Lakers career average per game: Kobe Bryant is at the bottom, O'Neal is 3rd, and No. 1 is unexpected

Recently, an American media summarized the career average of the Lakers' all-time superstar ranked TOP5 in terms of career points. In this list, the two legendary names of Magic and Abdul-Jabbar were not shortlisted, and Kobe Bryant was only ranked fifth, which has to make people sigh the star-studded history of the Lakers. So, let's take a look at the specific ranking of this list.

5. Kobe

One of the greatest players of this era, Bryant dedicated two decades of his career to the Lakers, bringing them five championships. At the same time, Kobe is also regarded as the best scorer in the history of the Lakers, having created a series of scoring records such as 81 points per game, 62 points in the third quarter, and 50+ in four consecutive games, and he is also the scoring champion in Lakers' history. However, Bryant's career average of 25.0 points per game can only rank fifth in team history, largely because of his low scoring as a bench in his early days.

4. West

West was the league's No. 1 quarterback in the '60s, led the Lakers to a championship in 1972, and was the only loser in history to lose FMVP. During his 14-year career, West played for the Lakers, averaging 27.03 points per game, ranking fourth in team history.

3. O'Neill

Although O'Neal only played for the Lakers for 8 seasons, he led the team to three consecutive championships at the beginning of the century, establishing an invincible purple-gold dynasty, and even in the eyes of many fans, the peak O'Neal is the most dominant center in history, there is no one! O'Neal's Lakers career averaged 27.03 points per game, but the number accurate to the decimal place was slightly higher than West, so it ranked third.

2. Baylor

Elgin Baylor is the saddest uncrowned king in NBA history, losing eight Finals, and the team just happened to win the championship in the year of retirement, which is embarrassing. Still, Baylor remains one of the best scorers in Lakers history, averaging 27.36 points per game in his career, ranking second in team history.

1. James

James's greatness goes without saying, he has achieved incredible achievements in the past two decades, and 4 championships + 4FMVP + 4MVP + all-time scoring championship is enough to put him in the best discussion in history. In the five seasons with the Lakers, James scored a total of 7614 points, averaging 27.38 points per game, ranking first in team history. However, given James' current age, his level of competition and statistics are bound to decline in the future, so the top spot is likely to eventually be replaced by Baylor.
