For sure. I'm a bit bias having seen Kobe play his entire career, so I'll present the argument that my barber (huge Laker fan) did on behalf of Magic Johnson. Magic ushered in the Showtime scene for LA. No look, behind the back, passes...the excitement, the flair...he not only kept LA at the forefront of the NBA, but increased TV ratings and made the NBA appealing to the masses. As great as Kobe is/has been, he's never done that. So Magic gets the edge imho.

If anyone has the Lakers Dynasty Series DVD, Jerry West talks about how the Lakers were usually in the back of the newspaper and how they were a second class team then Magic's showtime changed that. LA went from a Dodger/Rams town to Laker town within a short amount of years.

you can make a case for kareem. 14 seasons is a lot

this.

i think kareem is the greatest laker.

It's really just up in the air with Kareem and Magic in my opinion.

As of right now I have Magic slightly over Bean. When Bean's career is over though that might change.

Lakers need to stop the Thunder's three point shooting 

 

[laker4lifeman]

not a bad start.

 

[westcoastsfinest]

I take it that Nash isn't supposed to be back until after Christmas?

 

[CHAOSE57]

Howard and Hill ? oh my

 

[laker4lifeman]

Howard is going to have to log a lot of minutes tonight if we want to win.

[anderson]

Laker pg's just cant defend.

 

[CHAOSE57]

I knew that was coming :x

 

[JCMojica24]

He also hit 4 of 5 free throws!

 

[essential1]

I knew that was coming :x

That last play can't fault Morris. He got up to stop the shot. WB just made a great shot.

 

[JCMojica24]

Nice pass from Ebanks to Hill!

 

[CHAOSE57]

I wasn't blaming Morris, I just felt that WB was gonna make that shot.
