Wilkes and his No. 52 jersey will join Wilt Chamberlain (No. 13), Elgin Baylor (22), Gail Goodrich (25), Earvin "Magic" Johnson (32), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (33), James Worthy (42) and Jerry West (44). All seven of those players are also members of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

So much for those vaunted Lakers standards....
Still surprises me that nobody mentions about Game 6 of the 1980 finals. Yeah, Magic had the Finals-MVP stat line of 42-15-7 but Silk had 37 and 10 himself.
always overlooked ... even Magic himself brings it up often.
20 foot layups all day long ... he had that funky delivery because his sister kept blocking his shot.
ROFL
Samaki Walker wore 52
Too late
Retiring his jersey? For what?
For having the ugliest jump shot in history?
Jeez...any laker fan that questioned the Bowen ceremony a few weeks ago should just kill themselves right now.
Bowen helped the Spurs win 3 championships with his defense. You got a problem with defense? That's 75% of their total championships.That ugly jumpshot helped win the Lakers 3 championships
Bowen's jersey retired
It's not like the NBA retired the number.
How the did Jamaal Wilkes get in the Hall of Fame? Might as well put Shawn Marion, Antoine Walker, and Glenn Robinson in too in that case.
I have a problem with retiring a scrub's number. Horry helped us win 3 straight. He won't get his number retired. Why? He's not a HOFer.
Lakers' standards > Spurs (or Boston's) standards.
basically avg'ing 5-6 points per game gets your jersey raised in San Antone ......
lol
brutal
while with the Lakers, damn near 19 points per game minus the 42 game season in 1985 .........
Wilkes > Bowen
Boston retires every number imaginable
so true .....
and IIRC, they retired it after the game.
