James Worthy tells TMZ Sports he could definitely see LeBron James getting statues in Cleveland AND Los Angeles one day.
The three-time NBA champ spoke with us about the King's Purple & Gold legacy earlier this week ... and he said it's entirely possible James gets the bronze treatment outside Crypto.com Arena one day.
"It depends on what he does here out," Worthy said at the Teqball USA Pre-ESPY party."Personally -- and I think he'd agree -- he hasn't been here long enough." "But I think his overall greatness, when you have a player like LeBron, who breaks Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's [all-time scoring] record in Los Angeles, does it as a Laker, then wins a championship as a Laker, you can't argue that he could get a statue in Los Angeles.""And he could get one in Cleveland as well," Worthy added."So, I don't know about Miami, but bringing one to Cleveland and Los Angeles, it's doable, in my opinion.
It's assumed LeBron will get a statue in Cleveland -- after all, he's by far the greatest player in franchise history and led the Cavaliers to their first championship.
