Beyond the debate over titles, Shaq also weighed in on whether LeBron deserves a statue outside Crypto.com Arena, alongside Lakers legends like Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kobe Bryant. “LeBron broke the record, and he did it as a Laker. Would I oppose him having a statue in Los Angeles? No, I wouldn’t. If they want to give him a statue, I’d be fine with that. He’s a great player, with great ability, and he did what he was supposed to do as a Laker.”

In three straight games now, at Indiana, Chicago and Memphis, the Lakers consistently build 10-point leads, and the home team refuses to relent.
Most recently, LeBron’s FT made it 98-88, and Memphis quickly went on a 9-3 run to trim it to 4. – 9:49 PM

More on this storyline
“I’m not the one you should ask about that,” Shaq said when discussing LeBron’s 2020 title. “But he won a championship with the Lakers, and a lot of people try to discredit it. If that one doesn’t count, then you can’t count Mr. [Tim] Duncan’s bubble championship either. That’s right. I said it! If we’re counting Tim Duncan’s lockout-year championship, then you have to count LeBron’s too.” -via ScoopB.com / March 30, 2025
LeBron will likely opt out of his $50.6 million player option, but he is not expected to leave Los Angeles, league sources told ClutchPoints. This has been James’ strategy through the years, signing those unique “1+1” contracts which give him and the Lakers flexibility to adjust their cap numbers accordingly. -via Clutch Points / March 30, 2025
With the Los Angeles Lakers looking to salvage some momentum on their four-game road trip that featured a gut-punch loss on a half-court buzzer-beater by the Chicago Bulls, Lakers coach JJ Redick gathered LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves for a meeting in Memphis on Saturday morning. “We challenged all three of them when we get to their three-man actions to play with a little more force and a little more thrust and a little more creativity,” Redick said of his message. The trio responded by combining for 85 points and 25 assists in Los Angeles’ 134-127 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The three generated 120 of Los Angeles’ points. “We played as well as we’ve played so far, offensively,” Redick said. -via ESPN / March 30, 2025
