The Los Angeles Lakers are a team with a long history, with the Lakers making 56 playoffs, 31 Western Conference championships, and 16 championships, second only to the Boston Celtics 17 times. The Lakers also have a lot of great players in the history of the Lakers, including George McCann, Chamberlain, Magic Johnson, "Skyhook" Abdul-Jabbar, O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, etc., but today we don't talk about these great superstars.
When it comes to the Lakers' "cornerstone", the first thing I think of is the Lakers' "Saqi Stone" - Robert Thackeray, Thackeray was the last to be selected by the Lakers in the 2012 draft and started his NBA career. Thackeray is 2.13 meters tall and plays in the center position. In the Lakers, Thackeray didn't have many chances to play, but he was always the most passionate person at the end of the bench.
Thackeray has spent all of his career with the Lakers so far, averaging 4.2 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, and Thackeray also has many fans of his own, and won the title of "Saji Stone". Even if there aren't many opportunities to play, Thackeray will always be such a hard-working player.
The Lakers' last player who is comparable to Thackeray, I don't know if everyone remembers? His name is D.J. Mbenga, Mbenga entered the NBA in 2004 and played for the Mavericks and Warriors, in 2008, Mbenga joined the Lakers, and like Thackeray, Mbenga is also a player at the end of the bench, and the same Mbenga is also 2.13 meters tall, and the position is the same as Thackeray. The difference is that Mbenga's Lakers team is the peak of the Lakers, and Mbenga has won the NBA championship twice with the Lakers.
Who is the strongest "cornerstone" of the Lakers? Mbenga won the honor and Thackeray won the stats. The NBA doesn't just need superstars, it needs players like that as well.
