Best Lakers Player Of All Time?

Kobe.

Kareem

I can't answer this objectively. Kobe's my favorite all time player.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Greatest big man of all time.

Magic. Kobe is close in 2nd.

Kobe. Also LeBron should be on the list at least.

@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

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

...Stop it lol.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar

Definitely Tom Brady with tiger woods a close second.

I wz thinking Magic Johnson but I haven't payed attention to b ball for a good 20 years

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.

For me it comes down to Kareem or Magic. Leaning towards Magic

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

James Worthy was great, but nobody thinks he’s on Kobe’s or Kareem’s level.

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.

Magic

Kobe.

Fun Fact: my high school played Kobe Bryant numerous times in high school which is kinda cool.

No respect for Shaq? He's the most dominant big man I've ever seen.

Jabbar

Kobe.

@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.

Where is shaq???? LOL

OT: Magic

Magic or Kareem.

Kareem for sure.

@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.

Not LeBron.

5. ShaQ

4. Kobe

3. Magic

2. LeBron

1. Kareem

Kareem established the greatness of the Lakers, he is the Greatest to wear their uniform.

Kobe hands down

Jerry West, as probably the greatest clutch player of all time. But, many of the greatest NBA players played for the Lakers, to include Wilt Chamberlain who is certainly the greatest 76er. Kobe, Magic, Kareem, Shaq, etc, probably can all be lumped as a huge mass of seconds.

Its Kareem (easily). But my heart still says Kobe.

Kareem no doubt

Kobe
