Los Angeles Lakers
I grew up hearing about Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar all the time, but the name always seemed obscure. What’s a Laker? What does it mean?.

Yeah, that definitely doesn’t have the same ring to it. Read more

Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal are the best big-little duo to ever play the game. According to Brett Ballantini of SLAM, based on purely on PER, Shaq and Kobe are the best duo.

Had Shaq stayed in Los Angeles, the duo would have added at least 2 or 3 more championship rings to their fingers.
