Yeah but not as a Laker. |
I wouldn't have put Lebron down low looking up at guys who are his peers, not his superiors, as all-time NBA greats even if Lebron hasn't reached the mountain top yet as a Laker. But outside of that, it's a good piece. |
yeah, not sure Lebron would love this mural.....but I do. Gotta to climb to the top of the mountain wearing PnG if you want to be a great Laker. This is not Miami....we do not honor players based on what they accomplished for other teams. |

The power of this image to me is I see 5 players in the top 6-7 all time. Think about that. Unreal. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Yeah where the F is Jerry? A lakers mural with a carpetbagger but no Jerry West? And Wilt never played at the great western forum.

I like it. This is not a Lebron mural, it's a Laker mural. He hasn't done squat as a Laker yet. He's in his rightful place in that painting. |

I disagree. I see it as a Lebron mural. The whole focus point is clearly on him looking up. But I do agree with you that he is in his rightful place in the painting. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

I think his focus point is the focus point, and he's clearly focused on past Laker greats |

As a LAKER, he sure as hell is, still arguably the greatest legacy of them all. As an NBA player, he's RIGHT THERE pretty close with them. |

Well, at least we know what the vandals need to do. Paint West in over Lebron. |

This painting isn't just Laker players playing there whole career with the Lakers. If it was then he would be up there. West was a great player. But all these guys on this painting are tier I. West is maybe tier II. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Instead of appreciating this for what it is...let's have no information about its commission and complain about a perceived slight to a player we all love and respect but most of us never even watched live.

Yes he did. But the painting says Great Western Forum. Technically incorrect. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

Most of them never watched Wilt live either. He's up there, and it was on the team with Jerry West that he won that title here.
