The Los Angeles Lakers stake fair claim to the NBA's first super team. Sports goliath, Wilt Chamberlain was traded to the Lakers, teaming up with Elgin Baylor and Jerry West, giving LAL the moniker of the Association's first "super team."

Today, NBA Legend Jerry West explains what went right and what went wrong for the team that won an NBA title in 1970 vs the New York Knicks. Consisting off all-league superstars, the Lakers were absolutely STACKED from the late 60's until Chamberlain and West joined Baylor in retirement, winning 2 titles. Worth noting, the Los Angeles won their first titles AFTER Russell had hung up his tennis shoes and the Celtics dynasty had officially ended.

In Michael Cooper's Showtime podcast releases and 2-part series from his brand new interview (2-parts) with Jerry West. The architect of the Showtime and Kobe/Shaq LA Lakers, Jerry West explains so much about his life, his hatred for anything green, Celtics fan and, most interesting to me, Jerry West feelings on who is GOAT.

Though West fell short of saying that Bill Russell is the all-time NBA GOAT, he does say that no one won more than Russell and explains, in-detail what made him such an intimidating force.
