Phil Jackson Et Kobe Bryant Présents Pour Inaugurer La Statue Du Shaq

... son décès, après une visite d’une heure sur son lit d’hôpital, le MVP 2000 lui avait confié qu’il voulait rentrer dans la mémoire collective comme un Laker. « Mon père avait été énormément touché », se souvient Jeannie Buss. « J’ai vécu des millions de bons moments avec les Buss et un seul mauvais. Donc je ne me souviens que des bons », déclarait récemment le Shaq , qui a donc oublié ses critiques de la saison 2003/2004 et ses sorties pleines d’aigreur de 2005. Le Shaq touché par le geste. De l’eau a coulé sous les ponts et il n’y a que Mitch Kupchak avec qui il ne se soit jamais réconcilié. Vendredi, avant la réception des Wolves, la franchise dans laquelle il a passé huit saisons lui rend le plus beau des hommages. Phil Jackson, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, Gary Payton, Devean George et Brian Cook seront présents lors de la cérémonie qui inaugure la statue du triple MVP des Finals en train de martyriser un cercle. Le Shaq en a déjà des frissons. « Je n’aurais jamais ...

... nemico – Kobe Bryant: “Per niente al mondo avrei perso  l’occasione di poterlo ringraziare un’ennesima volta e riconoscergli tutto il merito che ha avuto e continua ad avere per i Lakers come organizzazione, per la citta di Los Angeles e anche per me stesso”. La storia del rapporto tra i due è ben documentata, soprattutto negli anni trascorsi assieme indossando la maglia gialloviola ma Bryant ha svelato anche dettagli del loro primo incontro (“io avevo solo 16 anni, mi ricordo che la sua mano era grande come tutto il mio braccio”) e dell’ultimo, avvenuto via Facetime proprio per celebrare la notizia che Shaq sarebbe stato titolare di una statua fuori dallo Staples Center: “La nostra casa che io ho aiutato a costruire [come si dice tradizionalmente di Babe Ruth e del vecchio Yankee Stadium, ndr]. Mi ricordo un dirigente di AEG – l’azienda proprietaria dello Staples – che alla cerimonia di inaugurazione, nel 2000, venne a dirmi che un giorno avrei avuto ...

Kobe Bryant Opens Up About His Current Relationship With Shaq

... as a player and as a champion," Bryant told the Times by phone this week , "[t]here is absolutely no way in the world I would miss an opportunity to talk about him and thank him and to acknowledge everything that he’s done for not only this organization and the city, but for me personally.". From there Kobe made sure to give a comment on Shaq's Hall of Fame speech , where the Big Aristotle, or whatever nickname you want to call him, said in a somewhat joking manner that Kobe pushed him to be dealt to the Miami Heat. “I guess by default maybe that’s true,” Bryant said. “My mind was going someplace else, understanding that Shaq was going to stay… he opened the window first. Once he demanded the trade… that put a halt to my free agency because the Lakers were not going to lose Shaq and me in the same year.”. Kobe also made sure to share what he's learned from Shaq because time heals all wounds, and because you can't fight change no matter how unrecognizable the world becomes. "I’ve learned so much from him," Bryant said. "He’s extremely, extremely good ...

Walton On Ingram's Improvement, Shaq Memories

... game. “I told him at halftime, ‘It sucks for you that you have to sit out too, because you’re actually out there playing your tail off,’” Walton said. “‘But we’re gonna continue to preach what we do as a team, and you’re part of that first unit out there. That’s part of your responsibilities: making sure everyone’s ready to play.’. “I thought he was really good last night. It’s unfair that it happened to him with the way that he’s playing, but I thought it was important to keep the message that this is about team first and individuals second.”. Walton said that the Lakers — who fell by just five against the defending-champion Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday — quickly fell behind the Clippers because they came out as if they had won the Cleveland game. “Maybe that’s partially one me, because after the Cavs game I told them I was really proud of the way they played,” Walton said. “Maybe that (caused them to) let up a little bit on their hunger ...

A Statute Of Limitations For Staples Center Statues

And second, what kind of insurance premiums did AEG pay as potential compensation for pedestrians who might be taken out if this Shaq thing becomes unhinged during the next L. A. earthquake. • L. A.’s modest little Monument Park is beginning to look like a Jerry Buss decadent yard sale. It’s our mashup of Easter Island, Madame Tussauds’ Sports Mannequin Challenge and Ripley’s Believe What You Want as far as a tourist attraction goes. And where it goes from here, time and space apparently aren’t an issue. It’s a never-ending process to squeeze another chiseled beauty in and around Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, Chick Hearn, Wayne Gretzky, Luc Robitaille, Oscar De La Hoya — did we miss anyone important? And who, really, is that important. • So who’s got next. Sir Kobe Bryant, of course. Even before they get around to Elgin Baylor and/or Wilt ...

Shaq Has ‘great Emotions’ Before Lakers Unveil Statue

... West), a Hall of Fame center (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and former teammates (Kobe Bryant, Derek Fisher, Rick Fox, Gary Payton, Devean George, Brian Cook) — will witness the unveiling of O’Neal’s statue, which will be suspended 10 feet above the ground at Star Plaza. They will see a statue of a towering big man sharing the same space with other Lakers luminaries, including a dazzling point guard (Magic Johnson), a late colorful announcer (Chick Hearn), an accomplished player and executive known as Mr. Clutch (West) and another dominant center that relied on a skyhook (Abdul-Jabbar). “I never thought I’d get a statue. There’s a lot of Lakers greats who deserve a statue,” O’Neal said. “So when they put my name in there, I thought it was awesome. I have great emotions. I want to thank the Buss family and the Lakers organization.”. The statue “summed up perfectly the power that he played with,” as Fox said. With O’Neal collecting a regular-season MVP and three Finals MVPs since the Lakers acquired him as a free agent in 1996, Fisher observed “there’s really no debate on what type of things should happen” in the Lakers’ ...

Kobe Thrilled For Shaq

... statue the Lakers planned to unveil of the former superstar outside of Staples Center. O’Neal hardly considered the honor a slam dunk, even if the statue showed him throwing one down. - The Orange County Register. Shaq's teammates recall practice pranks, trying to defend him: His brute force intimidated anyone who tried to defend him, and his pranks left nearly everyone roaring with laughter. A dominant big man and a life-long jokester, Shaquille O’Neal brought those traits to every stop during his 19-year NBA career, which included an eight-year run with the Lakers (1996-2004) that yielded too many dunks and jokes to count. - The Orange County Register. Lakers' Luke Walton strives to keep players focused as season winds down: Even when the Lakers’ seasons ended in championship parades, this part of the NBA schedule seemed pointless, too.
