Exactly

That is a terrible basketball team that needs worthy or jerry west

Play Baylor at the four and Kobe at the three with magic and west

Play Baylor at the three and worthy at the four with Kareem

That Bulls team would be terrifying, think how FAST they would be with rose at PG


That Bulls team - Jordan, Pippen, and Grant in their primes would have lost to JUST an older Magic and Worthy in the 1991 finals had Worthy not been injured. Magic effectlively took all three of them to 6 games by himself. So let's put this in a little perspective.

Prime Magic and Prime Worthy = Jordan, Pippen, Grant according to what we've actually seen on the court in real life.

That means you are saying Rose and Rodman TRUMP Kobe, Shaq, and Kareem.

Oh good lord, Shaq threw the "Blazers/Lakers game 7 in 2000" haymaker to close the conversation.

Ouch...that's one I will never forget. I think that was the most bummed I've ever been at the outcome of a sporting event. I wanted SP to get that one ring without MJ so bad.

Would you say Shaq is a top 5 Laker all time. Just yall are stacked at the C position?

Just an FYI, MJ, Pippen and Rodman are 3 of the best defenders of all time. SP might be the best wing defender ever. No team is going to "destroy" that defensive nucleolus.

Shaq is stupid and had he not gone to LSU, this board would pile on him.

Shaq is not a top a top 5 laker of all time but that's for other reasons. If if we purely went on where he fits in basketball history, then he would be

I dunno going by numbers he would be...

#3 offensive rebounds
#4 defensive rebounds
#2 blocks
#7 points
#2 field goal percentage
#5 minutes played per game
#2 points per game
#5 rebounds per game
#2 blocks per game
#1 PER
#8 true shooting percentage
#2 effective field goal percentage
#2 defensive rebound percentage
#5 total rebound percentage
#3 block percentage
#6 offensive wins shares
#5 defensive rating
#10 offensive rating
#2 usage percentage
#6 offensive win shares
#8 defensive win shares
#7 total win shares
#2 win shares per 48 minutes
#4 value over replacement player


I can see the argument because older players usually get more perception value based on how important they were to the game but still he has an argument.

Like I said, for other reasons outside of the game of baskebtall. But if we were going by pure numbers, he would. One of the major things against him is that he spent more time out of LA than he did in it.

that is about perception and has not real evidence of him not being a top 5.... I mean in 8 years he climbed into a lot of Lakers top categories.

Magic 13 years with Lakers
Kareem 14 years with Lakers
Rambis 9 years with Lakers (so we should exclude him because less than 10?)
west 14 years with Lakers
Mikan 5 years with Lakers (so we should exclude him because less than 10?)
Baylor 14 years with the Lakers
Kobe 19 years with the Lakers

Shaquille did his damage in 8 years and still ranks among one of the best Lakers of all time
