In this ongoing series, we will take a trip to yesteryear to highlight some Los Angeles Lakers players whom some fans may have forgotten. These players didn’t get the billing that some others enjoyed, but they were very instrumental to the Lakers’ success.

However, for one season, he was with the Los Angeles Lakers, and the power forward played a key role in helping them get to the mountaintop, even if many fans don’t remember him or even know he played for them.
