  • Only a player’s achievement with the Los Angeles Lakers counts. It doesn’t matter what he did before or after he played for them. After all, this is a list of Laker greats.
  • All player stats and rankings are based on how he has performed in the 21st century (including the entire 1999-2000 season). Seasons prior to 2000 are not counted.
