Do you agree with Jerry West...Kobe "Greatest Laker of alltime"

After the NBA finals, Jerry West reiterated that he thought Kobe Bryant was the best Lakers player, ever. "Kobe Bryant is the greatest Laker to ever play. Period. I love Magic Johnson and his contribution, but Magic Johnson had a lot more help, to be honest with you. He played with sometimes five All-Stars. Kobe Bryant is just a different talent. He will go down as one of the two or three greatest players of all time, I think."

Think Kobe is the greatest Laker of all time or is it Magic? I work with Miracle Whip and we have a friendly competition running on our Facebook page called Take a Stand. Why not start a discussion at Facebook.com/miraclewhip and see who agrees with you?

I still give Magic the slight nod, but the gap is diminishing everyday. If Kobe leads the Lakeshow to another title next year, I'm not sure if I can keep Magic ahead. Both players were in different eras so its hard choice. Bottom line both players are tremendous players.

I stand by my original post, but I just realized Kobe played in the finals 7 out of the past 10 years.......5-2 in the Finals is nothing to sneeze at......
