10 largest lachers in franchise history, ranked

The Los Angeles Lakers The most often observed franchises in the history of the NBA, achieving success at the highest level in almost every decade of its existence. Lakers won 17 championships (five as minneapolis lejkers) and have 31 players in a cot on the scoring basketball celebration. Thirteen Lakehers had their number in retirement organizations.

Of course, with all those great players, we must rank them.

So, here are top players in the history of Lakers Franchise. Keep in mind, this is not the list of the largest NBA players who will play for Lakers, but an assessment of how each player contributed to the franchise during his time in purple and gold. For example, Karl Malone is largely considered a top player in NBA history, but his Eqst in Los corners would forget.

We will skip the honorable mention because it’s too much but I’ll make you on Lakers List Reference the hall instead.

Again, if they were the largest NBA players who have shame with LeBron James would be no. 1 on the list but not. However, Cessation of delay in LeBron It was great with the Lakeholders.

In Seven Seasons in Los Angeles, LeBron is 7K All-Star with six All-NBA selections (and seventh probably after the current season). He led the League in the assists of 2020. While it was led by stickers. He called the NBA 2020 MVP. Year and brought 17. Leikers Championship to bind Boston Celtics for most NBA history (at the time).

In its mandate as a laker, LeBron amounted to 26.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.1 helps at 51% shoot. It was consistently a top player in the NBA, although it was good past his example.

Championship 2020. There were first beds since 2010. years, and LeBron Arrival in LA re-established a franchise relevance after a very dark postKobe Briant Seasons.

9. George Mika

George Mikan would be larger in this list if it is not for an era where he played and the fact that he spent his career with Minneapolis Lakers before the team moved to Los Angeles.

When you think about Lakers, you mean Los Angeles. Although Mikan contributed to five franchises 17 claimed the NBA headlines, his influence on the organization simply does not feel the same as the others in this list.

Mikanovo The first championship was technically an association of basketball association (BAA) championship before the League absorbed the national basketball league (NBL) and the whole thing became NBA in 1949.

Anyway, Mikan played seven seasons of Baa / NBA basketball, but was 4k all the stars (1953 ASG MVP) and 3k points champion. He was lasting 23 points and 13 rebounds for his career.

8. Elgin Bailor

Lakers Minneapolis chose Elgin Bailor with the first total choice in the draft NBA from 1958. year, and he won the NBA Rookie Year award. Bailor is to play 14 season for playing in the team, making 11 of its stars and won the All-Star Game MVP in 1959. Years.

He singled out 10 All-NBA first team selection and brought it to the NBA final eight times, but he never captured that elusive NBA championship. He was part of Team Lakers who won the NBA finals from 1972. years, but retired in season, so it was not actually on the list when the team all won all that.

Lakers rewarded Baylora with the Championship Ring, but he is the only Laker on this list that it doesn’t really win the title.

Bailor was a revolutionary player, demonstrating explosiveness and a vertical style of the game from a small advanced position that has previously seen in basketball. He inspired Likes of Julius Erding and Michael Jordan after him.

7. Vilt Chamberlain

Vilt Chamberlain’s Lakers ‘Stint was a bit comparable to the Lebron James’. He played five seasons in Los Angeles in twilight his career and won one NBA Championship 1972. However, three more final phenomena performed next to Jerry Vest, which gives him the edge over the lebron.

In those five seasons, Chamberlain was 4K All-Star and 1K All-NBA choice. He became his only two-defensive teams with Lakers and led the league in the jump four times.

As a Laker, Chamberlain is on average 18 points and 19 rebounds, and he helped the West finally cross the mountain and win his only championship.

6. James Vortini

James Wortini was a critical part From the Lejker showtime 80s and probably unfairly overlooked. He was the first total election in the 1982 draft. Year and in his 12-year career, seven performances of all stars achieved.

When most people think of bakeries from scissors, it’s all magic and kareem, but it’s also worthy, too, for the success of Lakers in the 80s, especially while Kareem became older.

He won three championships with Lakers and won the NBA Final Award in 1988. years. On the title of Lakers, he worked in 1987. and 1988. year, he led the entire team in post-season points.

It was worth ranking six in franchise history in points and third in thefts, but a large game James will always be remembered on their clutch performances. It was worth playing in four 7-career matches and appeared in all of them. Through those four pleasing praise and all the auditions, on average, on average, on average in the amount of 7 years.

During Shaka Stint with Lakers, he became the most dominant individual force that sport has ever seen. There will never be another prime shak.

Shak spent eight seasons with Lakers and won three NBA championships with Koba Briant. Since then, no team pulled the elusive three tresets. He won the NBA Finals MVP award for all three titles, and also won the 2000 NBA MVP and the name of scoring at the amount of dominance of Lakers.

