ha ha ha... only 2 years as a starter, mainly Van Exel's back up. But he was good, and if Magic never retired, he would have great off the bench, like he was suppose to be used.

I ever tell you i use to play ball with Stu Lance's son Shane? He tried out for the Lakers at the time Sedale and Van Exel were there. No chance at getting on at PG then. They also had Eddie Jones at the 2.

those were some underrated Laker teams
PG Nick Van Exel
SG Eddie Jones
SF Cedric Ceballos
PF Elden Campbell
C Vlade Divac
bench
Sedale Threatt
Anthony Peeler
George Lynch
Anthony "Pig" Miller
Corie Blount

Well, not really, Because Fisher has been more money that Goodrich. Goodrich has the stats and the All Star games, BUT Fisher has the titles and the clutch moments. Goodrich was never able to be that closer, except for 1972, his playoff stats never matched up to his season stats. Now better point guard, Goodrich easy, but greatness is usually defined by titles.

okay...robert horry was also greater than bob mcadoo. lmao...you're a funny guy.

As an overall player, McAdoo is a hall of famer of course and as a Laker, a great defender and the enforcer to the Showtime Era. If I had to re do the line ups, I'd put McAdoo in there instead of Horry. At the time I was thinking of my all Laker team though, I kept thinking of this shot.

Other than that, I think my all Laker team is pretty good. You had a 6'5" PF, when of course if James Worthy and Elgin Baylor were on the court together, Worthy would be the 4, and of course that's why the Lakers always had players like Green or McAdoo, because Worthy was not a banger, and neither was Baylor. Baylor was the original slasher, who drove the lane with great steps and lay ups and dunks. He was the precursor to Dr. J, and in his later years, when the players got bigger, Baylor played SF.

^LOL...again, worthy is not nearly as physical a player as baylor was, so you're completely off with that...baylor could play like barkley and as a matter of fact, he averaged 13.5 rebounds a game. he was a beast on the boards. if russell is considered a center in that era, baylor can definitely be considered a power forward, and baylor has been used as a power forward throughout his career...PeACe
PS...I brought up mcadoo and horry because mcadoo is to horry as goodrich is to fisher. really no comparison. 2 of them are great hall of famers and the other 2 are great role players. comparing role players to hall of fame superstars is really ridiculous, when you really think about it...PeACe

Of course Russell is a center, his 6'10" and beat a guy who was 7'1". That's a center. The only short power foward today was round.
Of course you know all, so why bother, but still Baylor was a 3.
I know what will convince you Baylor was a SF... THE COMPLETE IDIOTS GUIDE TO BASKETBALL.... In order to talk to an idiot, I have to reference a book for idiots.

first of all, Russell was 6'9" 215 pounds...Elgin Baylor was 6'5" 225 and, again, had a career average of 13.5 rebounds. LOL. talk about idiots and basketball. and why you postin a pic of out of shape Barkley? you know he wasnt THAT fat when he was playin in the league. Barkley=6'4" in the 90's...6'5" in the 80's is like 6'10" nowadays...Yes, Baylor was naturally a 3, but he was also used as a 4 at times, and the fact that you don't know this is quite sad.
doesn't look like a small dude, does he? especially not in that day and age.
