Los Angeles Lakers: Ranking the best title-winning second stars in team history

Every title-winning team in NBA history did not just have a superstar on the team that led the way, but likely had a great supporting cast as well. In most cases, these title-winning teams have a second superstar that can be just as important as the team’s best player.

This should be relatively fresh in basketball fans’ minds considering that Scottie Pippen, who is arguably the greatest second superstar in NBA history, is being highlighted extensively in ESPN’s ongoing documentary, “The Last Dance”.

In winning 16 championships, the Los Angeles Lakers have had some Hall of Famer suit up in the purple and gold and take on the role of being the second superstar.
