It is a custom on Laker Picture Day to get a shot of the starting lineup. However, holdout Wilt Chamberlain was not present for the picture. Happy Hairston, second from left, showed up to have his picture taken but later joined Wilt as a holdout. The other starters, who have signed, are, from left: Jim McMillian, Jerry West and Gail Goodrich. Photo dated: September 14, 1972.
