Best all-time Laker?

- Best, as in most impact on the floor, would have to be between Jabbar and Shaq, with Magic close behind. Too close to call IMO.

Favorite Laker coach of all-time?

Riley.

Least favorite coach of all-time?

Magic (he shouldn't have coached).

Sunderland or Chick? (not which one is/was better, which one would you rather have now and in the future)

- Since the heart of all great play-by-play died with Chick, I'd have to say that guy who does the Sonics' play-by-play. Forget his name.
