Kobe Bryant, Muhammad Ali among athletes who would get statues in President Donald Trump's National Garden

Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and boxing great Muhammad Ali are among the athletes who President Donald Trump wants to receive a statue in the National Garden of American Heroes. Trump issued an executive order Monday unveiling details of the proposed garden, which will contain statues of honoring American heroes.

Ali and Bryant aren’t the only athletes who would receive a statue in the National Garden. Roberto Clemente, Vince Lombardi, Jesse Owens, Babe Ruth, Cy Young and many others would be immortalized at the National Garden. The list does not feature any women athletes.

Trump introduced the idea of building a monument dedicated to American heroes in July. Trump wanted to build the garden to “reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism,” according to the order.

The man has done more for the black community than any President since Johnson. I'm going to grab some popcorn, a coke... sit back and watch victimhood status spread wider and deeper then ever before in the community over the next four years.

That list is as good as it gets as far as individuals who promoted a growth mentality and push our limits. Good job Trump.

This is a fairly meaningless executive order to sign as you're heading out the door.

For it to actually happen, Congress would need to allocate money, and it would need champions to try to push it through.

The list of people itself seems exceedingly random to me.

Shaq is best friends with Trump. In fact, Trump likes black athletes. He likes black people who fit neatly into black stereotypes; athletes, rappers, criminals. If you fit one of those three categories, he's cool with you.

I don't know. If you started a list with George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, it's just obvious that Alex Trebek would be a choice. It's a shame that Bob Barker is still alive, or else he could be on the list, too.

Well, sure. None of us can argue with Alex Trebek, Lauren Bacall, Charlton Heston, and Whitney Houston. But some of the names are just wacky.

Care to provide some examples? Speaking as a part of the black community I don't see how he has done anything, so I would be extremely happy for you to enlighten me on the positive impact he has had on my community.

I'm not even being facetious, I'm genuinely curious to hear your long list of things Trump has done for my people. Feel free to reply to me via PM if you don't want to have a public discussion, or are afraid of the thread getting locked due to political discourse.

As it should be. It is an important day for our country. A changing of the guard is a glorious thing.

For today we can all celebrate the pageantry, have positive media spin, celebrities and the entertainment community can combine for a hell of a show to rival the Emmys. We have messages of unity and moving forward. We all should be taking a collective breath and relax before the real work begins.

Sadly, it won’t take long before the accountability of the policy changes or lack of changes that President Harris enacts. Once the collective hatred of Trump fades and the country starts realizing exactly what political and practical changes are about to be initiated. Both in our country and worldwide.

Give it a couple months. Then we will start to see what we just voted for in this election. Some long overdue and needed, but some others misguided and damaging. Just will depend on your POV.

So enjoy the day. Spread cheer and joy for a hard fought victory. Apparently it will be one hell of a show.
