LSU Makes HISTORY! Kim Mulkey Immortalized with First-Ever Statue for Tigers Women’s Basketball—Now She’s the GOAT!
In a moment that will go down as one of the most iconic in LSU history, Kim Mulkey—the bold, bedazzled, and brilliant head coach of the LSU Tigers—has officially been honored with something no other woman in the program ever received: her very own statue.
Yes, you read that right. LSU has unveiled the first-ever statue dedicated to women’s basketball, and who better to stand at the forefront of this golden era than Kim Mulkey herself? With her legendary fashion sense, fierce sideline energy, and a coaching résumé that reads like a Hall of Fame script, Mulkey has now joined the pantheon of LSU immortals.
A Milestone That’s Bigger Than Basketball
This statue isn’t just about honoring one coach—it’s a historic, culture-shifting moment for women’s sports at LSU and beyond. In an arena long dominated by male monuments, LSU has officially broken the mold. Kim Mulkey has shattered records, broken ceilings, and now—she’s quite literally been cast in bronze.
Placed proudly outside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, the statue stands as a symbol of excellence, grit, and unrelenting drive. It’s also a reminder that women’s sports are not just here to stay—they’re here to lead.
From Championships to Cementing Her Legacy
Mulkey’s journey to this legendary honor was anything but ordinary. After a dynasty-building run at Baylor, she arrived at LSU with a mission—and she wasted zero time delivering.
In just her second season, she took LSU to the 2023 NCAA Championship, a feat that hadn’t been done in school history. The Tigers didn’t just win—they made a statement, dominating the court and grabbing the attention of the entire sports world.
Add to that her previous three national titles at Baylor and multiple Coach of the Year awards, and it becomes clear why Kim Mulkey is being called the GOAT—Greatest of All Time—by fans, players, and now, even LSU itself.
“This Is For All the Women Who Came Before”
In her emotional speech during the unveiling ceremony, Mulkey didn’t center the spotlight on herself. Instead, she paid tribute to the generations of women who paved the way.
“This statue isn’t just mine—it’s for every little girl who dreamed of playing ball, every woman who coached without recognition, and every trailblazer who refused to be sidelined,” she said, tears in her eyes.
And in true Mulkey fashion, she did it all in a glittering Tigers-themed outfit that turned as many heads as her trophy case.
Now She’s Bronze, But Still on Fire
Even as the statue glistens in the Louisiana sun, Kim Mulkey is far from done. With one national title already secured at LSU and a roster packed with top-tier talent, she’s gunning for more. Her goal? Build a dynasty that defines an era.
LSU just made history. And with Mulkey at the helm, they’re not stopping anytime soon.
Kim Mulkey isn’t just coaching greatness. She is greatness—etched in stone, sealed in legacy, and now, sculpted for eternity.
