Участник:RMCD bot/subject notice The statue of Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, California, is a work of public art by the American artist Julie Rotblatt-Amrany. The bronze statue, of the American basketball player Kobe Bryant, stands on a plinth in front of the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles.
History
On February 8, 2024, The Los Angeles Lakers unveiled a 19-foot statue of former and deceased NBA player Kobe Bryant outside of the Crypto.com Arena.[1] The statue, sculpted by Julie Rotblatt-Amrany,[2] depicts Bryant's finger skyward pose after his famous career-high 81-point game on January 22, 2006, against the Toronto Raptors, with his name and scorer's report from that game etched into the statue.[3] The statue honoring Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna Bryant received some mixed reactions from fans shortly after the statue's unveiling.[4]
Reception
Around one month after the statue's unveiling, fans outside of Crypto.Com Arena began to spot multiple spelling errors on the sculpture.[5] The errors included misspelling of Toronto Raptors guard José Calderón as "Jose Calderson", misspelling of Los Angeles Lakers guard Von Wafer as "Vom Wafer", and the word "decision" misspelled as "decicion" in the sentence, "Coach's decision".[6]
Some fans were disappointed by the statue, saying that the statue's face looked more like Andre Ingram,[4] and that the statue had a lack of detail. Others said that the statue was small, which they said was "disrespect to Kobe."[7] Fans also pointed out minor formatting errors on the base of the statue which displays many of Bryant's accomplishments throughout his 20-season-long career.
The Los Angeles Lakers on March 11, 2024, announced their plans to correct and fix spelling errors and formatting errors on the statue. The sculpture is one of the three memorials planned to stand outside their downtown arena.[8]
