Los Angeles Lakers: The forgotten Hall of Famer of the Showtime era

Do you remember when the Los Angeles Lakers had four Hall of Famers on their team and did not win the championship?

I remember when they had and won.

Actually, there was a time when they had even five.

In the ’80s, the Lakers were highlighted by legends Magic Johnson, James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who prompted LA to win five championships. These stars were also three former first overall picks, two of them MVPs, and would end up in the Basketball Hall of Fame. No wonder they dominated the decade, especially on the West Coast.
