The Times' Houston Mitchell recently surveyed readers for their choices for the greatest Lakers of all time. His report:
We got 1,151 ballots from you, the loyal reader (and believe me, no one here thought we had 1,151 readers left), for the greatest L.A. Lakers of all time. But before we get to the results, here are my choices for Nos. 4 to 1.
No. 4: Kobe Bryant
No. 3: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
No. 2: Jerry West (Almost considered making him No. 1 because of his tenure as GM).
No. 1: Magic Johnson
Check out the entire list at the Fabulous Forum, The Times' local sports blog.

Kobe is the all time greatest to me every since I seen Kobe play the first time from then I knew he would be my all time favorite player.I like his playing style he is good under pressure and knows how to get the ball to the hole.There are people I know that don't like him but I don't care what no one says I will always pick Kobe first.If there was anything I could do just to meet him one time that would be the greatest day in my life because I always wanted to see him,but I am watching them in there games and I hope they make it to the TOP!!!!! Good Luck Lakers
