A Hall of Famer, Baylor spent his entire career with the Lakers.
He was an 11-time All-Star and the 1958-59 NBA Rookie of the Year.
The Lakers retired Baylor’s No. 22 jersey on Nov. 3, 1983, and there is a statue of him at Staples Center.

One of the greatest players of his time, Baylor will truly be missed.
