Man DC.............. Skip Malone. I dont care if he played a season with us. In my eyes HE NEVER WAS AND HE WILL NEVER BE A LAKER. Even though we lost that year and I was bummed, in a way Im glad that we didnt win only becuase of Malone and I wouldnt want the biggest Utah JAZZ Douche Bag to win a ring with MY LAKERS..................... And yes I said MY LAKERS. :wink:


That guy was a Warrior for us. When Kobe was imploding and Shaq was complaining. KArl Malone came out with one leg, at the age of 40, and fronted up to the meanest frontcourt in the NBA while the glove moaned on the IR.

Its not what he did when he was here, its the way he went out. He sprained his right knee and played injured for four of the five games before missing game 5, so all his career the guy was a Ironman until the finals when we needed him the most and then the way he ended things with Kobe and the insults at Kobe's wife and then bailed out on us cause he knew Shaq was going to be around. Thats why.

I'm putting Cooper at the top of my list. He didn't back down from anybody.

Come to think of it, that pretty much describes Kobe as well, so I'll call it a tie.

I'd put A.C. in that class, but he gets a mandatory markdown for the jheri curls.

Moe Lucas and Coop, not sure if any of you guys remember a pre season game against the C's in Hawaii during the peak of our rivalry, but Coop and Parish started pushing and shoving then Lucas comes along and throws Parish into the seats under the basket.

Washington certainly punched someone harder than anyone ever before or since in the NBA. He literally knocked Rudy's skull off his neck.

only reason I didn't include Lucas is because he was only with us 1 season, but he actually goes down as 1 of the toughest in NBA history!
