The Los Angeles Lakers have had some big names throughout their franchise history, guys like Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, and Kobe Bryant. One player who will go under-appreciated in Lakers history is Lamar Odom.
Odom is not only one of the more gifted power forwards the Lakers have ever had, but one of the best role players in league history. While it seems a bit strange to call Odom a “role player” due to his ability to change the game, that’s what he was.
