As everybody knows, the Los Angeles Lakers boast one of the richest histories in the world of sports, and their lineage of all-time greats rivals that of any other team in any sport.
There was the George Mikan era. There was the era of Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain. There was the Showtime era of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Of course, the 2000s belonged to Shaquille O’Neal, Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol.
