The self-proclaimed Most Dominant Ever returned to the site of his peak dominance, flanked by a cast of basketball royalty so large that a horde of handlers struggled to get everyone to squeeze into a single picture frame. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, James Worthy, Luke Walton, A.C. Green, Gary Payton, Derek Fisher, Robert Horry, Brian Shaw and more than a dozen other notable former Lakers assembled outside the Staples Center on Friday to honor Shaquille O’Neal, who teamed with Bryant to bring three consecutive championships to Southern California from 2000 to 2002.

Officially, the group of luminaries, and the hundreds of fans decked out in purple and gold, were there to witness the unveiling of a gigantic 1,500-pound statue that is suspended above the Staples Center walkway, not far from similar tributes to Abdul-Jabbar, West and Magic Johnson. Unofficially, everyone was glad to take a moment out from another discouraging Lakers campaign to reminisce on better days.

Shaquille O’Neal was a true forced on the court and it is always great to see such starts immortalized in bronze for future generations to enjoy plus reference.

While marble statues are most popularly associated with the Classical Age, in the Hellenistic Period — between Alexander the Great’s death in 323 B.C. and the rise of Rome in 31 B.C. — bronze was the premiere sculptural form.

Yet because of the nature of the medium — an alloy comprising copper, tin, aluminum and other metals — most of those works were melted down through the ages to produce helmets, shields, hinges and a host of other objects needed at the time.

“The ones that we don’t have and we haven’t found are gone forever because they were melted down. And that’s the vast majority, thousands and thousands,” said Kenneth Lapatin, co-creator of the exhibit “Power and Pathos,” which originated at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.

It’s now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, showcasing some 50 bronzes once lost in fires, shipwrecks, volcanoes and earthquakes, and includes the statue base of one of the greatest bronze sculptors, Lysippos, the favorite of Alexander the Great.

“He was the Michelangelo of the period. We know from ancient writers that he made 1,500 statues. Not a single one survives, and that stone base is the closest we can get to his work,” Lapatin said.

Currently, we are putting the final touches on our custom 8ft bronze sculpture of General Tran Dow. Showing how we can take photographs and images and turn them into three dimensional sculpture to last a lifetime. This creation was done exclusively for a group of previous clients that placed our final casting of the late Ronald Reagan at Mile Square Park in Orange County, California.

Tran Hung Dao was born under the name of Tran Quoc Tuan around the year 1229 and past away in the year 1300 as a figure of legendary proportions.General Tran Hung Dao was known for using guerrilla warfare and scorched-earth tactics against his enemies and with an amazing counteroffensive, he was able to liberate the capital of Vietnam which drove the Mongols back to China.  With his actions, he became the first great Vietnamese military strategists that is still recognized among current Vietnam communities and people still to this day.

This is the first of a limited edition creation for our client and the detail was captured beautifully so that whether up close or from a distance, you will know it is the great General Tran Hung Dao.  Over the next few years, we will be working with our clients and other communities to place one among other areas around the USA and the world to celebrate an amazing war hero and icon of the world.
