Overall, there will never be anything like the Shaq era ever again. This may be getting away from the discussion here (because it doesn't make him any better of a Laker than Magic or Kareem), but there will never be another player that blurred the boundaries between basketball and entertainment ever again.

Yeah, Kazaam, Steel, and Shaq's albums sucked for the most part. And yeah, because they sucked, that's the main reason players don't have those same opportunities.

But it was a wild thing to see Shaq - the face of your team - in the movies and in the record store. Nothing will quite match that. Laker fandom extended beyond the court for that era.

Then he cut all that out (or the opportunities dried up on him), and not long after, the championships came in full swing.

One-of-a-kind memories

but but.... thunderstruck

i agree though

 

[licensed to ball]

Rck, slowly and subtly making himself a regular in our thread... I see you boi I see you

 

[senorroboto2k5]

Ugh, Thunderstruck

I know you probably know this but...

Kazaam and Steel were big-budget nationwide theatrical releases, full promo and everything. So it was like you'd be watching TV and here comes Shaq, who recently signed with the Lakers and turned the franchise back around and made them relevant, on your TV as a movie star. Wild

I came across an old 90s clip of Conan O'Brien's "In the year 2000" bit. "In the year 2000... the NBA lockout will end and the world will rejoice. Not because that means basketball is back, but because Shaquille O'Neal will no longer have time to make lame movies."

No love for Mark Madsen? Wow.

We gonna make you apart of the fam homie I see you in here constantly sac town ain't doing it well gracefully bless you in

 

[sea manup]

but seriously does anyone know of anyone who has actually watched thunderstruck?

 

[moiety]

Just picked up my tix and .. I need to laminate this one and the Finals Game 7 one before they get all messed up. Anyone else collect ALL of their tickets? Whether it be sporting events, concerts, comedy shows, etc.orrr am I just a weirdo

So hyped for the game, HUGE in terms of trying to make the Playoffs.. especially against the squad right on our tail. Shaq's retirement ceremony should be amazing, I've never been apart of one. Has anybody else?

With Phil speaking, I almost feel the 'We Want Phil' chants are inevitable when he does. I'll definitely partake

 

[Deleted member 38182]

^I collect all my tix too

My Giants NLCS Game 7 tix got absolutely wrecked in the rain during the game |I

I used to collect movie ticket stubs.... had like an inch thick stack going.

 

[sea manup]

when i go to lakers games i always buy my tickets online and print out the barcode for them to scan at the gate, is there anyway to get the actual ticket when doing this?

Dave McMenamin said he's talked about it with a few people in the organization, and that's the feeling.

that 2000 season 

since then only lebron and tmac have had a better season in terms of PER

that shoe part is misleading though, no way a size 22 is twice as long as a 15

With KD? Nah, wanted to at least see some of it though. Off topic though.

 

[darthska]

Hey, so who is y'all's worst Lakers? This should provide some answers with a little more variety then the favorite Lakers lists.

Kwame
Rush
Smush
Cook
Walton; I know he's kind of a mascot, but I was never a fan

 

[CP1708]

Brian Cook. Hands. Down.

 

[darthska]

Damn. Good call. *edited*
