Enigmatic controversial dominant onew punch ever created never to be duplicated uh when you you say Kobe you say Shaq when you say Shaq you say Kobe and if I had one wish I wish we would be talking to him right now so uh congratulations to him and his family
Especially his mom and his dad and his two sisters I want to say congratulations to the Lakers organization uh and he did it and you know who else I got to thank Jerry West because Jerry West put this thing together lot of people don’t talk about
It like if I don’t if I don’t go there he don’t trade vat and it’s a possibility he don’t even get copy so Mr West wherever you are thank you for helping me win my first three championships you don’t get mentioned a lot either but you put this thing
Together sir and I remember when you called me in first and you had me look up at the routers and say Shaq I know you’re doing movies and you’re doing rap but if you do this thing correctly your name will be up there can I ask question
Hold on my name’s up there my statue is in the front Kobe’s name up there twice his statue is in the front a lot of people on that stage but you did this Mr West thank you so you know he he told you I got this guy you’ve seen a lot of
Guys he played with Penny Hardway at that time what was the day that you looked and said he is that guy well I used to test him a lot be like I need 40 he get it I need 50 he get it but before that before so like listen we all been

absolute waste of money and resources!
😥
That statue needs some justice
I dont like this statue…shouldve been the fade away or fist pump
As a Warriors fan, I love that Shaq gave Jerry West his flowers too. That man is a basketball savant, he not only made the Lakers dominant like they were in the 2000s, but he also helped turn my favorite team around. Kobe absolutely deserved this, and we all wish he was here to talk to you as well
My best friend and brother died of brain cancer a year to the day after Kobe died. He was a huge Laker fan and Kobe fan. I remember us talking when we found out the news about Kobe. We thought it was a Twitter hoax at first until major news outlets reported it. The fact that his daughter was with him when it happened made it even more tragic. Then to have my brother die a year later on the anniversary of Kobe’s death makes them forever linked in my mind. And let us not forget the other individuals that died that day on the helicopter with Kobe. This was a well deserved honor for Kobe and I’m glad to see Shaq spreading love for Kobe after all they went through. RIP to all of those that died that day.
Ppl are trippin tbh that’s a great statue. He’s pointing to heaven.. where you can find Kobe .. if you need him. I like it.
Whatch out they will try to steal his statue next and destroy it
100 the LOGO West very under appreciated the guy is an all time great/player and executive, give him his praise!! He’s the first to discover KOBE!🙏
🙏🏼 KOBE WAS THE WORST LOSS IN MY LIFE TIME. 🙏🏼
Shaq and Kobe the Best duo ever
💜💛
Rest in paradise Gigi and Kobe 💜💛💜💛
3 statues? Lol…Beyond ridiculous!! The way people make Kobe out to be some sort of God is sickening!!! Have people forgotten about the affair he had with the young lady in Colorado?
LAKERS FOR LIFE!!!✊🏽✅
Imagine the Kobe and Shaq podcast that could have been, would have been legendary. RIP Kobe
Thank u Shaq, happy to see Pam and joe Bryant be recognized
Every morning, I look at the picture of Kobe that is on my wall. This picture says, "It's a constant quest to try to be better today than you were yesterday and better tomorrow than you were the day before." Those words carry me through the day as I work and effect how I treat people. They have served me pretty good!
Black Mamba. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just love Shaq more and more each day❤
Suggestions: clear your throat and speak up so people can hear you!
