Single Playoffs Total

In this page you can find the top 50 players for total points in single Playoff editions in Lakers history. The list includes both the Minneapolis Lakers and the Los Angeles Lakers players.

Magic Johnson is the top playoff assister in NBA history so it's no surprise that 11 of his 13 seasons are in the top 50 in Lakers history. And this includes the first 9 spots of the list. His two playoff participations that didn't make it are 1981 (3 games, 21 ast, 7.0 apg) and 1996 (4 games, 26 ast, 6.5 apg). Also interesting to note is that the first 4 spots here are also the 4 best all-time in the NBA.

Kobe Bryant, the top scorer in Lakers history, appears 7 times in this top 50 list. Jerry West does it 6 times. Pau Gasol is the other 2011-12 Laker on the list.
