Lakers Shrine (very cool stuff)

Check out the tour

http://www.nba.com/lakers/newsnba/11102 ... hrine.html

George Mikan's glasses. Elgin Baylor's game-worn uniform. Jerry West's game-worn shoes. Wilt Chamberlain's passport. Kareem Abdul Jabbar's goggles. Magic Johnson's game-worn Dream Team jersey. Shaquille O'Neal's shoes. All of it autographed.

That's just a tiny introductory sampling of the massive main course we found just under 50 miles south of the Lakers practice facility at David Kohler's Lakers Shrine in Orange County.

Kohler, the president of SCP Auctions ("Important Sports Memorabilia & Cards") and a huge Lakers fan, has spent years putting together what's literally the largest collection of Lakers memorabilia in the world. Last week, Kohler gave us a tour of his Shrine and sat down to describe it and explain how he put it together.

A question that should be asked after seeing this video is why dont the Lakers have an official museum at Staples or somewhere else in LA.

I would have assumed that they do, seems like stupid if they don't (even if they throw the clips in there)... we even have one in our basketball arena @ pitt.
