I agree with this list. I was a Lakers fans growing up in the 80s. I'm not a Kobe fan, but he's clearly above West.
Interesting link....top four players in History from each team named...here's the list for the Lakers....check the list for your teams...
L.A. Lakers
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – The No. 1 scorer in history boasted the game’s greatest weapon, the Skyhook.
Magic Johnson – As soon as the effervescent 6-9 point guard arrived in Hollywood, he changed the NBA landscape, leading the Lakers to nine Finals appearances in 12 seasons and five les.
Kobe Bryant – For old-timers, Jerry West probably makes this list, but even “The Logo’’ admits that Bryant is one of the top Lakers ever.
Shaquille O’Neal – Wilt Chamberlain won his one le in L.A. in his next-to-last season, but Shaq won three les and was a three-time Finals MVP as a Laker.
Who Didn’t Make it – Four Top 50 Players: Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and James Worthy.

Kobe should make the Pelicans list too..since yall originally drafted him
good luck in the lottery kool
Kareem Magic Wilt Shaq
I hate these in' lists.
I ain't callin' pussy & asshole because Kool is my man in LA, but, if it were anybody else I'd call it.
Your religion consists of caveats, hence, non-religion.
Where's s lately?
You are an enigma my friend,,,a pussy wrapped in an asshole if you don't call him out. He hates the degenerate horse gambler and wants him out,,,you say without him you are light 2,,,but you keep your mouth shut. He makes lists like these that you despise,,,you exhale aggressively but,,,keep your mouth shut. I put you at the pinnacle of laker fan here,,,,was I wrong?
Hey inyourassarena....I didnt make the list...I reported on the list....big difference dip
why not shift kareem to the 3?
sure no spacing on offense, but who needs spacing if u can play score automatic in the low post or work baseline/midrange to get closer for the sky hook?
on defense just play a zone....
So you're a follower,,,not a leader,,,,I get that. That's why Thread carries you on this site,,,Hey inyourassarena....I didnt make the list...I reported on the list....big difference dip
I had him on the carpet less than month ago over a fake thread. I blistered his black ass until he about hit Dale.
If I chewed SF ass everytime you had it comin'---we'd never have peace. One must discriminate, Hemi.
T,,,my takes are the worst,,,I would grab a ladder,,,climb up and hammer my own wrists to the cross and hang there for all to crucify if I could,,,I am that bad,,,no argument there.
I got no problems with the list tbqh...
Not true..what happens when most Laker fans take a leave of absence? ...Kool becomes an even worser nightmare for Spur fan...a one man wrecking ball.....I'm a self starter Im gonna wreck asses with or without help....
Magic, west, Kobe, Kareem.
Kareem got knocked down to four because he didn't even spend his prime with the lakers.
West gets a boost up for his GM work. That guy is a genius and we will never see another one like him in the front office.
Wilt spent most of his prime with the Warriors and 6ers, Baylor was great but not as great as Kobe, shaqs tenure was too short.
Jerry West would have wiped the floor with Kobe, tbh.
Mourning and Hardaway over Bosh for the Heat? I don't think so.
KJ not making the Suns top four? Dude's a terrible mayor; but he is definitely a top four Sun.
Ahhh..hahahahahahahaha
Ginobili over the Iceman and Parker tbh.
Kobe would have wiped the floor with this unatheletic, slow dude by comparison....hahahahahahaha....love Jerry though...but he couldnt do .25th of what Kobe could do....there goes that number 25 again
Wilt? he was past his prime by all accounts when he was in L.A ... if you have to pick 4 it's amongst Magic, West, Kobe, Baylor, Kobe, Kareem and Shaq. The first 4 spent their entire careers as Lakers. If forced to choose:
1. Magic
2. West (Player and GM if only player then he drops out of top 4)
3. Kobe
4. Kareem
Shaq and Baylor are #5 and #6 imho ...
Great post solid reasoning.
