Remember every player is in their prime.
Here are the rosters for your consideration:
EArl:
Spoiler:
C: Wilt Chamberlain- Self explanatory
F: Connie Hawkins- One of the greatest forwards to play the game
F: Cedric ceballos- Athleticism
G: Eddie Jones- Mini Kobe
G: Brian Shaw
6th Man: Derek Fisher
Coach: Frank Vogel
GM's word: The second I got Wilt, I knew my offense would be run through the half court. The ball will be force fed into Wilt as the first option and then Mr. Hawkins as the second option. Brian Shaw and Derek Fishers job is to basically bring the ball up the court pass it up to my bigs and shoot the open three whenever the clog the lane. Eddie Jones and Cedric can shoot the three as well and also run the floor when needed. Derek Fisher as my sixth man was needed so he can replace Shaw during the last minutes of the game hitting clutch shots and just overall using his hustle/intangibles on the offensive as well as the defensive end of the floor.
Defense:
Frank Vogel will preach defense and having Wilt anchor the defense is anyones dream (No one is coming into EArl's paint with the big dipper waiting for you). Every player I have is a capable defender and with Vogels help will learn to play great team defense.

VS
TylersLakers:
Spoiler:
PG: Nick Van Exel
One of the most exciting Laker guards in history. Really helped transition the franchise after Magic Johnson and kept the Lakers exciting. Knows how to get up and down. Best season: 2000-2001 -- 17.7 PPG, 8.5 APG
SG: Trevor Ariza
The glue guy to the 2009 Championship. During the season made highlight plays, athletic, defended, and come playoff time -- you could not leave him open. Best time: 2009 NBA Playoffs -- 23 GS, 11.3 PPG, 4.2 RPG, 1.6 SPG, 47% 3PT, 50% FG
SF: Jamaal Wilkes
Stu Lantz has an absolute hard-on for this man. The man with the "Silk" jump shot. His jersey was retired by the Lakers this season. Best season: 1980-1981 -- 22.6 PPG, 5.4 RPG, 1.5 SPG, 53% FG
PF: Happy Hairston
Needed a good physical 4 next to Kareem. Managed to snatch him up. One of the best players on the team that won 33 games in a row. Best Season: 1969-1970 -- After coming to the Lakers from Detroit, in his first 55 games with LAL, he averaged -- 20.6 PPG, 12.5 RPG, 49% FG, 80% FT
C: Kareem Abdul Jabbar
In the argument for the greatest player and Laker of all time. The NBA's current all time leading scorer and has the most unstoppable shot in NBA history. Best Season: 1971-1972 -- 34.8 PPG, 16.6 RPG, 4.6 APG, 57% FG
Sixth Man: Cliff Robinson
Don't get confused with the gangster Clifford Robinson. This Clifford Robinson was good. Best Season: 1982-1983 -- 18.0 PPG, 11.1 RPG
Head Coach: Mark Jackson
A great PG in his playing days, a master motivator. Inspiration. Ask his current players, they play their ass off for him. Led a young GSW team to the playoffs this season without one of their top players in David Lee.

Why TylersLakers?
My plan of attack going in once I got Kareem Abul Jabbar was surround him with another Laker jersey that's currently retired (Wilkes) and an exciting guard in the back court (Van Exel). Once those three positions were filled, I wanted roleplayers who could come in and be dogs defensively and do the intangibles (Hairston, Ariza). Kareem proved during the Showtime Days that he could fit in just fine with an up-tempo attack, and Van Exel knows how to push the pace and excite the crowd with Ariza on the wing. When in the half court, there's no better option than Kareem on the block, or a wide open Wilkes jumper. The answer is simple -- two Laker jerseys that are retired, two of the biggest fan favorites, with a member of the biggest win streak of all time mixed in. Add in Clifford Robinson's 17 PPG and 8 RPG career average and it's over.
