Errors Corrected On Kobe Bryant Statue Outside Crypto.com Arena

Here are some of the necessary corrections that were made:

The names of Jose Calderon and Von Wafer were initially misspelled on the replica box score from Bryant’s 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors.

The formatting on the list of career statistical achievements on the front of the base was also adjusted. And Bryant’s facsimile signature was recreated to simply read “Kobe,” rather than “Kobe 24,” since the statue shows Bryant wearing his white, No. 8 Lakers uniform.

The name of the statue’s sculptor, Julie Rotblatt Amrany, was also added to the base.

The mistakes might seem minor, but everything just has to be right on these statues of the greatest Lakers player, and one of the greatest NBA players ever. Errors are bound to occur as everyone is human, but the important thing is that it is now all corrected and people can enjoy the statue and pay tribute to Kobe.

With everything now proper on this initial statue, the focus can now go on what the other two will look like. There will still be another statue featuring Kobe in his 24 jersey, as well as a third featuring the Lakers legend and daughter Gianna.
