Many legends have played for the Lakers over the years. The Purple and Gold continues that tradition by having LeBron James on the roster right now.
James’ former teammate on the championship Cavaliers team, Richard Jefferson thinks that the greatest Laker is Magic Johnson.
He helped Los Angeles win five NBA championships and was key in bringing back attention to the league.
Via David Akerman of Lakers Daily:
“I think Magic Johnson is the greatest Laker of all time,” Jefferson told fellow former NBA player J.J. Redick. “I think he prolonged Kareem’s career, which allowed Kareem to reach the heights that he did, in my humble opinion. I think Magic Johnson changed the game — what he was able to do. He made the NBA relevant.”
