For me it's still Magic with Kobe coming close, then Kareem followed by Jerry, Shaq, Wilt and Elgin.
-
Dwight Howard
-
Kobe aint finished his career... as of now, he's on pace to end his career as the greatest Laker, as well as being in GOAT discussions. For now, Magic is the greatest Laker, and even GOAT. Nobody realizes, Magic still had some great years left in him when he hung it up. No doubt, we'd have a couple more Lakers-Bulls Finals if it weren't for bitchass Malone preventing a Magic comeback in 1992...even when he returned in 1996, he was amazing for his age and made a huge difference to that Laker team. Nobody really takes into account how Magic was robbed of some great, GREAT years when discussing GOATs.

LOL@the Lakers being done. Just because the Bulls beat us that season doesn't mean we couldn't have returned stronger next season to get our revenge....Happens all the time in the NBA. Magic was still playin amazing ball when he retired, and even upon his short comeback in '92, Lakers looked 2 be hungry as ever:

Face it..Magic had a lot of great seasons left in him when he retired....who knows how many titles he'd have if it weren't for the HIV.
-
5 titles because he wasn't beating Jordan/Pippen lmao
-
5 titles because he wasn't beating Jordan/Pippen lmao
laughable...Jordan has never beaten a team on the level of the showtime Lakers to win a title. If Jordan's prime years were in the 80s, he wouldnt have a threepeat under his belt.
-
Wilt. End thread.

Wilt. End thread.
LMAO....there is no "end thread". this is as close as it gets. Wilt, by many, aint even regarded as the best center the Lakers ever had.

With that being said, Magic is the greatest laker - end of discussion.

Earvin "Magic" Johnson
-
LOL @ NIK tryna downplay Jordan like he was "alright".
Nigga, Kobe beat the Sixers with nobody but A.I. & the Nets with Kerry Kittles & Keith Van Horn LOL.
You can't win rings with niggas named Keith.
Kobe never upped his game like Jordan did. Kobe just rode his same numbers he was averaging all year & won because his teams were massively better all around than the other team.

Magic
Kobe
Kareem

LMAO!

yes...i'm mad. mad that magic had to retire because of the HIV virus, taking away precious years off of his legacy.

right...cuz Jordan faced a team like Boston in the Finals LMAO. and great argument there with "Kobe had a great cast"....only problem with that argument=all of Jordan's supporting casts have been better than Kobe's last 2 champion supporting casts. Scottie Pippen as a second option? good lord. shhhhhhh :sshh:
-
Dwight Howard
Negro please! Dwight ain't going to the lakers. He'd have a better chance of being with the Clippers than Lakers. Orlando ain't gonna want Bynum & Gasol or Scrodom for Dwight. Besides there's a salary cap & those good Lakers[Kobe & the other 3 mentioned] are old. When they retire, Dwight will be in a similar thing with Orlando. He's a better fit with the Clippers young nucleus who's on their way up. Plus they got the wolves 2012 1st round pick, high lottery most likely which they can use as trade bait.
Wilt. End thread.
Wilt will be considered cause he was wilt but he only got 1 title with the Lakers. But Wilt only won 1 title with the Lakers, 1-3 in the finals. Not the greatest Laker. Wasn't born when he played so I didn't see him play.
I'm kinda biased with the 80's Lakers so for me its Kareem, then Magic. Never accepted those new lakers so I ain't saying them. I will admit Kobe has the 80's Lakers work ethic, unlike Whaq. But i'll never put any of the 90's-current Lakers over the 80's Lakers.

The league was weak as fuck. For three seasons in a row the Lakers made the Finals, the favorites going into the season were the Lakers & Celtics & it happened twice in three years. That doesn't just happen if there are other competitive teams.
& if the Heat didn't come together this year, the Celtics probably would have made it again lol.
& what are you saying? The 72 win Bulls couldn't beat the recent Celtic teams? & only Kobe could?

Jerry Fuckin West.

as great as jerry west was, he is not amongst the top 3 Lakers, let alone number 1.

as if the league wasn't weak and watered down during Jordan's championship seasons LOL..... i'm saying exactly what i'm saying, it ain't rocket science. i'm not speaking in metaphors. Jordan didn't face a team like Boston to win a championship, and he sure as hell never won anything without a hall-of-fame second option. spin it how u like, but facts are facts.

Well actually you saying "Jordan never played a team as good as the Boston Celtics" is an opinion, not a fact..lol.
But this thread is greatest Laker ever & there is a debate. Greatest player ever is Jordan & that isn't up for debate.

OK...so which team did Jordan beat in the Finals that were comparable to the KG-Pierce-Allen Celtics? lemme know.

