What do u think?
What do u think?
@jayc1324: Maybe in a few years but I don’t think he has done anything as a laker yet. At least anything noteworthy.
Magic Johnson... kids these days....
What? You don't think he belongs in the list?
@rukelnikovftw: lmao! Good joke man
@rukelnikovftw: lmao! Good joke man
I still don't get if you think he's the best or he doesn't belong :S I voted him btw
@rukelnikovftw: I voted him as best. And Kobe is my favorite player.

Oh ok, sorry for the confusion :P
@rukelnikovftw: no apology needed. No harm, no foul
Kobe. Also LeBron should be on the list at least.
...Stop it lol.
I will say Kobe Bryant is the Best Lakers Player of All Time. Magic Johnson is a Close Second Best.
I think the Main Reason I pick Kobe over Magic is Overall Skill Set. Kobe being the Better Offensive Player in Terms of Scoring against Magic's Playmaking Skills. Also Kobe's Defense is Superior to Magic as well. Magic is a Better Leader than Kobe IMO, but Magic also had Kareem and Worthy to work with during his Prime Years when he was winning Titles. Kobe was Second Fiddle to Shaq at least for the First Two Championships, but he was a Strong Second Fiddle and then the 3rd of Three Peat, Kobe and Shaq basically was at the Same Levels Of Dominance. Then you have the Fact that Kobe won 2 Championship as the Main Guy on the Lakers in 2009 and 2010. Magic had either Kareem, Worthy or Both during all of his Championship runs.
I'm surprised no one voted for Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and James Worthy here. Jerry West is the NBA logo.
@batmanplusjay: might as well add Wayne Gretzky. Lol
Magic Johnson. Best Point Guard ever. 5 Titles. 3 time League MVP, 3 time Finals MVP.
He just slightly edges out Kobe (and I love Kobe). 2nd best Shooting Guard ever. 5 Titles. 1 time League MVP. 2 time Finals MVP.
@lan_fan: I think the problem with Shaq is he's had good to great seasons with other teams (Magic, Heat) and not enough with LA to be considered the greatest Laker ever. You have guys like Magic and Kobe who spent their entire careers with Lakers, winning five titles and was a member of the team far longer than Shaq was. If we're talking about peak years? Sure a case can be made but overall? Not really seeing it.
He should undoubtedly be on the poll over Worthy though.
@xmangog__beastx: The reason why I didn't put Shaq in here because he didn't spent all his time playing with the Lakers. Only for a limited time unlike guys like Jerry West, Magic Johnson and Kobe Bryant who spent their entire career playing with the Lakers.
