Despite their recent struggles, and lack of a consistent, established scoring threat, if you search the internet looking for the greatest players of all time, you will quickly realize how the Los Angeles Lakers dominate the field.
Unlike the Chicago Bulls, whose talent was heavily concentrated in the Michael Jordan era, the Lakers, just like the Boston Celtics, have consistently had superstars spanning different eras.
From legends like Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain and Gail Goodrich, transitioning to the likes of Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabaar, then Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant, the Lakers have had no shortage of impressive individuals, who have in turn had impressive individual performances.
