No Big Shot Rob?
No Silk Wilkes?
No Golden Throat?
But Walton? Seriously?
Why not just put Paul Sunderland up there too?

 @ Walton and Turiaf.
Had never heard of Slater Martin until now. Apparently he was on the Minneapolis Lakers championship teams with Mikan. 5'10" point guard. |

Slater had a wicked crossover. He crossed from back to front court. Without changing hands. That's right, a one handed crossover.

Well, the 2007 Lakers needed representation. I think they did a decent job spreading out the love from each era.
A sealed box is worth quite a bit of money, right?

I'd say at least 25 percent of their choices are really bad, and a couple of them are downright ridiculous |

Chick should be Park Place.
And just a FYI, I just threw my Laker's 72 championship record album away. Maybe I should have kept it, but I'm thinning out my things for my next phase in life.

You opened it!! It is not mint anymore. Now it won't be worth more than 5 dollars. Or is that what it was worth already? 
Bye.

Obviously, the game maker had some difficulty understanding - or appreciating - the roles and comparative impacts of many guys from Laker history. Was probably as Celtic fan at heart.
Cooper and not Wilkes ? Wow.
Lamar and not Pau ? Woof.
George Mikan barely included, and below Luke, Rambis and
Worst of all, the omission of Chick Hearn is unconscionable.  |
