5. Jerry West – First of all anytime you are the logo of the NBA you have to be on this list. West is #2 on the all-time scoring list for the Lakers and till this day he remains the only player to be named a NBA finals MVP on a losing team. How much swag is that? His team lost and they were still like ..”Yea go head and get this MVP cause you’re a beast.” Now that is the personification of a Baller. West greatness as a Laker is solidified when you look at the work he did as GM as well being the architech of some of those championship teams. Without West there is no Kobe or Shaq and this list looks completely different.
