yes, Lakers have historically had the most HOF level players play for them. That is why they are one of the 2 most successful franchises. Kobe was so lucky to be having the most dominant center of all time to play with him.

If you mean all players at their peak then Lakers are easily the GOAT franchise

BasketballReference's Hall of Fame Probability list:

Pau Gasol ranks 97th with a 0.6107 chance.

Manu ranks 130th with a 0.2578 chance.

Yet nobody would go around saying Manu is simply an All-Star, not a HoFer. Pau is a Hall of Famer....Kobe played with two.

Why is Magic on the F team?

he might make it. but its not 100%

if he gets in i say its due to his international resume mixed with his "pretty good" nba career

still.. thats more of an international contributor nomination like yao ming



2 third team all nbas and 4 reserve asg's while probably retiring with 16-17ppg isnt much of a HOF'r in my opinion

[qrich]

Why is Magic on the F team?

To prop up Kobe and put everyone else down.

C"mon bruh, you know the OP.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

PG: Bob Cousy
SG: Paul Pierce
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Kevin Garnett
C: Bill Rusell

Why is Magic on the F team?

for balance

i want all the teams to be competitive

they pretty much all have a shot at most if not all other teams best 5

[MP.Trey]

Why is Magic on the F team?

Because Jerry West who's more fit to play shooting guard is a better point guard than him.

So is Norm Nixon, Nick Van Exel, 60 year old Gary Payton and Slater Martin, obviously.
