    It has been 23 years since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar last played for the Los Angeles Lakers, but soon fans headed to Staples Center will see him every day.

    The Lakers plan to erect a statue outside the arena to honor The Captain, the NBA's all-time leading scorer.

    The Lakers plan to announce the date of the official unveiling of the statue in the near future, according to a league source.

    He should have already had one long ago.

    I think he'd rather have a head coaching job than the statue. That he's never been given that opportunity is one of the biggest disgraces in the game, IMO.
