    If the Lakers had a statue for every legendary player there would be no room, doubt shaq gets one. I think Kobe will though.

    i think its ludicrous and appalling that anybody would say Shaq shouldnt get a statue. In the history of the NBA only 5 teams have accomplished a 3peat,
    1952–54 Minneapolis Lakers, 1959–66 Boston Celtics (Eight Championships), 1991–93 Chicago Bulls, 1996–98 Chicago Bulls, 2000–02 Los Angeles Lakers

    Of those teams look at the teams best players

    1952–54 Minneapolis Lakers - George Mikan - Has a statue at Target Center

    1959-66 Boston Celtics - Bill Russell - Getting a statue next year (http://radioboston.wbur.org/2012/05/...russell-statue)

    1991-93 & 96-98 Bulls - Jordan - Has a statue at United Center

    Now i think its pretty stupid that somebody would argue against Shaq having a statue. If Kobe was going to get one then i think Shaq deserves to be in there before Kobe does, Laker fans use Kobes championships as their arguments substance all the time so therefore its obvious championships are what they value most, no? So therefore the players who as the leader win championships should be remember and therefore Shaq 3> has a better case than Kobe 2. Three-peats are ridiculous impressive, they never happen, it takes special players to win them as you can see by the small list ( Mikan,Russell,Jordan,Shaq)


    EDIT: Not saying that Kobe dosnt deserve one BTW. Just that Shaq deserves it more.

    its kinda funny how minneapolis still holds onto a franchise/player that hasnt been there for 50 years

    mikan should have a statue outside staples. hes part of laker history. where a team plays doesnt matter. its the name and players that do.

    Tell that to the Seattle Supersonics, ask them how their recent trip to the NBA finals went.

    I know, i was just saying based on the facts of actual performance and what should happen Shaq's more deserving than most. I personally dont think he will and i posted on the first page saying he probably wont.

    A similar example would be if Lebron gets a statue in Cleveland.
    Uh no that would be Shaq getting a statue in Orlando.

    If you believe that both players should get a statue, then Shaq's should naturally be first. It's a timing matter. Shaq is older, retired first, jersey retired first and ended his time as a laker first. It's just a matter of chronological order.

    To be honest, Kareem should have had one before Magic.
