[BatManu20]

Ol' #34 going up in the rafters tonight. Least they can do for him after bringing them 3 ships.

Daddy:::I've told the story many times twixt here at the Sun's Board, but, I'll do it again in honor of this evening:::After ringing Vs. Indiana I of course was extremely thrilled. I still remember moving to get out of the Lazy Boy when I saw Daddy in the immediate aftermath as he searched for his people behind the restraining ropes. The look on his face. The anquish, the unrelenting stress. I just leaned on back. A sobering moment. They (Media) was comin' for him. Gonna do him dirt. Rub his nose in his own makings. Kobe still had time, but, Shaq was out of it. I cringe at thought of what they had in store for him.

They'd destroyed West & Chamberlain. But, they didn't destroy Daddy. No in' way.

It will be good to see Shaq getting some appreciation from the LAL fans. All the Shaq vs Kobe bull has marred his accomplishments there to such an insane degree. The hatred of Shaq is so pathological among certain laker fans that they can't even mention one positive sentence about him without following it with three sentences of qualifiers and negativity

[AaronY]

It's almost like certain Laker fans resent Shaq for succeeding in LA

[ambchang]

The greatest Laker since Magic ... easily.

Well deserved.

Kobe's salty he didn't get that Finals MVP haha. Look at that mamba stare. And Shaq looking at it like a boss.

[Clipper Nation]

Kirby will be in complete " -my-teammates" ballhog mode tonight out of pure spite for Shaq...

Your boys can sit across the hall and just take root. You help keep expenses down and make it possible to afford Mychal Thompson, Robert Horry, Glenn Rice, et al.

& you never intrude.

Let me say this he and Phil led us back to the promised land and I am forever grateful.
He deserves this day so ill save the rest for another time
And tplenty of Lakers fans love Shaq some still resent Kobe for running him off ...

[Latarian Milton]

Well deserved for the 2nd greatest Laker of all-time behind Magic.

KAJ?

KAJ?

I dock KAJ slight points since he played the majority of his prime in Milwaukee. He's definitely the 3rd GLOAT, though.

[crc21209]

So is Kobe gonna interrupt the ceremony right in the middle of it or what?

How does that make sense? Shaq came from Orlando and KAreem played more seasons in L.A. ...
Also Jerry West says o ... Elgin too.

Since when do jersey retirement ceremonies get aired on TNT during the halftime show?

It better.. but knowing Stern it'll probably just get mentioned in passing on ESPN during the highlight.

Who gives a . I'll give you all our MVPs, retired jersey's, banners, numbers, wampum, what not. The whole in' kit & kaboodle for that strike shortened ring everybody makes fun of and discounts.

24, number 8 is Shaq's number for Kobe.

You know, ibtl means something. People now morph that into "in before" damn near anything and it has absolutely no meaning. It's not like you cannot get in after the Shaq>Kobe discussion begins.
