Nobody Asked Me But:
Tracy or Hepburn? Newman or Redford? West or Bryant? How can I choose between any one of these pairs? Luckily for the first two I don’t have to, but with Jerry West and Kobe Bryant vying for the fifth spot on my all-time Laker team, I am stuck.
Although Laker history is filled with the names of some of the all-time greats, the first four spots are relatively easy:
PG - Magic
C - Kareem
PF - Worthy
SF – Baylor.
So who starts at shooting guard, Mr. NBA Logo, Jerry West, or the man good enough to have only one NBA name, Kobe? My first instinct is to cheat by moving Magic to point power forward and have “Big Game James” Worthy come off the bench. But I will not let myself get away with that. So I will make the impossible choice and pick Kobe.
I am sorry Jerry. You were magnificent.
Joining Jerry on my second team are:
C – Wilt
F – Wilkes
F - Cooper
G - West
G – Goodrich
How great a second team is that with no room for Shaq? You be the judge.
