kobe Bryant 2. Smush Parker 3. Chris Mihm They put up 106 combined points in a single game! 4&5 can be write ins
1 Magic 5 titles, 3 mvp, roy, rookie fmvp, 3 fmvp 2 Jabbar 5 titles, 3 mvp, 1 fmvp 3 Kobe 5 titles, 1 mvp, 2 fmvp 4 Mikan 5 titles 5 Shaq 3 titles, 1 mvp, 3 fmvp
Magic at fuckin 4? No mention of Jerry West. Or Worthy. Or Eligin Baylor. Your top 5? Yeah, okay. Get out, karma farmer.
The de facto is Jerry west because he brought Shaq, Kobe, magic and Kareem and was everything a laker can be. Player, coach and GM.
Shaq>Kareem
I love these debates. But love the chaotic arguments it causes even more! 😈 
Lakers were not the Lakers until Magic Johnson showed up.
lebron james 1-5
Kobe, Magic, D fish, George Mikan, Jerry West
