No, for the umpteenth time between here and the political threads. Not because you disagree with me.

Like talking to a friggin' wall.

There you go being condescending again. Why am I like talking to a wall? Is it because you cannot beat me down enough to agree with you?

Just in terms of guys who I most identify with being a Laker.

That's a pretty good list. I'd put Magic and Kobe as 1 and 1a. I think it's a toss up between the two.

How come no Jerry West?!?

edit: nm, it's supposed to be just Jerry Buss era.

If we did include Jerry West, I would put him at #5 on that list. It feels low to me and I'm the one who said it, but I don't think even Jerry would say he was better than those players. I know I've heard him say Kobe is on a completely different level than he ever played at. I think Magic played at a higher level too, and Shaq and Kareem are 2 of the greatest big men to ever play. So yeah, Jerry at 5.

No, because no matter how many times I say otherwise, you think that I think your opinion is ridiculous simply because you disagree with me. That's why even valrod was making fun of you.

Let me put it this way. I think Joe Montana is the best QB in Niner history, while someone else might think it's Steve Young. I wouldn't think that their opinion is ridiculous simply because they disagreed with me. But if that same person told me that Steve Young was the greatest Niner QB and #2 isn't even close...yes, at that point I would think it's absurd.

Now insert the names Kobe Bryant & Magic Johnson into that as is relates to the greatest Laker, and there you have it. Taking Magic over Kobe is a defensible point of view. Saying it's not even close is not.
