Lakers Announce Statue for Former Head Coach Phil Jackson
- On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that a statue honoring Phil Jackson will be unveiled outside Crypto.com Arena on April 9, 2027, before the team's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
- Lakers Governor Jeanie Buss credited Jackson's 'masterful approach' for restoring the team's championship legacy, as he guided the franchise to five titles by running his triangle offense through Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and Pau Gasol.
- Inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007, Jackson holds an NBA-record 11 titles, surpassing the record previously held by former Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach.
- Jackson will become the ninth Laker immortalized at Star Plaza, joining franchise icons Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Elgin Baylor, Chick Hearn, Magic Johnson, Pat Riley, Jerry West, O'Neal, and Bryant.
- Sculptor Omri Amrany of Rotblatt Amrany Studio is designing the tribute, which comes fourteen months after the organization recognized another franchise legend.
