About Time... Last Friday, Los Angeles Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was immortalized outside of STAPLES Center when a statue honoring him was unveiled next to those of Magic Johnson, Jerry West, former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya, L.A. Kings great Wayne Gretzky and the late Lakers commentator, Chick Hearn. Just wondering: How is it that Stephon Marbury got a statue [for winning a (non-NBA) title in China earlier this year] before a Hall of Famer who won six NBA championships and is currently the league's all-time leading scorer did? Better late than never, I guess.
