Kobe Bryant’s statue was unveiled in February 2023 in Los Angeles near the Crypto.com Arena, formerly known as Staples Center. However, the statue itself contains multiple errors. Besides Bryant’s figure, the statue also includes five championship titles placed around the figure. The figure is placed on a triangle base, paying homage to head coach Phil Jackson’s famous triangle offense.

USC pulls away at the end to stun No. 5 Arizona 78-65. Tremendous efforts from Bruins forwards DJ Rodman and Kobe Johnson in their final home games. Both teams will next play in Vegas at the last-ever Pac 12 tournament. – 12:03 AM

Looked like USC’s Kobe Johnson strained something in his left leg on that last basket but he’s staying in the game. He’s been fantastic at both ends. Trojans up 10 at the under 4 timeout. – 11:55 PM

Russell just set a career high with 9 triples, the 3rd Laker to do so, matching Kobe (4 times) and LeBron (last season vs. LAC).
Kobe’s 12 3’s in a game is the only time a Laker has hit double-digit 3’s. – 12:25 AM

Additionally, it has a QR code to watch Kobe’s highlights, an inscription of all Bryant’s accolades. The boxscore of his famous 81-point game against the Toronto Raptors in 2006 is engraved as well. That’s where the errors come. Namely, names of two players are misspelled: Jose Calderon is spelled as Jose Calderson, while Von Wafer’s name is engraved as Vom Wafer. Also, the term DNP – Coach’s Decision is misspelled in one line as DNP – Coach’s Decicion. -via BasketNews / March 11, 2024
