This is how they played when they were on the Lakers, right?

yea i would have kareem for my all-time team not chamberlin,i still think of wilt the slit as the most dominant center of all time but i put kareem on my all-time lakers center
C-Kareem Abdul JabbarPF-Clyde LovelletteSF-Elgin BaylorSG-Kobe BryantPG-Magic JohnsonCoach: Phil Jackson6th Man:Kareem Abdul Jabbar7th Man:Jerry West8th Man:George Mikan9th Man:James Worthy10th Man:Wilt Chamberlain11th Man:Gail Goodrich12th Man:Jamaal WilkesI cant believe all of you forgot Mikan. He was the first great player in the NBA, and averaged 23 and 13 in 7 seasons with the Lakers. He also led them to 3 NBA championships. Isn't that worth something?And Lakersfan, Bob McAdoo didnt even do very well with the Lakers. He played there in the end of career and averaged like 12 or 13 ppg in 4 seasons there. And Lakaboy, AC Green never scored more then 13 ppg. He doesnt deserve to be on your bench over Clyde Lovellette, who had one amazing season with 21 ppg and 14 rpg.

Anyone without Shaq on their list is stupid. Shaq in his prime was the most unstoppable force the NBA has ever seen. I'm not sure how many yall saw the Shaq in 1999-2000 since theres a lot of really young people on this board, but that Shaq was just unstoppable. Led the Lakers to a threepeat earning Finals MVP honors every time. The only ones without Shaq on their list are Kobe homers who want to have his babies.C ShaqF Vern Mikkelson F Elgin BaylorG The LogoG Magic JohnsonThe Logo was with LA for 14 seasons and sveraged 27.0 PPG for them. Hes got a Finals MVP as well. Kobes been with LA for 10 seasons and averaged 23.9 PPG for the Lakers.
I can understand how you have Jerry over Kobe. Jerry is probably the most overlooked player ever. Also he averaged like 6 rpg and 7 apg. Something like that. Those are fantastic numbers for Jerry West.

First off, kobe as a starter is averaging 27ppg, it's not his fault del harris did not start him. Secondly, kobe bryant has broken every franchise record possible. Thirdly, jerry west is not as talented as kobe was. And it wasn't as if kobe couldn't have had atleast one finals mvp, the gameplan in the finals was for shaq to dominate the inside.So please, say something useful or go back to talking about how great shaq and wade are.And one more thing, For some reason, i think you went for the lakers when shaq was here and then bandwagoned when he went to the heat.

He let Eddie Jones get his spot. Jerry West is definetly not as talented as Kobe was. Talent isn't everything though. right now in the NBA Tracy McGrady is the most talented player in the league. That doesn't make him the best though. Jerry West knew the fundamentals which made him better than the rest. Tim Duncan style. In the Finals Shaq was the best player every year on the Lakers. Shaq downright seserved every one of his Finals MVP. The numbers he put up in the Finals were just insane. If I remember correctly he got something like 37 PPG and 15 RPG in one of them, I think on DPOY Dikember Mutombo.Miami Heat = NBA ChampionsActually your right in a way. My teams were the Sixers, Lakers, and Heat. Sixers the local team. Lakers I loved because of Shaq, but I refuse to like them until they get rid of that ballhog manning down the two guard slot. I was a Heat fan in 03 when they signed Odom and got Wade. They alrdy had Eddie Jones who was one of my favorites at the time so those two moves really made me like them. Eventually fell in love with that squad. When I heard Shaq got traded to Miami I nearly shat myself.
