Instead of Jose Calderon’s name on the boxscore of Kobe’s faithful 81-point night against the Raptors, it says Jose Calderson. Instead of Von Wafer’s correctly spelled name, it reads Vom Wafer, and instead of ‘Coach’s Decision’ it reads ‘Coach’s Decicion’, even though it was spelled correctly directly above.

Damn they must have been very close to writing “Colby Bryant” on the statue
L akers
The statue also looks stupid
Looks like a bad angle of Kobe
Kobe would have wanted it torn down and done right
Don’t they have people who check through these things to avoid mistakes?
I didnt even realize the stat sheet was on there. Seems kinda dumb to put those names on there, but misspellings shouldnt happen. Huge failure with that.
bone beak byrant
it must have been a crazy deadline for making these and nobody had time to double check. lol, how unprofessional is this?
The way Jeanie has “honored” his legacy never felt right after doing the whole jersey ceremony with notes on a sheet of very crumpled paper. Like, damn, this guy made your family hundreds of millions, can’t you at least have someone on staff type down your spiel?
Fucking Jason. He’s dyslexic.
Imagine if the lakers FO had to run a small market team lmao, they’d be so cooked without the LA easy mode
But this sub said it was made by the Lebron of Michael Jordan statue sculptors
So, the statue seemed great at first but upon close inspection, is deeply flawed. How meta.
In other news Golden State unveiled their Raymond Green statue
Lol I wish it could be timed on how long the first HR employee takes to check this
Giving it 3 hours till an official statement appears
Calderson lmao
Also they don’t have Kobe in the statue
It also doesn’t mention he is 1/1 on rapes.
Different scenario but remember shaq’s retired jersey? Lol
Jose Calderon’s legacy remains intact!
The PES of statues.
Did no one at the top even bother to look at this before the unveiling? Really shows how much they care, sheesh
dead link
Hard work
The original stat sheet DID have those errors and the makers just did an exact copy.
Before we bash too much, somebody confirm with his wife to make sure this is how Kobe wanted it
Am I the only one enjoying the irony of “faithful” rather than the more appropriate “fateful” in this post
Talk about raping a guy’s legacy.
Not to be nitpicky but in a post where you’re pointing out mistakes, you should be careful not to make any.
*”Fateful night” not “faithful night”
the people who really in their feelings about this are the type of people I do not want to meet in life. miserable bastards.
Its Kobe
Its a statue to get a photo with and bring back some memories.
Statues are dumb anyway. Kobe is Kobe. chill on the statue.
I bet jose calderon wishes kobe put 81 past someone else anyway.
i worry about some of yall. The ball season is good right now and yall worry about some proofreading. if Kobe was here, he would think yall weird
It’s this type or carelessness that drives me mad.
Here’s my shot of it

LA intelligence on full display
Embarrassing, but why are all those names even on the statue?
How the fuck do you write “Decision” right first and on the very next line you get it wrong?

LeBron outsourced the spelling to his Promise School.
