When it comes to All-Time lineup for any particular team it give the fams a chance to truely fantasize with the eternal question "If only".  It allows them to cross decades of players and put together a team from anyone who has played for your home team into a All-Time Greatest Line-up.

     It will be interesting to see the various line-ups and I'm sure a few die hard fans can argue each of their teams merits until the "cows come home", "Pigs Fly" or the price of gas falls back to under $2.00.  That being said here are a few lineups the Los Angeles Lakers could throw at you:

FIRST TEAM:

Point Gaurd - Magic Johnson

Shooting Gaurd- Kobe Bryant

Small Foward- Elgin Baylor

Power Foward- Bob McAdoo

Center- Wilt Chamberlain

Sixthman- George Miken

     This lineup would dazzle most All-Time teams, it not only has the scorers but also would be able to distribute the ball around.  With all players being to create their own shots, if needed.  All have numberous triple doubles and Chamberlain once had a Quadriple Double with 12 Blocks!  Miken as the sixth man because in todays game he could play at the 3 thur 5 positions, with the two gaurds we wouldn't need any backup!

SECOND TEAM:

Point Gaurd- Jim Polland

Shooting Gaurd- Jerry West

Small Foward- Vern Mikkelen

Power Foward- Slater Martin

Center- Kareem Adul-Jabbar

Sixthman- Connie Hawkins

     This line-up would be more a half court set all shooters and set shooters.  As quality as this Hall of Fame bunch is they would be in need of stronger rebounding.  Martin and Jabbar would get there share, but Mikkelen, West and Polland would have to crash the boards as well making them susceptible to a fast-breaking team.  Connie Hawkins is sixth man because of his flexibility.  He could spell any of the starters he had excellent ball controll with his hugh hands and distributed the ball quite well throughout his career and was as atheletic a big man as their ever was, think Dr. J mixed with Walt Frazier.

THIRD TEAM-

Point Gaurd- Gail Goodrich

Shooting Gaurd- Clyde Lovellette

Small Foward- James Worthy

Strong Forward- Dennis Rodman

Center- Shaquille O'Niel

Sixthman- Micheal Cooper

     This team would be able to compete with Any all-Time lineup from any team except perhaps thier own listed above.  They would be able to fast break with Worthy on the wing or or power it inside to O'Niel.  They also could spread the defense with Goodrich and Lovellette's shooting.  Bringing in Cooper Would help fill the lanes and there are few finishers as able as Cooper and Worthy on the break.  Far from One dimensional it would cause headaches and few second chance points with Rodman cleaning up the boards.

     So here are just a few the Lakers could put together.  Let's see some of your teams All-time Line up's.  ABA affiliations are exceptable or course as well as teams moves.

     Have it it!!!
