I've mentioned this before, but it's worth repeating. Best basketball players in the world by decade since 1970. Four out of five are Lakers. 

1970s: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

1980s: Magic Johnson

1990s: Michael Jordan

2000s: Kobe Bryant

2010s: LeBron James

James wasn’t a Laker during his prime.

That's true. It's still three out of five. An all time Lakers prime team would beat an all time team from every other team. 

Magic, Kobe, Worthy, Kareem and Shaq would beat Oscar, Jordan, Bird, Duncan, and Russell. Put James, West, Wilt on the bench. They'd kill any team you could construct of non-Lakers.

[harveycmd]

I love Bird, but he was literally dominated by James Worthy from 1985-1987.

1987 NBA defensive player of the year Michael Cooper says 17 year old Kobe was the toughest player he ever defended. He guarded Bird and Jordan. 

 

[harveycmd]

Kobe Bryant famously played through the 2009-10 NBA season with a broken right index finger, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to the 2010 championship. He suffered an avulsion fracture on Dec. 11, 2009, but refused surgery, modified his shooting technique, and won the NBA Finals MVP. [1, 2]

[harveycmd]

More AI search stuff: Kobe Bryant is widely considered the toughest NBA player ever due to his relentless "Mamba Mentality," enabling him to play through severe injuries, maintain an unparalleled work ethic, and dominate opponents mentally and physically.

[harveycmd]

Jerry West's evaluation and pick of Kobe Bryant as a 17 year old is considered the greatest move in NBA history.

[harveycmd]

Kobe Bryant's performance in May and June 2001, particularly during the NBA playoffs and Finals, is widely regarded as his ascension to the best player in the world, characterized by an unprecedented level of two-way dominance. At only 22 years old, Bryant averaged 29.4 points, 7.3 assists, and 6.1 rebounds per game throughout the Lakers' 15-1 championship run, with his performance earning praise from teammate Shaquille O'Neal, who labeled him the best player in the world at that time.
