In this episode of Black in Sports, we pull back the curtain on one of sports’ highest honors — getting your very own statue. How do you go from scoring touchdowns, draining jumpers, or hitting game-winners… to being cast in bronze forever? And who decides if you’re worthy?
Tom Brady Statue - From the gridiron to the bronze — how do athletes go from stars to statues? In this episode of Black in Sports, we dive into the world of sports monuments, uncovering what it really takes for an athlete to get immortalized in metal and marble.

We talk Tom Brady – does the G.O.A.T. deserve two statues, and where should it stand? — the G.O.A.T. of football. After seven Super Bowls, three MVPs, and over two decades of dominance… does Brady automatically get a statue? Where would it go — Foxborough, Tampa, or maybe both? Plus, we break down iconic sports statues across the U.S., from MJ soaring outside the United Center to Serena’s game face in Australia. Who gets honored, who’s missing, and why these tributes can mean just as much as championships.

Expect hot takes, history lessons, and some surprising names we think deserve a statue yesterday. Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a sports history buff, or someone who’s just here to see the G.O.A.T.s get their flowers, this episode will have you looking at sports greatness in a whole new way.

Some players get rings. The greatest get immortalized. But we’re not stopping there. We ask the big questions:
🏆 What actually qualifies an athlete for a statue?
🔥Is it about numbers, moments, or the impact beyond the game?
📌Why do some legends still not have one?
🎙 Should every Hall of Famer be cast in stone… or is that too easy?

Along the way, MH & EJ drop their personal picks for athletes who need a statue ASAP, including some names you definitely didn’t expect. We debate the politics, the passion, and the pride behind the process — and we even throw out some bold takes on who shouldn’t get one (get ready for the comments section).
From sports history buffs to die-hard fans, this episode is a journey into how legends live forever, even after the cheers fade. Because when you get a statue, you don’t just make the Hall of Fame… you become part of the city’s soul.
