"I think that brings you to 26 on a 12 man roster! "
I meant that the next thirteen (not even the Lakers best players) would be good enough to win a title or two, not that they should be included on an all time team.
I think a better exercise would be to choose the winner of a three team play off, with the '72 team playing the winner on the '85 or '87 roster and the 2001 team. I give the 72' squad the bye due to their better regular season record. The Mikan teams are from too long ago and while you could throw in the '80 or '82 team it would be too weird to have Jabbar face Jabbar, etc.
On the other hand I guess you could have '82 face 2001, and '72 face '85/'87, with the winners facing off for the all time best team honors.
