In honor of D Howard, Rondo, Baze, Ellington, and Ariza all coming back... Who is your FAVORITE 2-Time Laker?

Special shout out to both Wes Mathews and Gary Payton Jr., whose fathers also had stints with our club.

Gotta be Fish. Period!

His second stint was such a non existence I totally forgot artest had a second stint with us.

No Magic Johnson eh?

Fisher is the only one on that list that mattered. Our PG rotation was cycling through Chucky Atkins, Smush Parker, Jordan Farmar and Sasha Vujacic, when he took a buy out from Utah to come back.

I guess by "2-Time" I meant a player who was here, left for another team, then came back to us.

A blast from the past. Good to hear from you Mr.Landsberger.

This makes me realize how much I would’ve enjoyed if Eddie Jones or Nick Van Exel had made their way back to the Lakers.

Eddie Jones is one of my all time favorite Lakers. And I go back to the late 70’s. I wish he had made his way back to us at some point.
Out of this bunch, I’d have to go with D Fish. Metta is a close second.

Mine is rondo.

Went with meta but Fish is a close 2nd. Loved meta off the court.

Loved mwp too. Glad he won a ring w Kobe.

HOF career was here twice.

No love for AC Green and his lunch pail (and jherri curl). AC Green is the most amazing athlete in the history of humankind.

So less 2-time and more 2-timing

It's easily Fisher for me. I think of nothing but clutch shots and winning during his time in LA. He was really clutch during Kobe/Pau back-to-back titles. He hit those big shots in that swing game 4 when it looked like the Magic were going to tie the series, and hit some big ones in the 2010 finals against Boston as well. There's also his most famous 0.4 shot against the Spurs in 2004.

Fisher. He kept that Lakers team "together" the first few months of the season when Kobe wanted a trade and before he realized that players like Bynum, Luke, Lamar etc. were significantly better and before the trade for Gasol.

Too me, it's all about the impact of the second stint... Most of those guys' second comings were pretty meager.... Fisher, and Goodrich were the only guys who had really impactful second runs, that resulted in Championships... Goodrich had the greatest second coming of all of them...
But for me it's Fisher just for how much different he made the team when he came back... He was truly like a second leader of the team and seemed to always be making that key play that got us one step closer.
Goodrich was a perennial all star in his second run, but Fisher was the soul of the team, and the special sauce that made a Kobe team work.

Rondo because if he wins 2 championships with us that’s more than he won with Boston
