Elgin Baylor, former Lakers star, selling a lifetime of memories

Baylor rarely owned the spotlight here, but Friday, he will command it in startling fashion.  

He’ll be selling everything it shines upon.

You want to buy his 1971-72 NBA championship ring, the only lasting memento of his only Lakers title? It will cost you at least $40,000.

How about his 1959 All-Star game co-MVP trophy, the only time he earned the highest honor in the league’s most prestigious game? The bidding starts at $10,000.

Through Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, beginning Friday at 10 a.m., Baylor is selling 358 pieces of personal memorabilia, including his rings, his plaques and his bowling shoes.
