Lakers jersey history No. 33 — Mike Lynn
TL;DR
Mike Lynn, a former UCLA star, played for the Los Angeles Lakers during the 1969-70 NBA season, averaging 2.7 points and 1.5 rebounds. He was later selected by the Buffalo Braves in the expansion draft after one year with the Lakers.
Through the 2024-25 season, the Los Angeles Lakers have had a total of 506 players suit up for them, going back to their days in Minneapolis. Some were forgettable, some were serviceable, some were good and a select few were flat-out legendary.
During the Lakers' 80th season of existence (they were founded back in 1946 as the Detroit Gems in the National Basketball League), LeBron Wire is taking a look at each player who has worn their jersey, whether it has been a purple and gold one or the ones they donned back in the Midwest during their early years.
Mike Lynn grew up in the greater Los Angeles area and starred at Covina High School before moving on to the University of California, Los Angeles. With the Bruins, he won two NCAA championships before he was a fourth-round pick in the 1968 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls.
The 6-foot-7 forward didn't make his NBA debut until the 1969-70 season, and just prior to the start of that campaign, he was traded to the Lakers. He was with the Lakers for one year and averaged 2.7 points and 1.5 rebounds in 9.2 minutes a game that year, and he joined the Buffalo Braves the following season through the expansion draft.
Lynn played a total of two seasons in the NBA and averaged 2.6 points and 1.4 rebounds in 8.7 minutes a game across both seasons.
