The Los Angeles Lakers have had some of the best players and coaches in NBA history, resulting in 17 championships during their time as a franchise.
And perhaps no one honors current and past members of their organization better than the Lakers, whether that be with retired numbers, statues outside Crypto.com Arena or various other ways.
This season is a special one as the Lakers are set to retire Michael Cooper’s No. 21 jersey after he finally made the Basketball Hall of Fame. Additionally, the organization also recently announced plans for a statue honoring former coach Pat Riley in the coming years.
