So the Shaq statue will be hanging some place at Staples... that would be a gruesome death if someone was underneathe it during a major earthquake

This is happen right after Shaq declares Randle is his favourite Laker atm.

While I mostly blame him to the 2000s dynasty imploding... Shaq deserves it... I wish they went with his reaction after that alley oop from kobe vs. the blazers in that amazing comeback...

That's a good move... It was a travesty they waited so long on Kap... Shaq deserves the honor, best not to wait on it.

So classic. That's probably my favorite moment as a Laker fan of all time. Down 15, dream season going up in smoke, yelling "MVP my ass" at the TV...cue miraculous comeback, capped by the signature play of his career.

Glad he will get one. After him Kobe should be the last one to get one.

When Shaq goes into the HOF, he'll be going in as a Laker.
