The Los Angeles Lakers have a great history of big men throughout their past. From George Mikan to Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Shaquille O’Neal, Pau Gasol and now on to Anthony Davis, the Purple and Gold have housed the greatest big men the NBA has ever seen.
Davis is the latest and has already made a major impact helping the Lakers to win the 2020 NBA Championship and proving himself as one of the most versatile bigs the league has ever seen. He is much different than any other big the Lakers have had before, but that doesn’t mean the respect isn’t there as Abdul-Jabbar is a huge fan.
