Los Angeles Lakers: Power Ranking Top 10 Greatest Moments in Franchise History

With the start of a new NBA season nearly upon us, you have to ponder what new moments, memories will come from the 2010-2011 season for Los Angeles Laker fans. What game, play, event or player will transcend the normal and enter the pantheon of other great Laker moments?

For a NBA franchise that has won 16 titles, been the leagues marquee team for over 30 years, and sent what feels like a football team roster to the NBA Hall of Fame, how do you even consider ranking the team’s greatest moment?
