Typos On Kobe Bryant Statue Will Be Fixed

LOS ANGELES — A statue of Kobe Bryant unveiled last month in honor of the late Lakers legend at Crypto.com Arena has several typos, according to reports.

The misspellings on the box score at the statue’s base include the names of former Lakers guard Von Wafer (misspelled Vom) and former Toronto Raptors guard José Calderón (misspelled Jose Calderson) and, in two places, the word decision (misspelled decicion), The Athletic reported.

A team spokesperson confirmed to The Athletic that the Lakers were aware of the issue and working to fix it.

The typos first gained attention from a social media post by German basketball journalist André Voigt, according to reports.

The 19-foot statue was designed by Omri Amrany and Julie Rotblatt-Amrany, and immortalizes Bryant’s 81-point game against Toronto in 2006, Sports Illustrated reported, adding it is one of three statues commissioned in Bryant’s memory.
