West/Magic/Kobe vs Wilt/Kareem/Shaq 

Post#1 » by Brenice » Thu Feb 3, 2011 4:07 pm

During its history, the Lakers have had some of the all-time best guards and centers suit up. If you had to eliminate the guards or centers from ever wearing a Laker uniform, which would it be?

Do not factor in that the centers listed were not Lakers for their full careers.

I'll take the guards only because I'm a Magic fan.

If I'm not factoring in partial careers, the centers have been more significant players and it's not real close. If I do factor it in, it's pretty easily the guards.

I'd eliminate the centers, 'cause the guards brought more rings. Although, obviously without the centers those rings wouldn't happen, but that's not the argument, now is it?

West Magic and Kobe spent their entire careers with the Lakers.

Magic and Kobe brought them 10 rings.


Easy question.
