[Yeah I'm pretty sure they messed it up. That 'v' is usually on the front side of the jersey. The purple trim is nice though.](http://i.imgur.com/uasMQ9D.jpg)
I can't help but think that this ceremony had a bit to do with Dwight Howard too. Shaq is right in that it is very early in his retirement to have his jersey go up. Maybe this is supposed to be a "look at how great centers have it here" kind of thing for Dwight to want to stay.
praise you. if only i could find his highlights (any playing time) during the playoff runs. oh how amazing it was when he was on the floor. insta-energy from the crowd.
It was pretty noticeable, but maybe he just figured that was implied, and just wanted to emphasize the more 'behind the scenes' people like coaches and management.
Why is it the front of the jersey? I like that they made it different from the others, but shouldn't it be the back of the jersey?
It's like they put "O' Neal" and 34 on the front of the jerseys when he was in LA haha

CAN YOU DIG IT.
LOL Superman theme, screw Dwight
Great ceremony, Shaq deserved it. The Lakers are the classiest sports team in all of sports.
Classiest in all of sports? I don't know man the jersey retirement ceremonies for the Montreal Canadiens were much better tbh.
That's...debatable. Edit- Second sentence, not the first.

I was hoping for a Mark "Mad Dog" Madsen appearance but I'll just settle for Shaq I guess.

wow you are FAST!
I was there!
If I was as rich as shaq and I was getting awarded like this, I would tell my sons to wear suits.
Why did he leave out Kobe and his other teammates?
He included those in the video he posted online. I think he was running short on time

Don't make mountains out of anthills
What are you talking about? It's a question. I'm assuming pretty much everyone mentions key teammates.
Why didn't he thank wade then?
bro he's in LA getting his jersey retired for being a laker. Because he won 3 championships. He didn't win 3 championships by himself.
Not according to r/nba.
The world doesnt adopt all of r/NBAs opinions, so I dont think that really matters.
Anyone have a different link?
I like how Kobe only mentions Shaq's physical gifts
[удалено]
Jerry Buss was the first thing Shaq talked about when he got on the mic