He and Kobe were unstoppable Duo, and Shak was a better player. If the weather in Los Angeles lasted longer, it could be the biggest dynasty in the history of sports history, and Shak could easily land larger in this list.

He made eight all-nba teams and three ombradine teams as a laker and firms as one of his great NBA shines at the time.

4. Jerry West

Jerry West is the most important A person in the history of Los Angeles Lake. He has won only one championship as a player in 1972. years, but he was the architect of the Show / Koba’s Show / Kobe Dynasty.

After retirement, the West won six more championships with Lakers as an executive authority. He was the one who traded for Kobe Briant on the draft night and signed Shaq in a free agency.

As a player, however, the West performed in his 14 seasons in his 14 seasons and 12 NBA teams. He became the only player who won the NBA Finals MVP award as a member of the losing team for his performance against Kelter in the final in 1969. years. Years.

He was overlined by almost 38 points per game in that series, but Lakers lost in 7 games. The West had great luck in the final because he arrived there nine times and only once won.

The west is in his career in his career in his career, and at the same time, one of only seven players in the history of the NBA to lead the League in scoring and helps (not in the same season) in his career.

3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spent 14 years her career with Lakers and captured five from the sixth of the NBA Championships in Purple and Gold. He was elected 13 All-Star Games, 10 All-NBA teams and seven of all defensive teams. He won three his record six NBA MVP prizes as Laker.

Kareem was the basis of scheduled from Shoumer, who come to Los Angeles with a ring that won Millwaukee Bucks, three MVP rewards and the title of the best player of the league.

It was not while drafts drafts Magic JohnsonHowever, that they became an elite force that would be claimed for the championship.

Kareem is among the shortest NBA players of its time, and the trophy case is anyone. He became an American shooter of the NBA as Laker in 1984. years. That record stood 39 years until LeBron James violated him in February.

Kareem is without a doubt in the first three lachers, and you could become a strong argument to set it to start. However, Magic / Kareem magical dynasty, Magic Johnson a little curry edge.

2 Magic Johnson

Earvin “Magic” Johnson is the most iconic Player in Lakerss history. His legendary rivalry with Larry Bird and Boston Celtics revived the NBA and lay the foundations for the league to become what is today. The magic became synonymous with the city of Los Angeles and redefined individual superstar in American sports.

The reason it makes it above Kaarem on this list is that Magic is the best player in Lakers and the best player in the NBA for most dynasty. He is a larger name Duo Showtime. It was a magic against the bird, not Kareem vs. A bird, not even bumps against Celtic.

Los Angeles won the championship in the magical Rookie season, the first of five that this amazing duo would win. Kareem stretched his ankle in the game of 5 finals from 1980. years against Philadelphia 76ers, and a 6-foot guard and 9-Pejcica played in playing center in the game 6.

The magic fell 42 points, 15 rebokes and 7 helps to bring the home championship and win the NBA Final MVP award. He is still the only Rookie to ever earn a reward.

The magic is widely considered the greatest stranger guard and ever, and he spent the whole of the 13-year career. It was a 5K champion, 3K Finals MVP, 3K League MVP, 12K All-Star, 2K ASG MVP, 4K NBA helps leaders 2K steals leaders and 10K All-NBA players.

He has another-most career helps in the history of the NBA and the most in the history of the franchise. Whether the magical career lasted longer, his standing in the books would be much more impressive.

1. Kobe Briant

Finally, the largest Laker Los Angeles is not nobody else than the late Kobe Briana. Kobe’s resume is funny: 20 seasons, 18 All-NBA teams, 12 all-defensive teams, MVP awards, two titles in 2008. years, four pigeons MVPS and the fourth-majority points in the NBA history. All that with Lakeholders.

Kobe also coarsely as a book for record books in games, minutes, points, performed field goals, were made three pointers and steals. Kobe was the ultimate competitor and dominated the game in all aspects.

Most importantly, however, Kobe added five championship banners to Stanples Center in Los Angeles. He won three plays together with Shack in the early stages of his career. After Shak left the team, Kobe became a scoring machine. Since 2004-2008. He was over 31 point per game, but the team did not win.

Finally, Kobe returned it to the top in 2009. years, winning his fourth championship and the first prize for MVP. The Lakeshers repeated next year, beating Carriers in 7 games, died Kobe among all weather shines.

Due to the unstable construction of the Roster and the injury, Kobe and Lakers followed in the years to follow by 2016. years, when Kobe only refer only 35% of the floor in his final NBA season. Still, he went out to the top, dropped 60 points in my last NBA game, the perfect field for one of the best plays.

Kobe was the biggest Laker ever and the biggest competitor that was ever seen, but above all, Kobe was the winner. Basketball was a socket for his size, but it would be great at what he chose as his passion.
