VS 
One of the most thrilling duells of the first round clashes. The Lakers who won the Championship in 80, 82, 85, 87 and 88, made the Finals 9 times in 11 years.
The regular season went off very average for both teams. The Lakers came in as 4th of the conference placed behind the Jazz Rockets and Suns. The Spurs made the fifth place, 3 spots behind their last years position. Nonetheless both teams are favourites for the 1992 Finals, a small comparison between both teams show up some strengths and weaknesses.
Center
VS
David Robinson / San Antionio7 ' 1 ft
235 lb
Age: 26
Even he just played his third NBA season he turned out as one of the best Centers in the league. Elected to 1991/1992 MVP underlines this estimate. He was the top scorer , best rebounder and shot blocker of the Spurs this season.

Vlade Divac / Los Angeles7 ' 1 ft
260 lb
Age: 24
Divac is the same draft year as Robinson, he turned to a important player in the Lakers defense. Despite he played a solid season his deeds can't come close to Robinsons.

Terry Cummings / San Antonio6 ' 9 ft
235 lb
Age: 31
Cummings the routined hard worker beside Robinson. He was drafted in 1982 by the Clippers as a 2nd overall pick behind James Worthy

. He was the Rookie of the Year in 82/83 but his performances stagnated a little and he couldnt come close to his rookie year anymore.
Some users may still remind him as he entered the Slam Dunk contest in 1992.

AC Green / Los Angeles6 ' 9 ft

Age: 28
Maybe he plays a similar role in the Lakers team as Cummings for the Spurs. He was included to the Lakers team in 1985 and won to titles with them in 87 and 88.
I cant see a real advantage on this position for one of the teams. If i take the season stats Cummings seem to have a small step ahead.

Sean Elliott / San Antonio6 ' 8 ft

Elliott is an important offensive force and three point shooter for the Spurs. In his third season he also did a solid defensive performance and turned out to one of the key players in San Antonios roster.

VS
Willie Anderson / San Antonio6 ' 7 ft
190 lb
Age: 25
Anderson the Shooting Guard , is maybe a little weak point compared to Byron Scott on the Lakers side. He was elected into All Rookie 1st team in 1989 but couldnt come up with solid stats in this season.

Byron Scott / Los Angeles6 ' 4 ft
195 lb
Age: 31
Scott is another part of the mid 80' s Lakers Champion team he established on the Shooting Guard position and turned out to be a real threatt from the 3 point line.
Despite his great career he played the first time in an All Star Team this season. As a 6th man behind Drexler he made 13 points.

VS
Rod Strickland / San Antonio6 ' 3 ft
175 lb
Age: 25
Strickland the playmaker of the Spurs had a bad year in 90/91 because of an injury disease. He came back with a solid performance in 1992, he leads the Spurs in assists and steals.
Despite Strickland is a talented player on his position he wont be able to handle the mismatch to Magic Johnson.

13.1ppg 2.9rpg 6.8apg 1.57spg 0.40bpg
Earvin Magic Johnson / Lakers6 ' 9 ft
255 lb
Age: 32
One of the greatest in NBA history. 5 time NBA Champion with the Lakers, 12 time All Star and 3 time MVP, just to list up some facts. In his 13th season he once again led the Lakers to the playoffs with solid stats and performances. Loosing to the Bulls in the last years finals should be forgotten after this years post season. Magic Johnson is ready to win another title.

Overall:The Lakers are the favourite in this match, they have a deficit in the paint but they compensate that on their fast Guards and tremendous offensive.
