1. Kobe Bryant (11)
It should not come as a surprise that Kobe Bryant was No.1 on the list. He spent 20 seasons in Los Angeles. He led the Lakers to seven NBA Finals, winning five of those matchups and being selected as the Finals MVP two times.
He is arguably one of the greatest players to not only play for the Laker franchise but to play in the NBA.
Bryant was drafted in 1996 to the Charlotte Hornets and traded that same night to the Lakers. His first season as a Laker was not that great, he only averaged 7.6 points a game. But that was the only season Bryant would ever average single digits in points again.
He finished his career averaging 25 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.7 assists. He was the scoring leader for the 2005-06 and 2006-07 seasons.
Bryant was a threat to every defender tasked with guarding him. He could shoot a three with ease or split through defenders to get a layup.
He embodied everything it meant to be a great basketball player. Bryant was almost always the top player at his position and he was acknowledged for that by being selected to the All-NBA First-Team 11 times.
