Jimmy Kimmel plays a lot of pranks on people. It’s obviously one of the key components of his entire show. So when he told Shaquille O’Neal that he is getting his own statue outside of the Staples Center last night during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live—and that the Lakers had asked Kimmel to inform him about it—Shaq didn’t believe him.

It’s true, though. The Lakers are giving Shaq a statue, and it’s apparently going to look like this:
Lakers president and co-owner Jeanie Buss made it official by releasing this statement after Kimmel's big revelation:
She also shared her congratulations on Twitter:
Shaq is probably still in disbelief (and we don’t blame him). But believe it, Shaq. You’re getting a statue.
