It felt weird with him in attendance at Shaq's statue unveiling but better late than never.

Baylor and Maravich have more to do with the modern NBA game than most anyone else. Maybe throw the Big O in there too. Each revolutionized the game and challenged the orthodoxy of position. Good to see Baylor get some recognition.

Great addition to our statue collection.

We’ve been statue-ing it up. Eventually the Clippers might get the hint. I don’t want Clipper statues mixer with Laker statues.

I was thinking CP3 or Blake might get a statue a few years ago. I agree with you.

If they ever get those players that deserve statues there should be a border. I think they will get their own arena before then.
