One month after the Los Angeles Lakers unveiled their Kobe Bryant statue to honor the late NBA legend, the new landmark apparently has more than a few egregious man-made errors.
On Monday, German basketball journalist André Voigt posted a series of viral photos that showed at least three typos in the box score etched into the marble base of the statue.
Former Laker Von Wafer’s and former Toronto Raptors guard José Calderón’s names are misspelled as “Vom Wafer” and “Jose Calderson.” Those two players were included in the box score of Bryant’s historic 81-point game against Toronto in January 2006. In addition, the word “decision” in “Coach’s Decision” is misspelled as “decicion.”
