All-Time Los Angeles Lakers Roster

Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant began his Laker career as a young teenager from the city of Philadelphia.  Bryant was placed along side Shaquille O’Neal, and they quickly became one of the most dominant duos of all-time.

Kobe was the young, flashy player who made the breath-taking plays and dunks; he captured the fans’ love due to his remarkable skill set at such an early age.

Kobe Bryant continued to produce for the Lakers, even after Shaquille O’Neal left for the Miami Heat.  Bryant has developed the reputation of being the best closer in the game, and many people believe Kobe is the best player to ever wear a Lakers jersey.

Kobe has five championship rings and he is looking for his second “three-peat,” which will give him an unprecedented sixth title.

In his fifteen year NBA career, Bryant has averaged 25.3 points per game, 4.7 assists per game and 5.3 rebounds per game.

Kobe has also received three All-Star Game MVPs, two Finals MVPs and one regular season MVP.

Bryant has no doubt deserved this position on the all-time Lakers roster, the greatest player in franchise history has been an icon the minute he first wore a jersey.
