My Take
Elden Campbell is the kind of NBA big man I have a soft spot for: a 211cm Los Angeles native who came home to anchor the Lakers' frontline. From his Clemson days, where he earned honorable-mention All-American honors in 1990, through a fifteen-year pro career from 1990 to 2005, he was the unglamorous power forward and center who did the heavy work near the basket. He never chased the spotlight, which is exactly why I rate him. Learning that he passed away in December 2025 lands heavily; players like Campbell are the connective tissue of a franchise's history, even if the headlines went to others.
