I'm really glad that Kareem is getting a statue outside Staples. I know he's had some tense moments with the organization, but he most definitely deserves it.

On a tangential note, I wonder who the first Clipper will be to get a statue.

Do you happen to be friends with tarktheshark?

I hope the Kareem statue is made to the same scale as the Magic statue.

The Clippers have porcelain statues at Staples already.

^ LOL...

I just hope Kareem enjoys the honor, instead of getting caught up in who got one first and all of that.

pretty awkward the way it went down, and it was a good point they brought up that the Lakers don't own STAPLES even though they are the most popular tenant, it's AEG's building.

Hey, at least he got Kareem's name right. That is a misspelling waiting to happen...

It's good that he got it but I'm not quite thrilled after the tantrum he threw to try and promote his movie last year.

I kinda wish they hold off giving Kareem is statue .. His lack humbleness is dustrubing.

No. A few requirments he failed to meet.
A.retire as a laker
B.Leave the lakers on good terms
C. Don't not play for the Celtics.

No way in heck. His head would explode.

I doubt it. Kobe gets a statue before Shaq that's for sure.

Kobe will get his #8 and # 24 statues first before Shaq.
