Aside from what you see today, the Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the greatest franchises in the NBA. They’ve had legendary players on the team including Jerry West (the NBA symbol), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (the all-time points leader in the NBA) , Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal and of course Kobe Bryant. Magic Johnson appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and discussed the Lakers, as well as who’s the greatest from the franchise.
Magic says it’s not himself, but Kobe Bryant was the greatest Laker ever.
Kimmel brought up KAJ to which Magic says, “Kareem is the greatest athlete that Los Angeles has ever seen.” He brought up the three NCAA titles he won at UCLA and then the five championships with the Lakers. He says KAJ isn’t the greatest Laker because he didn’t play his entire career with the team.
Agree or nah?
