Move over, Phil Jackson. It’s time for Lakers to honor Jerry Buss with overdue honor
HealthStatue unveiling
The Lakers announced a statue of Phil Jackson, following the honoring of Pat Riley, a key figure of the Lakers' 'Showtime' era.
The author suggests it's time for the Lakers to honor Jerry Buss, who has not been honored with a statue yet.
- The timing of the Lakers announcing they’re going to unveil a statue of legendary coach Phil Jackson made a lot of sense.
- The franchise was less than seven months removed from immortalizing Pat Riley, one of the last key figures of the Lakers’ “Showtime” era who hadn’t been honored with a statue up until that point (James Worthy is also deserving of a statue).
- Jerry Buss after his memorial service outside the Nokia Theatre L.A.
Key Takeaways
- The Lakers are unveiling a statue of Phil Jackson
- James Worthy is also deserving of a statue
