I think it should be located outside the Staples Center.

What do you guys think?

I think you should ask Kareem and Magic considering they each have 5 championships, 3 x MVP while in Laker uniforms (more for Kareem in total) and Kareem is the all time scorer in NBA history.

If they were alive, I think Mikan, Chamberlin and a few others should be consulted as well.

If you had to draft Laker players in their prime to play on a team....Kobe may not be in the top 3.
(By Laker players I mean guys that played significant years for the team)

No offense meant by this but what year did you start really following the Lakers?

Well i'm only 18 years old so not that long and I know Wilt's best years were with the sixers. So I think a statue of Wilt should be where he scored 100 points at even though that stadium is no longer there. Idk I just think Kobe deserves it more because he's been a laker his whole career unlike KAJ.

Haha, wow good call MG

Michael St Paul, here in Chicago we give statues to a lot of people, heck Carlton Fisk has one at Comiskey and his best years were in Boston, so by Chicago standards, yes he deserves a statue. But so would about 30 other LAL players

I think Joe Paterno's statue can be had for cheap on EBay.
