Top 5 Lakers Centers

Written by Daniel Buerge on 09/22/2009 in Editorials - 13 Comments

4. Wilt Chamberlain

The Big Dipper played for Los Angeles from 1968 until 1973 after being acquired in one of the biggest trades in league history. Chamberlain joined a Lakers team that already featured Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, and was a member of the 1971 team that won an NBA record 33 consecutive games. Chamberlain’s list of records is incredibly impressive, as there is almost no scoring record that Wilt doesn’t hold. The most dominant center of his era, Chamberlain is largely considered by many to be one of the top five centers in league history.

I like the list…not sure I agree with the order, but with the top four who they are, you can make a legit argument for any of them as best center.

Completely utterly agree with Kareem topping all. He was the reason my dad became a huge fan of basketball & the Lakers, thus the reason why I’m a ridicious fan of the purple & gold. Thank goodness for being blessed with all our big men… my dad’s generation as well as mine!
