[sea manup]

Kobe'e statue should be a mechanical one that just pump fakes 24/7

roy flailed his arms like no tomorrow

Overrated.

 

[Figured it out]

a lot of emphasis is being put on utah but i think they can still catch houston.

I honestly prefer we get the 8 seed. I'm fairly confident we will run through San Antonio and I don't want To see OKC first Round. Plus I think OKC vs Houston would be a good first round match up. I just hope we make it.

 

[mjgreatxii]

It's a stretch i know, but I honestly think Houston could upset them if things go absolutely right

Question: for sure Kobe gets his statue...but aren't the concourses outside staples starting to fill up? Magic, Kareem, gretz, chick, DLH...am I missing any?

 

[lacrimestopper]

kobes statue should be him dunking on nash or dwight

 

[kobeoverbron]

LOL @ deezy mayne! LOLOL

eh, kobe had 2-3 defenders. pushing one is no biggie. heck, remember MJ. right in the middle. LOL

I'm hoping there will be a Shaq statue, but I could understand if it doesn't come to pass.

 

[superfly925]

I really don't think Shaq will get a statue, Mamba will though..

The Lakers have to put one up for Shaq. I don't think you guys realize just how DOMINATE this man was. People will be talking about him decades from now. He was truly a man against boys.

This will never be documented or said in public, but the NBA made a lot of rules against Shaq being even more dominate than he already was.

-They made a height/weight ratio limits on players
-Officiating was totally different for Shaq. Players got away with a lot of hard fouls against him. Dude got beat up every night and still put up 27 and 12 a night.

This only seems like very minimal stuff, but they made a HELL of a difference. He's def the closets thing we'll ever see to a modern day Wilt Chamberlain. If they let him get any bigger and stronger and called ALL the fouls he got. Granted he was a terrible free throw shooter, but the Lakers would've been in the bonus very early on in every quarter. All of this would've made his stat line even more impressive.

The sad thing is that the closets thing we have to a Shaq now is Dwight, and dude is softer than Charmin toilet paper. What a poor excuse for a "big man". Dude can't even do a simple drop step

EDIT: I think you guys are wild for thinking Lakers can take on San Antonio This isn't the 2011 Spurs and you guys aren't the Grizzles. You don't have the wing defenders, bigs to pound it in the paint or the quick guards to get in Memphis' back court.

You're better off playing OKC honestly. You guys NEED that 7th seed or try to match up against the Clippers.

I think shaq would deserve one too, but the way his career played out I'm not sure. His best most dominant amazing years were as a laker, but IMO the fact that he bounced around after being traded hurts him. Aside from Kareem, the statue guys were lifelong lakers, and Kareem played most of his career in la and won rings here. Of course this is all IMO, and ill be happy if he does get one. Either the "dunkman" or him running out pointing towards the bench after the game 7 Portland oop

We need a statue of D-Fish's 0.4 shot.

Clippers get their first 50 win season this year. Congrats to them.

Lakers have 32 such seasons.

Same market.


Great owner
Clippers owner.


Maybe they can hang like a bumper sticker inside Staples or something. Maybe an 8x10 near the ladies room.

 

[prokid404]

his statue needs to have 2-3 defenders guarding him. people don't realize
how hard Kobe had to work, especially back then.

I agree. I think it should be this game winner against Phoenix in 06

 

[flyerthandelta]

Gotta point. @kobeoverbron

 

[pmatic]

Kobe doing the Gladiator pose.

[CHAOSE57]

Clippers should move out of Staples man. I don't want any red/blue mixed in with the purple and gold

The Clippers organization isn't changing after this season. Yeah, they have a nice team and they won 50 games, but that team isn't winning anything anytime soon. I feel bad for CP3 too, because he's a damn great PG and he deserves a better shot at winning a championship.

The Clippers are still owned by Rod Sterling and when they play in the Staples Center, they just put the lights on. Nothing's really changed
