Well it’s about time. The leagues all-time leading scorer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar finallygot the statue he deserves at long last.
“Having lived my life and had the experiences I’ve had Abdul-Jabbar said, I can understand now what a man like Lou Gehrig means when he considers himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth,”
The 16-foot-tall statue of Abdul-Jabbar joins the bronze likeness of fellow Los Angeles Lakers greats Magic Johnson and Jerry West who already have statues in front of the Staples Center. Let’s hope the next great six-time MVP to score 38,387 points during his career won’t have to wait so long for the same honors.

As far as collaborations go, merging the awesomeness of Kobe Bryant with the awesomeness of Bruce Lee if right up there with Chicken and Waffles or Milk and Cookies. Already available in limited numbers, the Kobe V “Bruce Lee” pays homage to the most famous Kung Fu artist of all time.
The design of the shoe is inspired from the Bruce Lee classic “Game Of Death“, and sports a yellow synthetic base and black bonded overlays, with four red scratch marks along the lateral side of the toe symbolizing Lee’s battle scars in the movie. So it’ll go great with your yellow Bruce Lee jumpsuit Kareem Abdul-Jabbar messed up.
What’s even cooler about this collaboration is the posters created for them where Kobe Bryant re-creates a few of Bruce Lee’s famous poses, like the ‘Game of Death’ poster.
Be sure to check out the posters below, after the jump.

NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar has a rare form of leukemia, but the Lakers legend says his long-term prognosis is very good. Abdul-Jabbar, 62, revealed during an interview Monday that he has Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that produces cancerous blood cells.
