EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Lakers have three likely Hall of Famers on their roster in Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, but none of them will be in the lineup in the team's exhibition opener Saturday against the Golden State Warriors.

That's just homerism from McMenamin, right?

He's no first balloter or anything but I could see it. I wouldn't vote for him though. 18-9 career averages....only a 4 time all star....no MVPs, never a first-team all nba....

He's arguably the best Spanish player ever.
His Olympic/FIBA success pushes him over the edge.
He'll be in the HOF.
