HooverOutlaw Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Under 30 fans claims he has taken the Lakers to greatness. He is a better laker than these greats they claim. Strictly taking as a laker 1. Magic 2. Kareem 3. Kobe 4. Shaq 5. Jerry West 6. James Worthy 2019 missed playoffs 2020 worthless title played at Disney world 2021 1st round exit 2022 missed playoffs 2023 swept 2024 ?

Nolebull813 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 When people downplay the “covid titles” in sports, just think of it as if your team didn’t win it, and it was a useless covid title then what does that say about your team that they couldn’t win some meaningless covid title? How bad is your team that they couldn’t even win it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ararar Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 As a long time laker fan when it’s all said and done he will be considered a laker great in the same way Wilt is.He will be down the list unless he wins another championship.He’s holding up his end of the bargain but the front office isn’t.

It’s really not a debate between hardcore laker fans. I would think that Magic and Kobe would be 1A and 1B on the list then 2. Kareem 3. Elgin Baylor 4.West 5. Worthy 6. Shaq (played less than half his career with Lakers). 7. Michael Cooper (one of the best defenders all time). When I think of great Lakers Lebron just doesn’t stick out, he just doesn’t have roots anywhere. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB was a complete joke and Shouldn’t Count…. They only played 60 games which is barley 1/3 of a baseball regular season, too much happens in that other 2/3 of a season for a 60 game season to be considered legit…. Amd no team proves this more then The Dodgers who won it that year…. In this incredible run of 100+ win seasons they have had, the only title they won was in the 60 game season…. 🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 For Bill Russel’s entire NBA career there was anywhere between 8 to 14 teams. Now there is double to quadruple that. There was only six teams who made the playoffs. Boston only needed to win eight games for the championship. Now you need 16. in conclusion, all of Bill Russell‘s championships, and the Boston Celtics as a whole don’t mean shit and should have asterisks next to them Bill, Russel can’t be seen as an all-time great Celtic because all his titles were won with half of the teams and have the playoff games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was saying it in jest. Meaning it doesn’t matter the criteria if everyone is held to the same standard then it doesn’t matter. 10 games, 20 games etc whoever comes out on top should be viewed as the champion and not be held to a standard of past or future years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweetlarry Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 All Covid titles are trash. If you didn’t play your full year, like every other, it’s not a fair comparison. As a lifelong Lakers fan I don’t cheer for LeBron. He is certainly one of the best to ever lace em up, but he isn’t my type of player or person. 1- Magic 2- Kobe 3- Kareem 4- West 5- Worthy/Shaq Shaquille is my Dude from college, but not a lifetime Laker. Kareem wasn’t either, but he’s Kareem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same Here!…. Kobe and Magic!…. Lebron just doesn’t do it for me…. He has moved around to much and never built anything sustainable…. Kobe was a Laker for life and won 3 titles with Shaq and 2 without!…. Even Magic called Kobe “The Greatest Laker Ever”…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only young clueless think he is the greatest laker. I sure hope not. That’s parent/brother/uncle/cousin/friend/teacher etc necessity to get the kids started with a solid foundation. I was very impressed with my Cousin’s 11 yr old son. He was watching the baseball game away from us and in a 10-1 game score, he texted his Dad if we saw the tag miss at second on the double. Impressive 11 yr old! He was watching all the way through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
