Top 50 Lakers of All Time?

This season marks the 50th anniversary of the Lakers moving from Minneapolis to Los Angeles before the start of the 1960-61 campaign. This year marks the 50th year with 45 playoff appearances, 24 trips to the NBA Finals and 10 rings ESPN made this list. At this point I don't disagree at all. Happy Anniversary Lakers!!.

Fox over McAdoo? Van Exel over McAdoo?
You get it, _____ over McAdoo?

Luke Walton at #40...

Ariza had one very good season, and he's above Kurt Rambis...

I disagree with list's parts

Top 5 is what i disagree most.Please,Kobe over Shaq at LA?I don't agree with that

In that list i would give Shaq #3 spot,#4 Kobe and #5 West.

How\s Odom better then McAdoo?

I also think that Pau Gasol could be a spot ahead of his current situation

Ron Artest hasn't even played a full season with the Lakers; that doesn't really make much sense to me.


Oh ESPN...

Uhh....it would help if I knew 30 of the players...

So wait.

Luke Walton, Ron Artest, and Ariza make the list?
Okay, Ariza makes a LITTLE sense.
But why is he so high?
Odom should probably be lower.

I dont know. I kinda think that West and Kobe should switch spots, but thats debatable.


24, 25, and 26 should all move up a few spots lol.


who the hell are Rudy LaRusso and Happy Hairston?

Fisher at #11 :SMH:

I like the top 5.
That's all that matters to me.

Agreed.

Wasn't Ariza only on the Lakers for a year or two? And he's 29?

LUKE WALTON!??!

I'm going to leave now.

i dunno half the name's on this list....

who the hell is jerry west?!?!?


j/k

Well thats stuuupid. So nyeah.

they should make a Top 50 Thunder players of All-Time.

Dwayne,there isn't over 20 players in the history of the Thunder

No...this list sucks a lot of balls...

wow...whoever made that list needs to be fired...

I didn't expect that from you ys

why not?

Kurt Rambis should be higher than Nick Van Exel.

Why are Luke Walton and Ron Artest on the list? If Artest is on the list Smush Parker should be.

Artest is already better than Smush ever was....

Yeah, but Artest hasn't even played half a season in LA.

The Lakers have a rich enough history to where he shouldn't have to fill a spot.
How about Karl Malone? he actually played a whole season in LA.

Top 10 Celtic's or LAkers? which is the best?

GEORGE MIKAN!!!!!!!

How the hell you forget about one of the greatest Centers to play the game?

He played for Minny, not LA.

I agree with the Rambis and Walton bits. I'd like to add in that having Artest in at No. 50 after playing less than half a season is batshit insane.

But about Mikan, that was my first thought; when I read the article on ESPN though, it's LA Lakers of all time, so all the Minneapolis players (including Mikan) are left out.

WTH? Eddie Jones is only 22? Jamaal Wilkes should be top 10. How do you not know either of those guys, Abdi?

Anybody who says Shaq should be ahead of Kobe is a complete loon.
