The Los Angeles Lakers have acknowledged errors on the base of the recently unveiled statue of Kobe Bryant outside their arena. The errors include misspelled names of former NBA players Jose Calderon and Von Wafer, as well as a misspelling of the phrase 'Coach's Decision' in a rendering of the box score from Bryant's historic 81-point game in January 2006. Additionally, there are minor formatting mistakes on another part of the base, which showcases many of Bryant's achievements.
In response to the errors, the Lakers have stated that they have been aware of the issues for a few weeks and are actively working to correct them promptly. The box score, depicting Bryant's remarkable performance, is etched into the marble base of the 19-foot bronze statue, capturing his postgame celebration after the second highest-scoring game in NBA history.
