"Rings as the man" is a faux category. It's not even a real category, yet people throw it out as a statistical category. Does anyone outside of ISH and similar sites comprised of a tiny fraction of hardcore elitist fans care about this? This is a rhetorical question. No one does. Rings are rings. Walk into the local sports bar tonight and ask people how many rings Kobe, or for that matter Shaq or Magic or Kareem have. 5, 4, 5 and 6. It's hilarious how elitist fans obsess over a fictional category that is based on subjective factors and is irrelevant.

Kobe will go down with Magic as the two most beloved sports figures in LA, period. And not just basketball. Magic Johnson is still a GOD in LA, and Kobe has already reached that status.
Shaq could have been there, but he made his own bed.
You don't curse out the owner and get a statue outside of Staples.
Shaq has actually been very complimentary of the Lakers franchise and Kobe Bryant in recent years. I think he realizes how good he had it in LA, and how different the franchise is from the rest of the ones he played on. You can just tell that he would have done things differently if he could go back in time...
This...
- It's crazy hearing posters opinions about all things Lakers (Kobe , Shaq , 3 peat , repeat etc)...especially when one of the more popular Mods here (who happens to be a Shaq stan) was trying to tell me how LA Fans acted during the 2000 - 20004 seasons???
He is from Buffallo NY...and never been outta the state.....???.....so basically a Canadian is trying to tell a Cali agent how we thought of the kobe Shaq Lakers.....
- Funny part is he thought the Sacremento Bee was in LA...
- L.A. Lakers = the greatest franchise in NBA History....sets the tone for the basketball world......Greatest most knowlegable fans in the world.
your welcome.

just here to remind you all that I have a clear agenda. I don't like Kobe so it doesn't matter what the topic is as long as I can get that point across.
If kobe fans dont like that fact? i dont care It is what is...

Re: Shaq Statue Before Kobe's?
IMO there are 4 people who deserve a statue outside staples.
Magic
West
Kobe
Chick Hearn
Kareem and Shaq did alot for the franchise and the Lakers wouldn't be the Lakers without their all star big men but the 4 men above were Lakers for their whole career and that is what I think earns them a statue. If the lakers start building statues for all their franchise players then pretty soon there will be no room.
Why isn't a retired jersey good enough for Kareem and Shaq?

This is just plain false. I see you routinely pull shit out of your ass about Lakers fans.

That is a very blatant lie, obviously you don't live in L.A.
We had a brief rift with Shaq but all is forgiven now.......and unlike Kareem, Shaq is a VERY nice person and has always done a ton of things for the community.
