Not really the greatest moments in Lakers history, but I remember the start of the 03-04 PREseason and I got the biggest chills ever seeing our great 4 hall of famers lineup.
How about Magic's first game back out of retirement? I think he nearly had a triple-double. That was fun.

Cedric Ceballos (sp?) Loved his game, and his charisma. EDIT: Bah! I didn't read the title correctly. I thought this was a favorite player thread!
How about Kobe in transition with Garnett chasing him from the side and Kobe wraps it around his back, fakes out Garnett to the other side and lays it in with his left hand. I hate to keep saying Kobe, but one move that's been stuck on my head ever since I saw it was this one: Kobe is posting up someone from the Bulls. He does a dreamshake fake and fakes the fadeaway and the defender leaps into the air. Kobe calmly goes under the airborne defender, looks back, and knocks in an easy jumper. It looks so well orchestrated if you see it. Best thing was him looking back at the defender then knocking it in, I love that play.
Does anyone remember Kobe and the Lakers vs. the Utah Jazz...not the halfcourt buzzer beater in the 3rd but the one where he was being double-teamed. It looked like Kirilenko and Harpring, I don't know...but they both followed him to the baseline after a nice crossover, and then he got both of them in the air with a fake, and then did a 180 to turn his back away from the basket and hit a fadeaway jumper with 5 seconds left...realllly nice. Magic Johnson's fakes were always great
