Kobe: The 5th Best Laker of All Time (article)

• lhslep134

  

  I don't want this turning into a hating Kobe thread, but I thought this was an extremely interesting read, and maybe, just maybe we can have an educated discussion on the article?

  although the only players on the list are Kobe, Magic, and Jerry West; I would arguably say that both Kareem and Wilt should be discussed along with Kobe if what we are discussing is greatest all-time Laker players by their impact on the game. And, probably George Mikan.

  West is #1 in my book.
  
  His on the court accomplishments are amazing, plus he built the 3peat team.
