League Search Page > NBA > Los Angeles Lakers > Roster & Statistics

The 1969–70 Los Angeles Lakers were powered by Jerry West’s elite scoring and playmaking, with Wilt Chamberlain providing dominant rebounding, interior defence, and efficient scoring around the basket. Elgin Baylor remained a major offensive contributor while also supporting the rebounding effort, and Happy Hairston added strength on the boards. The Lakers combined star-driven offense with outstanding interior play, relying on their veteran core to carry the team at both ends of the floor.
