During the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a total of 506 players suit up for them, dating back to their days in Minneapolis. Some were forgettable, some were serviceable, some were good, and a select few were flat out legendary.
Gene Stump, a 6-foot-2 wing, joined the Lakers for the 1949-50 season. In 23 games with them that season, he averaged 2.7 points and one rebound per game before finishing the year with the Waterloo Hawks.
He had spent the previous two seasons with the Boston Celtics before coming to Minneapolis. Stump’s NBA career ended in 1950 after 26 games late that year with the Hawks.
