Lakers to Wear Shaquille O'Neal-Themed Socks in Honor of Staples Center Statue

Shaquille O'Neal's Staples Center statue will be unveiled when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Minnesota Timberwolves at 10:30 p.m. ET Friday night.

On the court, the Big Aristotle's former team will rock Shaq-themed Stance socks. O'Neal hammers home a two-handed dunk in the image on the socks, which mirrors his statue:

The nine-foot, 1,200-pound bronze statue will be suspended 10 feet off the ground. Bleacher Report's Dave Schilling talked to Omri Amrany, who came up with the unique design idea, ahead of the ceremony.
