Rumor has it that I will be getting a statue. A caveat for all my fans-don't hold your breath. Lakers don't care about me. #KAJ33

@ @kaj33 You are a legend. Why does it bother u so much? Ur accomplishments on court mean a lot more then a statue.

@sabres916 Your right but there is principal involved so I can't ignore the situation any longer. #KAJ33

@loctor Magic waited 8 years to be honored in that way. So maybe I am chopped liver? #KAJ33

@kaj33 Cap I don't know where the breakdown is. But YOU will get your statue ! That's unthinkable! Buss is not Sterling !

@ @realjazz2011 Re the Buss Family, I don't if you can be sure about that! #KAJ33

@ @kaj33 pipe down, old man. you've got plenty to be thankful for. count your immense blessings instead of crying over not having a statue.

@lukehagfors No tears just an oppty to state how I feel about the way things are. Justice deferred is justice denied. #KAJ33

@ Why are the biggest NBA legends so bitter? First MJ at HOF ceremony & now @kaj33 about not having a statue.

@MovieViral A slight is a slight. There is no bitterness. Laker fans have always let me know that they appreciated me. That is sufficient.

@kaj33 fair enough. It seems like a random thing to be airing out in the open. I'm curious to hear about the context that prompted this

@heyAndrew What prompted me has been a steady diet of disrespect from the supposedly wonderful Laker family. see Sporting News for the story

@ @kaj33 this is more than a statue, there is some kind of resentment fuming inside of you about something else involving management/ownership

@EverythingLaker Should we mention the straw that broke the camels back ?

Its not about a getting a statue because I'm over it - its about RESPECT! Lakers have given me the absolute minimum of respect. #KAJ33
