James is only ranked tenth! Top 10 superstars in Lakers history: Kobe beats the Magician, O Neal is fifth

The Lakers and the Celtics are two major teams in the NBA. They have won 17 and 18 championships respectively in team history, and a total of 35. The NBA has only been established less than 80 years ago, which means that the Lakers and the Celtics have taken away nearly half of the NBA championships.

Although the Celtics have one more championship than the Lakers, most of their championships were won in the 1960s. Under the leadership of Lord of the Rings Russell, the Celtics won 11 championships in 13 years, including an eight-game winning streak. In addition, the number of superstars in the history of the Celtics is not as good as the Lakers. In terms of all the giants, it is obvious that the Lakers are the number one giant team in the NBA.

More than half of the top ten stars in the NBA have played for the Lakers, namely James, Jabbar, Magic, Chamberlain, O'Neal, and Kobe. Moreover, Kobe and the Magic have only played for the Lakers throughout their careers. Jabbar and O'Neal both joined the Lakers at the peak of their careers, while Chamberlain and James came to the Lakers at the end of their careers.

In addition, in the history of the Lakers, there have been superstar players such as George McCann, Jerry West, Elkin Baylor, James Worthy, Gasol, and Thick Brows. Just last season, the Lakers also traded Doncic, the new generation superstar, and will usher in a new era.

Due to the gathering of superstars in the history of the Lakers, some US media have also ranked the superstars in the history of the Lakers and selected the top ten superstars, namely Kobe, Magic, Jabbar, West, O'Neal, Worthy, Chamberlain, Baylor, McCann, and James. The biggest controversy may be who is the first person in the team history, Kobe or the Magician.

Kobe and the Magic spent their entire careers with the Lakers, and both led the Lakers to win 5 championships, and had a lot of personal honors. Although the Magician's historical status is higher than Kobe, many people think that Kobe is the real number one person in the history of the Lakers, because Kobe's career length is longer than that of the Magician. He played for 20 seasons and his influence is not inferior to that of the Magician.

In addition, O'Neal is also a top ten superstar in history, but he can only rank fifth in the history of the Lakers. On the one hand, there are indeed too many superstars in the history of the Lakers. On the other hand, O'Neal joined the Lakers halfway, so he can only rank fifth.

James is currently enough to compete with Jordan for the first time in history, but since he joined the Lakers at the end of his career, he is only ranked tenth. However, considering that James led the Lakers to win the championship and he also won the FMVP, there is no problem with the ranking higher.

If Doncic can lead the Lakers to win several championships and become a dynasty team like Jabbar and O'Neal at the time, he will also become the top superstar in the history of the Lakers, but it would be great to be able to enter the top five.
