League Search Page > NBA > Los Angeles Lakers > Roster & Statistics
The 1966–67 Los Angeles Lakers were driven by the high-scoring tandem of Jerry West and Elgin Baylor, who carried the offensive load while also serving as the team’s primary playmakers. Darrall Imhoff provided interior rebounding and efficient scoring, and Archie Clark added valuable secondary offense from the backcourt. The Lakers relied on balanced scoring, strong ball movement, and veteran leadership, though their production was concentrated around their star backcourt and frontcourt duo.