You can't judge. It's all opinion. You can not scientifically prove to me which championship caliber team was better than another championship caliber team, especially when it was a complete different era of Basketball.
lol, you said Jordan was in his prime in the late 80's, you were like two years old. Who are you to judge? You caught Jordan at the end of his career.

uh, no, i never said that...Jordan was in his prime in the early-mid 90's. by his second threepeat, I was already watching every playoff game and was heavily into basketball. so I got to experience him first-hand, and i'll tell u this much; Nike and David Stern have hyped Jordan up more than any athlete has ever been hyped in any sport. Basketball is WAY deeper than Michael Jordan, and there were many all-time greats before him, and many more to still come. Basketball doesn't start and end with Jordan lmao. The peeps who were around to see Wilt-Russell-Baylor-Robertson-Magic-Bird etc. all get offended when people say Jordan is the undisputed GOAT, because there is no such thing as an undisputed GOAT. He is amongst the GOATS, but he is farrrr from head-and-shoulders above the rest, like the general public have been made to believe (most of who weren't even around to see him play) .

LOL, ok. early-mid 90's? So you were six, seven or eight? Yeah, really understanding the game. You're an idiot.
You're just mad you love Kobe, would suck his dick on call, however, MJ is outstandingly better.

basically, growing up watching basketball, 9-10-11, i saw Jordan play and i can still remember it like it was yesterday...i collected cards at that time and knew a whole lot more by that age than u do currently LOL. regardless, that's not the point. point is that Jordan was a great amongst many, MANY greats. when Kobe retires, he will be a great amongst many, MANY greats. They, along with Magic, Wilt, Kareem, Russell etc. will all be in GOAT discussions....honestly, though, what makes u say Jordan is the undisputed GOAT? cuz everyone else says that? clearly, u have no opinions of ur own...u weren't even around when he played his prime years and yet u still insist that he is the greatest ever, without really having a clue. is that not the most sheepish/bandwaggonish shit one can do? get some opinions of ur own and quit followin the heard, young'n.

^You're an idiot. Statistics & old video prove all. There is video of Pau saving Kobe's ass & Shaq winning ring after ring. But there is no footage of Jordan ever losing control or Scottie saving the day.
& you cannot have an understanding of anything the same way at 16-17-18 than you had when you were 9-10-11. But yet again, NIK, you break the genetics of human beings.
& LMFAO, you collected basketball cards? This is coming from the same hypocrite ass nigga who said stats don't mean anything? Go to sleep, child.

wtf did u just say....try makin sense, biebs. old video doesn't prove anything. I can post videos that make Smush Parker look like a hall-of-famer. Fact of the matter is, there is no true way to prove who the GOAT is. Every era had its GOAT- 60s Wilt, 70s Kareem, 80s Magic, 90s MJ, 00s Kobe. Obviously, if Jordan's prime was in the 80's, he would not have 6 rings. If Kobe's prime was in the 60's, he could have countless rings and he would average 50 PPG....thats why we do not use "stats" and "highlights" to determine who the GOAT is lmao.
-
^Well how about you make up your dumbass mind up then son? One minute you "can't prove who the GOAT is". Then "we don't use stats to determines GOATs", despite you JUST saying you physically can't prove it.
& if you can't prove it, why do you even bother crying day in & day out that Kobe is because of "random stat". You're the most hypocritical nigga ever. You made a thread a month ago using a stat to try to fight your argument.
I love the way your biased ass worded that though, "If MJ played in the 80's, he would have no rings & if Kobe played in the 60's he'd have countless". See-through. Why couldn't you say Kobe in the 80's wouldn't have won & MJ in the 60's would have 10-peated? ::)

Ok, then you weren't around for Magic, but say he's the best???!!! Hypocritical. And being 9 or 10 doesn't make you an expert just cuz you were collecting cards! I'm born in 1980, and I don't consider myself an expert on BIrd or Magic because I was just too young...As for era's, how many titles would Magic have if he played primarily in the 90's? See, works both ways.
Magic, Bird, etc, say Jordan is the best ever. Many do. Of course, shit like that is subjective, can't be measured, due to different eras. Some disagree, fine. Yes, the average fan from that era says Jordan, but today, the average fan (teenagers especially) says Kobe. Who do the real bball heads say? Usually, Jordan. Sometimes Magic.
How about this? Name the player who, overall, dominated most in the following three categories:
1) Individual accolades (trophies) 2) Statistics (scoring, rebounds, assists, etc) 3) TITLES

all I'm sayin is, no one can say "MJ is the UNDISPUTED GOAT, head-and-shoulders above the rest"....I have maybe 20 tapes all about the Showtime Lakers and a few books as well, so even though I wasnt old enough to watch them back then, I know my Laker history well.
