Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan are objectively considered some of the best players to ever play in the NBA, but in my opinion, the best Laker of the lot is Kobe Bryant. He carried the Lakers as no other man had before.

This shift from these two legends carrying the name of the NBA to Kobe happened when he won the Finals MVP in 2010. While Kobe's sub-par Game 7 performance may not hold some people to the same notion, the Lakers only got till Game 7 because of this individual. He was the highest scorer for both teams for 6 of the 7 games.
