The NBA and it's 'experts' voted the 1987 Lakers as the best team in NBA history, followed by the 1986 Celtics. I find it hard to disagree as the best finals series I've seen was the 1987 Lakers/Celtics. The 1985 series was pretty special as well.

yep, well theyd know more than me. my team was special in so many other ways

Karl Malone only played about 40 games with LA. Doesn't deserve to be any all-time great Lakers list.

Hence why he specified 'on paper'. As in players who have played for the Lakers and where they'd stand if they were at their peak, even if not when with the Lakers.

yep, sure have. got it sent over from borders in the states....and then in a turn of irony i took it over to LA when i was there in december/jan. read it every night. just being in LA, going to staples center and reading it there added something special
