Do you think Shaq will get a statue?

I think career wise he's arguably deserving and the most obvious choice would be for the Lakers to commission it but do you think they will? and do you think they should? and if not them who?

Nah, it'd be too big.

But really, Lakers are putting up a Kobe statue before a Shaq statue.

Kind of off-topic, but that Wilt Chamberlain statue is EPIC!

No way. I love Shaq, but if anyone's statue should be in front of Staples it's Jerry Buss.

There's statues for Magic, Kareem, West, De la Hoya and Gretzky outside Staples so I'd think Jerry Buss is next and Kobe, Shaq to follow but they'll wait for his hall of fame enshrinement before building a statue.

They could do a dual Kobe Shaq one statue but the ego in both would prolly take that as a diss more than reverence

That Magic Jihnson statue is terrible.

Kobe lobbing to Shaq like the 2000 WCFs would be awesome, but as said, I doubt they would be willing to share a statue and Kobe would definitely (and understandably) get one first. Shaq deserves one there though.

Why doesn't Boston have statues of Russell and Bird?

He will, it will a statue of Kobe dunking over Shaq.

Where?

The cost of forcing your way out of city after city in your career is that you don't belong to or epitomize any city. In fact most of them feel like you betrayed them, sold them out. So the answer is...where?

No. Lakers have way too many legends. If you make one for him you ought to make one for the 10 others.

Couldn't Magic's have been designed better?

I doubt it. Kobe, and Buss will though. They will have too many statues. Just curious, What's gonna happen to those statues when Staples gets too old and the Lakers get a new arena??

Like others have mentioned, what the hell is wrong with Magic's face?

Who is this? Magic looks younger now than in that statue.

Yeah that is pretty bad. Reminds me of Deion Sanders Hall of Fame bust which was off. It looks like more like Troy Aikman.

Aside from the Lakers who already have statues who are these "10 others"? Did any of them lead the Lakers to 3 straight championships or were the best player on the Lakers for 8 straight years?

If Shaq had accomplished that for any other team in the league (aside from the celtics perhaps) he'd get a statue. It's just that the Lakers have had a lot of other legends too.

Well if he wants a gold plated one might as well rob Fort Knox.
