Greatest Laker Point Guard NOT named Magic Johnson
OG Hack Wilson:
Goodrich shits on the others
Hatesrats™:
You should have said, Post Johnson era.
Then Fish would have won hands down.
Tho Nick The quick was a personal fav of mine.
(I ain't gonna front, I liked those Van Exel era Lakers, very 8))
Sucks we lost alot of games, But the transition was fun.

It was those Nick Van Exel teams that got me back into the Lakers. When Magic retired, I was even cheering for the Clippers...lol. I always loved the underdog, which is how I got started being an Angel fan, that it made sense for me to root for the Clippers. But man, Van Exel was killing it, I turned back a Laker game in 94, and they won in the 4th quarter. It was like every game was either they lose by blow out, or win by the last shot... haha. Those Laker teams were not the best, but man I loved watching them, and really wished Van Exel and Eddie Jones, and even Elden were on the title teams. Van Exel's exit came when he shoved that ref in Denver, since then Jerry West I think wanted to trade him, but his friendship with Shaq kept him around (the shove was before signing Shaq, so West used him to communicate), Jones trade was the ultimate power move by GM Shaq 'cause Jones was almost like Kobe's big brother, and when the Shaq/Kobe beef started out of no where Shaq wanted a 3 point thread andso out went Eddie, and of course Elden went with him. Man, As much as I love Shaq, that was a punk move, especially 'cause it did bit him in the ass later. Elden went with that trade with Eddie, and it was Elden in 2004 that was able to guard Shaq one on one and allowed Detroit to focus on everyone else and Detroit beat the Lakers. All my years watching Shaq, Elden was always the best at defending him, Dikembe Mutombo was always a close second.
