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.
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 Waver. Also, the term DNP - Coach's Decision is misspelled in one line as DNP - Coach's Decicion.
The statue, made by artist Julie Rotblatt-Amrany, has been criticized for its proportions as well, as fans have voiced their opinion that one of Kobe's arms is seemingly longer than the other.
