Los Angeles Lakers: Ranking the 4 greatest duos of all-time

Ranking the four greatest duos in Los Angeles Lakers team history

The comparisons were likely to come eventually as LeBron James and Anthony Davis rekindled memories of Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant are how similar they have been especially during this current playoff run as they have an opportunity to be mentioned among the greatest Los Angeles Lakers duos.

Shaq and Kobe have already accomplished numerous accolades and have multiple championships under their belts while AD and LeBron are on the brink of winning their first title for the Lakers. They have some big shoes to fill as AD and LeBron are capable of leaving their own legacy in Laker uniforms. They will have to dominate the league for at least the next couple of seasons and win multiple titles as Kobe and Shaq won three consecutive.

Championships will be the ultimate measure of success and gauge just how great they actually were, so AD and King James still have their work cut out. The comparisons between Shaq and AD are that both are strong, elite defenders who can dominate in the paint with the ability to take over games while Kobe and LeBron are hard-working students of the game with high basketball IQ’s while possessing an aura of greatness while showing no mercy against their opponents as the “Black Mamba” and “King James”.

However, these are only two of the great dynamic duos in the Lakers’ illustrious history. It’s only fair that we also mention Magic and Kareem along with Wilt Chamberlain and Jerry West in this discussion. Here is a comprehensive look into the four greatest Los Angeles Lakers duos of all-time.
