The Los Angeles Lakers have a long line of successful and dominant big man who have played for the franchise, beginning of course with George Mikan, who starred for the team during their time in Minneapolis.
There has also been Wilt Chamerblain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O’Neal, Pau Gasol and now Anthony Davis is carrying the proverbial torch. Like with Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar and Gasol, the Lakers acquired Davis via trade.
Davis joined forces with good friend LeBron James, and together arguably one of the NBA’s best duos led the Lakers to the best record in the Western Conference before the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic brought the league to a grinding halt.
