Reminder: This Friday The Captain Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Gets His Statue at Staples

[KB-Pau-DH2012]

Shaq should be next... then Kobe.
Congrats to the Cap though I know he is happy about it.

Shaq will get his jersey retired, but he ain't getting a statue before Kobe (he may not get a statue at all). Shaq and Kobe started building Staples Center, but Kobe helped finish it and kept the lights on. Sorry.

Laker wise, Kobe >> Shaq.


Now shoo away fly.

Kobe statue: the playoff game winner when he pulls his jersey over to reveal his heart.

Shaq raised 3 banners.
Kobe raised 2.

I do agree that Kobe probably has the greater Laker legacy though.

Kobe raised 5.

Yup.

[Andrew32]

Yup.

So Gasol also raised two then right?

Anyway Shaq Daddy deserves a statue.
I don't care if it comes before or after the Kobesters.

Shaq is getting his jersey.

Now maybe he should start kiss AEG and Buss' *** a little bit for that statue, because it isn't going to happen by itself.

In the eyes of the Lakers organization, Shaq is at the very best the 5th best Laker behind Kobe and the 3 Lakers who already have their statues in front of Staples (West, Magic, Kareem).


Tell your little buddy to get some knee pads, he's gonna need em if he wants a statue.

You just answered the question on why Kobe will get a statue before Shaq

[GailGoodrich]

Just saw Cap's statue on ESPN. That thing is *****in'.

As for Snaq, I vote he gets nothing until he stop being a crank. And if he doesn't stop, he ends up with a "fat Snaq" statue showing him loafing at the beginning of ever season.

[LAKERMANIA]

I'm okay with Shaq getting one, just as long as it is AFTER Kobe gets one

[LakerRaffy]

Dude...did anyone notice? A.C. Green was pissd bcuz Mr. Legend himself, Jerry West forgot to give him props. The Ironman took off!

[TmacBryant]

Wow! 16'? How tall's Magic's statue again?

Magic and Jordan have a 16 ft statue and Jerry West's is only 8 ft.

[GREATNESS ONE]

Shaq will never get one. He's lucky he's getting his jersey retired. He needs to stop on the dissing of D12 and be te bigger person and I don't mean literally.

Kobe raised 5. If I remember correctly Kobe had a lot to do with the first three. I just don't see how anyone gets all the credit. Shaq had some good teams in Orlando but it wasn't until kobe matured shaq got over the hump. No way does shaq get the lions share of the credit.

[LakerMan24]

Kareem's statue looks great!

I think Kobe will get a statue before Shaq, he's been a Laker his whole career and he's not even retired yet (but his time is coming soon)! The things that Kobe has done for the Lakers, his stats, the championships etc. all prove why he should get his jersey retired and a statue. He's that great!

I like Shaq, but I love Kobe more.

anyone know where i can see the whole thing, i missed it
