To be fair I think Kobe’s face is hard to articulate

2 statues of Kobe and neither look like him. There are literally hundreds of Murals all over LA of him, couldn’t they have found an artist who could make it look like him?

Goodness. Every Kobe mural in LA fits in one of two categories.. looks exactly like Kobe or looks like some random black dude…
This statue fits right in

Yeah ngl both statues of Kobe are egregiously bad. It doesn’t take a genius to see that’s not Kobe.

How fucking hard is it to get his face right. The facial hair texture is like they modeled this after a white guy. wtf.
