did the lakers have THE MOST top 10 players in history?

[mehyaM24]

kareem
magic
wilt
shaq
kobe

they had half of the top 10 in their primes. jerry buss and west

hands down the greatest franchise in sports with the celtics and yankees tied for second.

OT: most overrated has gotta be the bulls because they won all their championships in one decade. somewhat like the cowboys (not really).

This is the smartest post you've ever made on ISH. Well done my friend. Lakers are greatest sports franchise in North America only the Yankess and maybe Celtics come close.

Interview with Magic during the 1991 Finals:

"I would have never signed with the Bulls if they had won the coin flip that year. I would have stayed in school if they did. I wanted to play with Kareem"

Kobe before the 1996 draft:

"I will only play for the Lakers"

Example of 2 eventual superstars who wanted the easy way and no part of rebuilding

[SouBeachTalents]

That doesn't even include other all-time greats like West, Baylor, & Mikan

Kobe was drafted and traded before O'Neal went to Lakers

Kobe was drafted and traded before O'Neal went to Lakers

The trade was made because the Lakers found a buyer to unload Vlade and his $$$ cause they knew they had a 95% chance to land Shaq.

That was known right before the draft.

Yet somehow Kobe played 3 out of his 4 peak years with scubs. And only complained after 3.

Lebron have yet to play a single peak year with anything but championship caliber teams.

Wasted 3 years of his peak before complaining.

Look at Lebron. Rigging, colluding and betraying left and right. All to make sure that he is surrounded by a massive amount of talent during every one of his peak years.
